" Real men put off shopping until Dec. 24"
That's where the deals are.
If my hubby HAS to wait until the last minute to buy me a gift, diamonds would be work just fine!
One of my daughters who is patiently waiting for "the big question" would love to know this. Although I would have to say a diamond with a WalMart tag probably wouldn't quite cut it, ya know?
you wanna ping my husband ?
"Because at that point, the only alternative is a Chia Pet from the 7-Eleven."
LOL!
Hubby is not like this, he is actually finished before me this year. I just hope I can get done.
My job really makes me hate December every year. I think I need a new job.
Merry Christmas AD! Your posts are always enjoyed by me.
Well we can't put off shoping till December 24th this year. There too many good football games on that day. LOL!
Ah, an early shopper.
If only women were goal oriented shoppers...
I go shopping and usually know exactly what I want to get before I get there. If they don't have it I'm usually lost. In fact, I get a dazed look on my face and wander around trying to wrap my mind around the fact that the store is out of stock of the one thing I drove all the way out to get.
Oh well.. At least most malls have a nice bar or two as a Plan B. ;-)
I do not shop in malls, but I guess I'm a "girlie man" on account of my doing a lot of online purchases and special ordering a custom piece of jewelry for my wife the day before Thanksgiving.
I just refuse to buy any jewelry for my wife that any other guy could buy for his. My wife is too good for mass-produced trinkets.
Diamonds are worthless and will be even more so in the future.
The companies Gemesis and Apollo Diamond, which are in the USA, have technology to produce 1-carat diamonds for less than $150 each.
Apollo Diamond could manufacture diamonds for $5 a carat.

I have waited for the last minute many times and have never turned into a diamond or any other mineral for that matter.
I am not quite sure what reaction the average woman would have to wake up o Christmas morning and find her husband is now a big ol' diamond.
Have you ever noticed that the smaller the wedding ring, the longer it stays on the finger? A word of advice for single men: If she is into fine jewelry, and thinks you should care, run like the wind. She'll bring you nothing but greif.
Yes, I know this from experience. :)
I used to live by Michigan ave in Chicago. A cab ride and fast movement through stores on Dec 24 could get gifts for 12 people done and gift wrapped beautifully in about 3 hours. That's power shopping!
Pussies put crap off they don't like doing until the last minute, then do what the De Beers Cartel has paid the Washington Times to tell them to do.
Real men buy their wives a new Glock because they know black goes with everything, they've been selective in choosing their women, and they know the "ice" should be for beer.
I love men.
They're hunters.
I remember in the first years of our marriage, my husband and I agreed not to get each other Christmas presents. Imagine my shock and sorrow when we woke up Christmas morning and he had presents under the tree from me...but not a single gift from him to me. I was crushed. It was one of our most memorable fights.
"A lot of times you can guilt them into spending more," she said.
Using 'guilt' as a verb! That there is a dangerous woman!
