I was going to answer, but on the slim chance she might read this somehow, I will defer until she has opened it. I will have a beer ready for her, a brown flavored with Irish Cream extract. It tasted damn good at bottling time.

My wife shops for herself. I bought her a nice card, but she bought some jewelry from QVC. After the new year we will get a new digital camera, so I guess that will be a present for both of us.

My wife & I have already had our Xmas for each other. Last month, we spent almost 17K remodeling our basement, getting it furnished, etc. It might take care of next Xmas too!!!

I dared to do what most men will not. I bought my wife clothes for Christmas, if I don't post after the first of the year it probably means she has murdered me and hidden the body. :)

I got her a new camera bag and encouragement for her photography hobby.

We also got each other a New Year's trip to Toronto...

I did the same Jeff. I got her scrapbooking supplies too. So, if she does not like the clothes, the scrapping stuff should save me. Not only that, I validated her hobby in the process.

Now that she has opened it, I can talk. I gave her a necklace with a stone to match her engagement ring. It was the second time around for both of us. Since we we both tight on funds and being second time we decided to skip the diamond route. I got her a piece of estate jewelry with an aquamarine stone. Now she has a necklace to match. She gave me a mixed sixer of Brooklyn brewery, Blue Moon, and Smutty Nose.

Very nice Wort. My 10th Anniversary was Nov. 27th. I gave my wife a 2 caret diamond ring. I figured She deserved it for putting up with me for 10 years.

I got my wife a digital camera for Christmas. It was supposed to be for taking pictures of our travels, but it is now for taking pictures of our first child that will be arriving in August. No pressure:D

She got for me, however, a new kegerator! This is why I married her.

Cheers

Congrats to Stodbrew and wife!!

I gave my man new pyjamas and set of Marx Brothers' DVDs. I got a bit embarrased when I got a greally good digital camera from him...
Well, I guess I have to be extra super nice to him next year :D

Thanks again Chaz, Summer and Brewmonkey. It's amazing how you can be incredibly scared and excited at the same time. Time for a beer.

Cheers!

I am not married, but was laughing with girl friend last night. She got me a variety of pints from "paint store" and three books.
One was a How to Brew book, one is Michael Jackson's Beer styles (or something like that), and the other was a new Bible. Two beer books and a Bible. We thought that was funny after we realized what she had done.
It is evident we live in southern bible belt.

i got my wife a digital camera (seems to be popular on this board) and a trip to the day spa thingy, european facial, perdicure, manacure, massage that kind thing even took care of the tip. i bought a gift certificate and put it in a huge box and wrapped it.

I like the spa thing. I am definitely getting a massage when I am in Las vegas later this week.
