There's a very popular jewelry maker in DC (her name escapes me), and I purchased the same pin for my wife for Christmas last year. I bought it for her, because I saw a picture of Sarah Palin wearing it.
This year, she's getting a gift card for a couple of her favorite stores. After 25+ years of marriage, I've kind of thrown in the towel. She hardly wears that pin, and I proudly gave it to her after searching for it from that picture of Sarah. lol
You’re a good husband! I think that is a very creative gift and you took the time to provide something special (applause to you!). If you haven’t guessed it, I’m a woman :-)
I’ve noticed that the past few years, my sister and BIL buy a few things for each other, then give a gift card for Macy’s, Nordstroms, Sports Authority, etc. I know from watching my parents, it gets harder to purchase for a spouse over the years. The worst mistake my stepdad ever made was going to a store (IIRC Nordy’s) described my Mom to the sales clerk and brought home a beautiful outfit - - only problem was, it was a size 14 and she wore a size 8 at the time. She was cool in the way she handled it. He vowed never to purchase clothes for her again - LOL!
Think her name is Ann Hand.
During the 1996 presidential campaign, wearing the pin “became a symbol for women who were supporting the president,” said Lewis. She worked on women’s outreach issues back when she was deputy campaign manager and director of communications for the Clinton-Gore re- election campaign.
** I also remember Cindy McCain wearing one & reading some blog/article that claimed its not an Eagle but a Phoenix..symbol of the Illuminati/New World Order. The blog stated this proved the McCains are closet Clinton supporters. Makes sense!
