    SwoLy-D, there's no need for jealousy. I won't return your wife to you with any more diseases than she arrived with.

    OK. Don't, but I'm not being jealous, man, I just don't want YOUR STDs. Also, why would I be jealous of you? :confused:

    Honest to goodness, I don't want to be a manwhore.

    Any thrifty yet clever gift ideas?

    My wife wanted to set a $100 dollar limit for eachother, since we now have children to buy for.

    I already used a groupon to get clothing, which cost 25 bucks, so I have 75 left.

    This is much harder than i thought it would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated and repped, of course.

    I spent about $100 on a silver necklace just last week on amazon. There are some pretty good deals on necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The reviews and comments are helpful to consumers in determining whether an item is really worth it's value or not. Good luck!

    I wouldn't get a gift card. I know every guy wants to take the easy way out and thinks it's the best way to let them pick something they want out but women don't think to highly of gift cards from spouses.

    Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode:

    ELAINE: Cash?

    JERRY: Would do you think?

    ELAINE: You got me cash?

    JERRY: Well this way I figure you can go out and get yourself whatever you want. No good?

    ELAINE: Who are you, my uncle?

    You have to listen closely and pick up on what she really wants or needs but doesn't want to spend the cash on herself. Otherwise just shop for something that reminds you of her.

    Personally I love having a limited budget Christmas. Our first Christmas was a limited budget Christmas and those cheap, special items are proudly displayed today...22 years later. While all the unlimited budget items are put away, given away or just forgotten.

    A lot of women will be giving their men cologne this x-mas.

    Brad Pitt = Chanel No5 = Fantasize they are sleeping with Brad via smell

    It’s not a journey. Every journey ends but we go on.
    The world turns and we turn with it. Plans disappear. Dreams take over.
    But wherever I go, there you are. My luck, my fate, my fortune.
    I am your man. And, your man is me. Close your eyes...and believe.

    ;)

    I consider a Dyson a legit gift. All women are different, so your wife may really want something like that for Christmas, but depending on remaining budget, I'd probably have a small jewlry gift to also give her.

    I got my wife a laptop, despite her saying she wanted a vacuum.

    I also bought a vacuum, but didn't give it to her as a gift.

    Some women do want gift cards, especially when it comes to clothes. Granted I always buy my wife something that blows her away. She gets mad that I always know everything she wants, even when she doesn't, and she never has any idea what to get me.

    There is your pass on the GC then. I know that some women may like it because it gives them a reason to shop but if all you got your wife or if the main/big gift is the GC..."What did your hubby get you for Christmas...a $50 gift card at Macy's"...ouch...

    GC can be ok filler presents but given the cash constraints, either the GC would be the "big" gift or it would be for a such a small amount that it won't buy much more than a pair of gloves on sale at a good store.

    That's exactly what I deal with. I listen to what she wants for months leading up to Christmas and her birthday (in April). I get her exactly what she wanted. From her, I get a water pik with the "I didn't know what to get you and you once said you wanted that." I might have indeed said that I wanted that particular dental device...BUT NOT AS MY HANUKKAH GIFT?!

    I got her a 1958 Fender 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and Fender brownface reverb tank that was made around 1964-65. I'm also looking for a SG/Les Paul Jr. from 1962-1964, but I'm not sure I can safely swing it financially before Christmas.

    My wife rocks harder than your wife.
