Have any idea on what type of holster you'll get for her? Or that she wants?

My wife will want one that's good for running/jogging. I imagine we'd also get another one that she feels comfortable carrying when we are out and about.
...I saw one online that is great to wear with pants and really breaks up the outline of the gun & it also has a space in the back to carry 1 extra magazine so I might go that route for her birthday....or just more amo! LOL

I learned my lesson last year and bought my wife a gun without having her test it out prior, that was a mistake. The one I bought for her last year is one of the guns I carry now because she didn't like it, thank god I didn't get a pink one. I have friends and their wives over once a month to shoot (personal range on my property) and my wife would test out the ladies guns. As mentioned before range time is key. She found the one she liked so this year I bought her the correct gun, a Walther PPS. My daughter on the other hand was alot easier to buy for. She can fire my Kahr PM 45 which is a small .45 that is small enough to carry in my pocket and had no problems with the recoil at eleven years old, I was impressed. I'm guessing the Walther P22 in Angel Blue that I got my daughter will be just fine.

She has one for 2014 and 2015 as well. I have gotten a few things from her lists and they have gone over well.

i understand running out of ammo is never a good thing but carring a holster/ ammo is a lot
an extra mag carried in a single mag holder is easy to have option on carring or not depending on what you're doing and where you're going.

Got mine an Echo Show and will pay their Amazon Music subscription (well, I'll upgrade us to a family plan and add them to it). They already have a regular Echo and like it so I figured the Show would be nice. They can move the Echo to the garage and use it as an intercom.

I'm sure your dad will love the fact that your mom can contact him in the garage at any time.

Something to help others, the wife and I got thur Samaritan Purse my three daughters and five grandkids each a goat.
They will get other gifts but this Samaritan Purse Goat program looked to be a useful way of giving.

I got my mom two hoodies, but I'm clueless for my stepdad, dad and stepmom.

I have my little sister in our sibling gift exchange. Not sure what to get her either, lol.

I have three nieces and a nephew and they're all getting clothes of some kind. I try to alternate between toys, books and clothing for birthdays and Christmas and it's a clothes year.

My husband will buy the gifts for his parents. Usually tools for his dad and books, candles, coffee mugs or other little stuff like that for his mom.

I don't think my husband and I are exchanging anything this year. We have to have our main sewer line replaced next week, our central air stopped working at the end of the summer, and we also need a new fridge, smh. Yay homeownership.

As far as my own list, I'd really like Cedar Point pass. But we might try to have a baby sometime soonish, so it would be a waste if I get knocked up and can't ride anything. So nevermind.

My mom actually told me what she wanted this year, so it is easy. My dad on the other hand tells me to just get an amazon gift card smh. I don't mind getting or giving gift cards, but if there are two people I prefer not to do that for it would be my parents. They have no sentimental value.

Didn't have anything exciting on my list but we got our 4 year old a remote controlled Optimus Prime that transforms from truck to robot form with the push of a button. Cat's ass toy. Pretty pumped.

Everyone in my family with the exception of my daughter (3) and niece (11) are over the age of 26. So this is the first Christmas where we've all decided not to do presents. The past few years we've drawn names and bought someone a $25, $50, and $75 present, but even that seemed pointless.

We're actually doing the same thing with birthdays next year which is refreshing because my immediate family is large (13 of us) so every month we're buying a different birthday present. And while getting birthday presents is nice, it's certainly not that important to me anymore. I think I still have an Amazon gift card from my birthday in July I haven't used.

The better half is getting an exceptionally fine ring, and deservedly so.

I was going to buy the wife a new refrigerator but my mom asked if she could buy it for us. Looks like I'm getting a new gun.

my kids bought us a Nest Sercurty System .. That was something I was thinking about getting.. They just helped the process
Another suggestion is a nice Safe. I bought a Liberty about $750.00 good idea .. We feel better knowing our personal items are locked up an bolted to the floor

A toaster oven is still my wife’s favorite of the presents I’ve bought her, minus the rings.

I took stock of my list tonight. I'm asking for 9 books, a router (wood, not internet) and an Echo Spot.
