Question Christmas Gifts

I'm tired of buying Christmas, Birthday, and Anniversary Gifts. As the years have passed, it seems there is nothing that I really want that's within reason and more importantly, there is certainly nothing that I need. To that end, I need help buying Christmas gifts for Constance. In the past seven years I have purchased some of everything. My creativity is gone - given out - depleted - used. What are you buying your mate this year????? Hell, I don't even know what I want.

You walked into this one... All jewelry is nice... Doesn't matter, but it should light her wrist, finger, neck, ears or head...

And Overstock.com has plenty of items. And if you are a USAA member, you get deep discounts ~20%. And there's a beautiful Canary they are selling... At a discount... Only $19K vs. $23K...

Nah, if you want a nice gift, a beautifully written card with your own sentimental poetry is nice. Then an act of loving-kindness to compliment would make her feel special... An exciting weekend of something? A wine? Something you dislike doing, but will do for her--i.e. watching a chick-flick?

What am I getting my hunny-do? I thought about an XBox 360, but he said he didn't want one...

I know the way to his heart is through his stomach... So, I probably will do something like that... Or I may plan a snowshoeing activity...

No significant other but spa days are always nice or a weekend getaway to a bed and breakfast in combination with spa day.

Be sure it's a full body wrap and massage. No Brazilians or Extendeds... That would just ruin the weekend.

I like this Soror - I thought about something like a "coupon booklet", something that Prof can make up himself. You know, something like "This coupon is good for/entitles you to ______________"; as Soror Monet said, something that you dislike doing, but that she would be estatic that you were thoughtful enough to do just for her.

You'll be pleased with the presents you'll get in return.

I'm single, but I'm going to Niagra Falls in a week with a lady friend. I think it would be cool for the holidays too. Not sure how far you are from Niagra Falls, if not I think that would be really cool. Sometimes the water isn't frozen.

I think that the best gift to get someone is a gift card. I know that I am giving out lots of them. It saves time in the stores and it lets people get what they want.

Christmas Gift

The best gift I would give him he has already received-when God miraculously answered my prayers for him to prosper him financially, socially, and emotionally, and God Blessed him in his business three weeks ago!









Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
