Pay Special Attention to Your Wife This Holiday Season

[Ron Party]

Husbands out there, don't blow it. Make sure you get your wives an appropriate gift this holiday season:

I've seen this before. Priceless!

I told my wife I was getting her an opal-encrusted mop this year....... Hope they've got room for me in there...

you actually saw it here earlier this year IIRC

Steve, you do remember correctly. I know because I was the one who had previously posted that video. I just thought it was deserving of its own thread at this time of year, that being the holiday season. With as much $$$ as many of our members here spend on gear or on music and concerts - for me, it's a hefty sum on music and particularly on concerts - we better put in some thought on our wives, who allow us to be adult boys with our toys.

My wife asked me for a new bedroom stereo system. The way her tastes have evolved, I would spend less at Hermes!

Ron, she wants a Sonos as well as a CD player!

One of the three things I don't like about my iPad. The other two are lack of cursor control with the external keyboard and the random (and incredibly frustrating) random movement of the page I am viewing

Your wife knows what a mop is? Consider yourself lucky.

Having successfully enraged women from childhood, I have come to view them as chronically enraged no matter what my actions.

The bower bird approach of engaging increasingly extortionate gifting in exchange for decreasing amounts of nookie never struck me as a very good deal, more like a trap, though I guess some men and women seem to enjoy the sado masochism of this ritual.

My wife and I have managed to remain good friends for over 30 years in spite of a low "gifting" tendency from each of us. I continue to enrage (and entertain in some undecipherable way) her, so that hasn't changed.

That being said, we are going to play "catch up" on technology and I will be getting her one of those talking GPS thingies for her car.

Speaking of this, I am not sure I have ever surprised my wife better than when I gave her a Kindle for her birthday this year. She was overjoyed and still talks about it. I got her a bright green case with LED lighting (very clever) and she uses it constantly. Amazon has really done a nice job with this device.

She has now downloaded the Kindle app on her PC and reads color versions of her books there too.

There is an incredibly huge market for "bodice rippers", otherwise known as female romantic fiction. They can buy these by the dozens for the e-book readers and can take them wherever they go without revealing the covers, which typically have some variation of Fabio on the cover, rippling muscles, sometimes on horseback, with a non-cleavage impaired female swooning somewhere in the vicinity.

When going to the e-book lending library, you have to wade through mountains of these things to find a "real" book.

I did the same in April, and it was the best gift I ever got her.
