Christmas Gift Ideas

[BigPiney]

I'd love ideas as well. We've had other things on our mind and Christmas presents wasn't one of them.

I'm getting Mrs. Meanie some new potholders. Seriously. She loves potholders more than anybody I know. But I'm struggling to come up with something besides potholders.

Channeling Fetterman, I got Mrs. Diddley a Christmas message from an actor she loves. I made and printed a card with a QR code so she can see it on her phone.

I'm thinking about getting Mrs. NWC a small model car with a bow on it for laughs. The levity may help since the one gift she asked for may not arrive until after Christmas, even though I ordered it 2 weeks ago

A December to remember? Toyotathon?

My gifts this year are a little on the boring side. Share your ideas with me so I don't look like a loser!

Doesn't need to be expensive, as I've spent enough money; they are just lacking any sort of excitement.

I just got her the stuff she asked for, using the Amazon links she provided me in a text several weeks ago. If the gifts are on the boring side, it's her own fault. Might not be that exciting for you and/or your wife since you guys probably already have this stuff, but I guess you could get her another one of each:

Immersion blender
Empanada/dumpling press with silicon baking mats
3-chain necklace
A book
Air fryer (she didn't provide a link on this one, so I did my own research and went with the Cosori Pro II)

She also asked that I perform various chores around the house (some of which she's been requesting for over a year - would be longer except we've only been in the house since last September):

• Switch the office with the guest room (I just love switching rooms. It's the best.). This is mostly completed, including filling in the many holes that were in the walls of the new office and re-painting it
• Re-do the remaining countertops with epoxy resin. I have not started this yet. In conjunction with this project, I want to replace the kitchen sink and faucet. I already have the new faucet but haven't gotten around to acquiring the new sink.
• Hang pictures and mirrors and stuff upstairs. I've been putting this off because I want to paint upstairs before hanging everything. I've been putting off the painting because I don't want to do it.

And in looking over her text messages, it looks like I forgot that she also wants Honey Sugar Scrub from Victoria's Secret.

Is this a complete the remaining countertops, or do them over?

We did the island about a year ago. Have not started on the rest of the countertops yet.

Dude, were you not aware that we kicked off this year with the great penis controversy of 2023? <sigh> How quickly we forget...

I fondly remember that. Just wasn't sure if he had completed more than the island.

My wife and I just tell each other what we want and typically buy it ourselves. You don't want/need anything? Great.

It is a glorious phase in our relationship.

I like the point in a relationship where giving pot holders for Christmas is enough to make the wife happy.

My wife ordered something that she had previously told me she wanted for Christmas. I saw the Amazon order go through, so I didn't worry about getting that item for her. I saw the unpackaged item in our room the other day, and teased her that I was going to have to return the item that I'd purchased for her.

I deleted the year from the thread title to promote the thread's timelessness and universal appeal.

For my birthday a couple of years ago, my son got me a Cameo from Jimmer. It was awesome.
