Thread: What did you buy SWMBO for Christmas?

Hell, Pete. I just give her a Benjamin and drop her off!

New Couch, A few kitchen tools, a purse for her already to large collection of purses, candy, and a few thing she bought on her own. Oh, And 4 hones for her kitchen knives. Well, I think she will think they are for me. Ha. I must admit she picked out and found most of it for herself.

And a partridge in a pear tree!

She gets to pick out what she wants, it fits and is the right color.
The furthest I have to go into the store is the cash register.

Win - Win for both of us.

I don't understand from a consumers point of view why to give a gift card.

Give her a $100 bill and she can spend it when and where she likes.

Money talks. Let her spend some cash. Lot's more personal.

Then, she will come out to the car and need 38.77. You pass it over to her and smile!.
You are miles ahead!

This IS (of course) on a scale of us poor guys up unto our most top-earners! It could get bad!

If I was rich i could give her 2 $100 bills.

Simple.... It's what she wanted.

That is the perfect answer!

Gift cards are so much more easily lost than cold, hard cash. Simple fact, just sayin'...

I've rarely had an issue misplacing $100 bills.
