What is everyone getting for their ball and chain this year?? We are going to Mexico in Feb. so I thought we had agreed on that being our present to eachother this year. Turns out she's bought me a few things. Damn her!!!!!! Now i'm in a pinch! Ideas?

Kind of the same boat i'm in. She claims she bought the stuff for me this summer before we booked our trip.

I went to a Coopershawk when I was in Arlington Hts outside of Chicago that was a restaurant/winery. Same thing? I didn't realize it was a chain.

It's like buying a gift for myself, the money comes from the same place. It'd be like you giving your gf your credit card then saying for her to buy you a present.

Instead of gifts we treat ourselves to nights out.

Eh, we typically don't either. We'd rather spend it buying more on my son and our family. When we want something through the year, we buy it. So its kinda hard buying for each other anyways.

It is difficult getting her stuff for Christmas and we do pretty much just get whatever we want throughout the year. However I know damn well if I don't get her something, I probably will be cut off from the sects for a few days!!!

I would love to get her a keurig but she's not a coffee drinker. They are sweet though!

If it's "too hard to buy" things for a female the real translation is you're just lazy. Shopping for a female may be the easiest thing in the world. They're typically pumped about anything. There is an unbelievable selection of relatively cheap, yet worthy gifts. And let's be honest, you can just buy her some clothes and if she doesn't like them or they don't fit (in other words, spend about 10 minutes picking shit out), save the receipt and she has a shopping spree.
