Poor guy. My wife is fine with appliances. She doesn't wear jewelry and every time I've bought her clothes, it gets returned for one reason or another. I bought her a fridge this year.I have been married for 33 years. Approaching our first Christmas my wife mentioned the vacuum I brought to the marriage was getting tired. I suggested I would get her one for Christmas. It was at that point she told me in no uncertain terms that if I wanted a long and happy life she had better not ever get an appliance as a gift for any occasion. I have lived by that rule and have had 33 years and counting of happiness. ?
There will be other smaller gifts and stocking stuffers are key.Ok, before ya’ll think my husband is terrible, believe me, I lack for nothing. He makes sure that anything I want, I get. It’s just that I really don’t need anything, and I’m also not big into jewelry and it’s best I pick my own clothes out. If it were up to him, I’d be running around in black stretch pants only (that’s another story).

We’ve been married 33 yrs also, 34 in January. He told me up front not to expect flowers or jewelry. He’s only broken that twice. The first was our tenth anniversary and he woke me up with a dozen long-stemmed roses. The second, was our twentieth anniversary and he bought me an anniversary ring. Regular stuff for our thirtieth.I have been married for 33 years. Approaching our first Christmas my wife mentioned the vacuum I brought to the marriage was getting tired.

These days, it's not that hard. For a week, every time you see your hubby's phone unattended, just speak these words nearby it: "diamond earrings". Soon, he will be flooded with ads for them. He'll be desperate for present ideas and make the connection.Say I just know that gift under the tree is a pair of diamond earrings?![]()
If only!These days, it's not that hard. For a week, every time you see your hubby's phone unattended, just speak these words nearby it: "diamond earrings". Soon, he will be flooded with ads for them. He'll be desperate for present ideas and make the connection.
He refuses to graduate from his flip phone!

A little TMI.
Me prior to leaving for work this AM: “I’m getting low on Miralax.”
Husband: “Do you think you have enough to make it to Saturday morning?”
Guess I know what one of my Christmas presents is.
