Get her jewelry.

It’s a trap

Life is funny, like that…

Danger,Will Robinson! Next she’ll ask if her outfit makes her look fat.

Get her a cookbook that has MEAT recipes in it !!

Surely, with all the crap she’s had to throw out, she’d have learned.

Didn’t know it was Christmastime already!

Happy first day of winter.

God, it’s like talking to my wife: “Which outfit do you like, this one or that one?” “That one.” “Well, what’s the matter with this one?”

Money is tight, please tell me what you would like. “Why do I have to tell you, YOU LIVED WITH ME FOR 30 years!”

Well you did say in the spring you liked those corn brooms from the market. So I bought her one.

Oh, boy. I made the mistake of listening to my wife when she said the same thing early on in our marriage.

Better return the car with the big bow on top.

Find a “Exploring Quinoa Cookbook”.

My life last month: “we don’t need to get anything for each other. Maybe just this one shared gift.” My wife yesterday: “well, I wouldn’t mind a few surprises.” Only three more days before Christmas. I better get moving.

Be careful what you wish for, Andy.

Don’t fall for it. You get your partner a nice watch and then she buys you the Taj Mahal.

Mine is different, fall of 2019, husband done with one hospital before going to another hospital, which 2nd hospital required surgery, I told him Christmas day he was my Christmas gift because he was here. The two hospitals two different health issues, same with surgery had nothing to do with other health issue, yet the first hospital there was clashing of his body. I was just grateful he survived and with me. My best Christmas.

Roger that…

Wait until next week when everything is on sale

If he hasn’t shopped for you yet—especially in 2002 or whenever this ran—you’re not getting anything fancy anyway.

Ah yes. Have had that conversation before. Didn’t end well…
