December 12, 20196 yr I fucking nailed it (sonic ice maker)...until amazon delivered it in the box even though i marked "gift"....so, i guess she wont believe in santa any more.
December 12, 20196 yr Author I bought that same ice machine for my Dad - same thing - glad it was delivered to my house. That's gonna be fun to wrap, it's a heavy fucker.
December 12, 20196 yr We’ve been married 25 years and that shit stopped at least 10 years ago. Between presents for our own 3 kids, our parents, and something for every niece and nephew, it is a goddamn beating. We both agree on this, albeit it did take a bit longer for her to come around. Now we just spend a shitload on booze and drink ourselves through the holiday needless spending on bullshit. I fucking hate Christmas.
December 13, 20196 yr Wife asked for the BBC. Why the fuck would she want a news channel? I'm assuming they have an ap?
December 13, 20196 yr She still wants diamonds. Nope. I won the lottery in this department. No fancy jewelry, designer purses, Italian shoes...none of that shit. I’ve contributed my share to the wives thread, but it wasn’t for crap like this.

December 13, 20196 yr Wife asked for the BBC. Why the fuck would she want a news channel? I'm assuming they have an ap?Damn Jimbo. You didn’t have to come here and ask that. They probably have special forums for y’all.

We bought one when they did their first run a couple of years ago. It worked fine for a while but then it started leaking water everywhere and found it’s way to the dumpster. Plus you have to be obsessive about cleaning it since it’s a closed system which my wife was not. We bought a house and started renovations recently after just now finishing up renovations on a beach house, so she sure better not be counting on anything this year. We have the no presents rule also, but I still have always bought her something in the past.

December 17, 20196 yr A nice inexpensive Seiko watch (half off at Kohl’s) to replace the one she broke when she fell down some steps at St. Paul’s in London last year. A box of Lamme’s chewy pralines.

December 18, 20196 yr We don't exchange gifts because we're adults with children and self-esteem. I’ll be damned if I’m buying gifts for a long list of friends and family but not putting any time, effort, or money into getting my favorite person (wife) a gift. Sounds like a boring relationship to just throw in the towel on each other each year.Not sure what it matters but we’re adults with self esteem and no children.

Sounds like a boring relationship to just throw in the towel on each other each year. Not sure what it matters but we’re adults with self esteem and no children. Not buying gifts means ‘boring relationship’ to you. I’m sorry to hear that. we just had a baby 8 months ago and this is her first Christmas so focus is on her and her older sister. And my wife just unpacked and hand washed all the sexy lingerie from our honeymoon. And she still fits in all of it because she’s 5’9”, 125#, and a healthy c cup. So our Christmas present is we just got the “pregnancy fix” from the doctor so we can fuck like crazy now that the little one is doing okay and sleeping through the night. But hey, I’m glad you got some rewards points at Kohl’s.
December 19, 20196 yr I'd like to think I can pull off some of the high-waisted stuff with my sublime buttocks. I'm 6'1" but I only have 32-33" inseam so legs aren't my strong suit. I make up for it with my willingness for assplay. But hey, he called my marriage boring so I tried to redeem.
December 19, 20196 yr A cedar glider/ loveseat for the back porch and future beer/ wine drinking for us. SOB was pricey, but it’s what she wants.

November 29, 20214 yr I'm not big on getting gifts, but I do love shopping, and my girlfriends often ask me to pass along their wish list items to their husbands, so I thought one of you guys might want to take a look at what 30-40ish basic bitches are asking for this Christmas. For the hi-tech hottie the new iphone stainless steel apple watch band (bracelet or mesh) a legit power bank a mechanical keyboard Samsung frame tv a hotspot from a different carrier than the one she has service with For the outdoorsy gal these towels from her favorite national park are a neat memento as would be this scratch-off poster this incredible new book of photos from my friend Earl Nottingham's 30 year career as Texas Parks and Wildlife photographer trekking poles have been super clutch for me as my knees start hurting on descent whilst hiking a fancy hoodie butterfly garden kit For the workout warrior Theragun or knockoff these super soft and flattering vuori joggers for lounging nice socks like Feetures for a stocking stuffer or my favorite ski socks apple watch 6 has all the fancy health metrics (oxygenation, sleep, etc) apple+ subscription (or something similar) For the sexy librarian a new novel (Here i'm not much help as I have become extremely picky, really disliking the last several authors my friends have raved about like Kristin Hannah, Celeste Ng, Laura Dave, etc. The last book I remember recommending was The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and it was more that the premise was innovative and interesting and less that I was like, 'Wow this is a really great book.' I reread some classics with my kids in high school last year like Adventures of Huck Finn, Little Women, and Native Son and it made me regret every other book I've read lately. George Saunders's Tenth of December is several years old, but I really enjoyed that collection of short stories. a first edition of a beloved book a subscription to a magazine like NYT, the Atlantic, or Texas Monthly a membership to the Story Bound Society, a book subscription curated by my favorite book shop, Fabled in Waco. (I would be the guardian profile.) For the foodie a new cookbook (My girlfriends and I all love The Defined Dish, she also has a new cookbook coming out right after Christmas you can preorder, Ina Garten's Modern Comfort Food, or a Jamie Oliver book would be good.) not a cookbook but any foodie will love Gastro Obscura. a treat from Goldbelly (note that many restaurants, like Snow's bbq, ship directly themselves. and that's a better choice if available) an expensive olive oil or truffle oil a subscription to NYTCooking or Fine Cooking a nice cutting board For the fashionista a gift card to House of Colour to find out what her best colors are (this is a lot of fun and actually a great investment and can save money by teaching her what looks best, not an MLM a real franchise) a Dyson hair dryer Ugg slippers an everyday pendant to wear (inexpensive, moderate, expensive, wow) Note: if you're gonna spend >$100 i would invite your special lady friend to shop with you. No one will be disappointed to hear "let's go find something sparkly." For anyone something sweet or sentimental, personal to her (like a Cameo from Jared Butler, or a Cowtown Clay mail order kit, or a custom ornament with her childhood home) a weighted blanket a pretty planter with plant a graphic t-shirt patio lights or a fire pit eberjey pajamas a masterclass subscription the perfect t-shirt
