Oh, yeah, probably some movies too.

My wife hates shopping for me because I generally have everything I want or need.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I just bought her a waterproof iPod case a few weeks ago. Probably should've made that a Christmas gift too.

tell her to get a bow (do not use word big) and tie it around herself

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Ah, yes, I remember another that didn't make the cut last year -- a Le Creuset dutch oven. I just need to figure out what size. Color is easy -- cobalt blue.

We also need a new knife set but I don't think I can give that to her for Christmas.

I told her one year to just make a donation in my name to some kids Christmas toy charities. She thought I was nuts at the time, but this year, we're going to adopt a family.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I think a 6 3/4 quart dutch oven is probably enough, but I'll need to go shopping with her once and lead her past them to see the sizes of the ones she points out.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I'd like to get her a laptop and still might, but I think that I can buy her more gifts without buying her the laptop and then let her pick her own laptop to buy later.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I'll probably look at travel books too or maybe just give her a Kindle gift card as well. She loves to read Rick Steves books and I bought her 3 last year for Christmas.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Now, as for other family members, I think I may just buy something for my youngest brother and something for my other brother's kid. Or maybe just for the kid. I'll have to think about it.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

What are you guys doing for Christmas gifts this year?

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I enjoy the holidays -- mainly for the time away from work. I also enjoy our annual NYE party but I think we may not have one this year.

Wow my oc thread...

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Pros for having NYE party:

-- Lots of fun
-- Lots of awesome food
-- One time of the year I really get drunk and have a great time

Cons:

-- Lots of work
-- Lots of expense
-- Guests are cheap and don't appreciate it

 

[IndyColtsFan]

A con of NOT having it is that one of my wife's annoying friends might decide to have one and I'd get stuck going.

Halloween party

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Seriously, my wife has some annoying (and really cheap friends). Allow me to provide a summary:

1. One brought 2 bottles of wine to NYE last year. They weren't used, so she asked if she could take the more expensive bottle home and left us with a cheap $3 wine. WTF? We provided nearly all the food and booze.

2. Another friend is the most annoying person I have ever met. Anyway, a couple years ago, she and her husband came to watch a Colts playoff game at my house. Granted, I didn't like this girl before, but she shows up dressed in a Colts jersey (Dallas Clark) and professes to be a "hardcore" Colts fan. It turns out, she knew nothing about football and only had a Dallas Clark jersey because she thought he was "cute." She kept asking stupid questions ("How many downs do they get?") the ENTIRE game and afterwards, I told my wife she was NEVER inviting them over again during football season.

Halloween party

Still wouldn't save me from getting invited to a NYE party at one of her annoying friend's houses.

In my story above, the "Colts fan" and her husband recently bought a house and had a housewarming party. I refused to go and told my wife she could go by herself. I hate that friend that much. She is the dumbest and most pretentious person I've ever met.

 

[sdifox]

They're women, so I would say no.

You are probably right :'(

 

[IndyColtsFan]

My wife just needs a new set of friends. I told her that when she finds new friends, I should vet them first.

Lunch time. I need a gift idea too damn it
