Well you haven’t been a Freeper for very long, but I bet that you have been married a very long time to a happy lady.
Bwhahahahaahaha! The old ones have blood evidence on them er, got dirty.
My strategy has always been to go at the Last Minute.
You don’t waste a lot of time Shopping.
And, it gets done because it HAS to get done.
Of course, now, I do ALL my shopping on the Internet.
Indeed.
Females like baubles. Dunno why. They just do.
So I often find myself buying baubles for them...
Golux’s Rules for casual (Hannukkah and Christmas) giving:
1. Never, ever, but EVER give toys that a) make noise or b) require batteries to children. It is a rude thing to do to their parents.
2. Socks really are a perfectly good gift to give a fellow man. Especially work socks or gold-toes. Real men like high-quality, practical things.
3. Women appreciate your NOT foisting your tastes upon them. High-quality olive oil? Some non-perfumed handmade facial soaps? (ANYTHING perfumed is a no-no.) A modest assortment of high-quality chocolates? All winners.
The End.
I know I’m in the minority, but my husband loves to shop (online these days) and has done all of the Christmas shopping since we got married 27 years ago. His dad did it when he was a kid, so I guess that’s where he got it from. He also does all the cooking, including for Christmas. Right now he’s in the kitchen making cookies to send to his 93 year old mother. How in the world did I find this guy, lol? I think I’ll keep him!
I was thinking of giving her a full set of camo bedding, with flounces, shams, the whole bit.
But now, I’m not so sure.
