Travis it will come to you. What worked for me for YEARS was " Christmas is today, heck I'll double your presents next year". The problem is all the years have caught up to me. So I've spent all the money we had before Christmas and we are broke. So my excuse this year is " Honey we are broke ". Worked for me. Now what about next year. Better start planning right. :p

I got my wife a digital keychain and a digital picture frame. I also bought her another part to her willow tree figurine collection like I do every year. I know she keeps hinting at something shiny but she has already lost the last necklace and earrings I have bought her so I have told her no more shiny things for a few years.........

I attempted to surprise Kathy by locating a hard to find gift.

Out of dozens of phone calls and emails, I finally got an email back that they had what I was looking for.

So I call them. Get an answering machine, so I say:

"Hi, this is Patrick McSwain, you email'd me saying you have what I'm looking for. Call me at 951 270 0808 so I can buy one. DO NOT discuss the product with Kathy. She is who answers the phone, and is who the gift is for. If she answers, say you need to talk to Pat about a turbocharger and she will hand me the phone. DO NOT say what company you are with."

So the phone rings 15 minutes later and the guy tells Kathy. :mad:

I chewed him out when I got the phone, but I still needed what he was selling, so I bought it anyhow.

Man that just SUCKS... The surprise is half the damn gift!!

That would have flat pissed me off as well.

Doesn't anyone listen anymore?

I spose you'll have to go with the big RV for pure shock value?

Merry x-mas McRat Family.:)

Here is one for you. My parents never surprise each other. They say each other are to difficult to shop for so they just take each other shopping. One year for x-mas my dad drove 100 mile into Washington to buy her a painting they had looked at every time they ate at this place. When he got there someone else had bought it just before he got there. He was so mad. When she got home he told her he was going to get it for her and she opened the suburban, and she was the one who bought it. Talk about dumb luck!!!
