Thread: What did you buy SWMBO for Christmas?

Getting my wife a couple pieces of jewelry (not pricey but ones she told me she likes) and a couple of fountain pens and ink.

Otherwise pretty low key - more about the time together than the commercial aspect of the holiday.

Aloha!

Lots of electronic gadgets. She wanted a wireless speakers system for the Condo in Hawaii. Check. She wanted a wireless charger for her iPhone and iWatch. Check. Amazon Echo. Check.

And...

She does not like sexy underthings, and that's a shame because she's a very attractive woman who works out and takes great care of herself. She looks 15 years younger than her age. But she doesn't like anything "sexy" at bed time .... SO, I am tricking her. I've tricked her before like this. I buy these cute cat shorty pajamas a size too small for her, so they look very sexy.... and since they are CAT themed, she actually wears them! She loves cats. She just says, "Aren't they a bit small for me?" I just smile and say, "Um.... No".

More of a gift to ME than HER, but what the heck.

Now THESE are TRULY the CAT'S PAJAMAS!

After 52 years of marriage, we don't exchange gifts the way we did when our children were young. If there is something we want or need throughout the year, we usually get it. I just had to replace my 10 year old computer, which is all the gift that I need. I will usually give her a card with a little cash, a gift certificate to her favorite site for women's clothes on sale, and a calendar from a favorite artist that she likes to put up each year. She'll often pick out a fragrance or aftershave that she thinks I'll like. Enjoying another Christmas together in reasonable health is a blessing and is all we need.

You may have got your money's worth, Richard, if you managed to get 10 years out of your last computer.

Gonna give her what she likes.

The same old Spotted Dick pudding....

A payment book, for a used 2016. Buick, Encore.

Trying again to walk the fine line of domestic gadgets.
Got her a lil robot vacuum designed for tile and hardwood, plus a stocking full of beauty items.

Like many of you, we get what we need throughout the year, and blessedly, have lived long enough to really not be wanting for anything ‘specific’.
Time off work, at home, with family, with lots of tasty leftovers, with some Irish whiskey,,, that’s Christmas men!

Wish I could use that trick. My wife is cold all the time.
