    yikes..should have confirmed that gift

    But it was going to be such a nice surprise!

    Of course, now that I stormed upstairs, pulled the giant box out from the back of the closet, stomped back downstairs and dumped it on the couch beside him, saying "merry fucking Christmas" the surprise is a bit less, um, festive.

    perfect!!!

    and i'll bet he was still surprised

    I love you for this. We are kindred souls, I tell you :)

    Well, I say you're off the hook with his gift.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Wow, Jeanwah, that is such a marvelously tempting line, but I will refrain... must refrain... must refrain...
    No, he's not. He wouldn't do that, he's really quite sincere. Just short-sighted.

    At the end of the day he'll end up keeping the one I bought him, I'm quite certain. I'm not getting him anything else.

    :lol: I've been doing that a lot lately, with the sexual innuendos. Totally not on purpose!

    I agree, December isn't about buying stuff for yourself.

    And I'm with you Unlost, I would have reacted the same way. And I wouldn't get him any accessories for it - he bought it, he's on his own. Is it a guy thing? I don't mean to start a sexist argument here, but I know Christmas usually brings out the worst in my husband - two years ago he gave me a microwave. And we already had a microwave, he thought I'd like a new one. Guess what? He was wrong.

    I got a bathroom heater from my husband a couple years ago. When I opened it he says "It's the gift that keeps giving!" Yeah. Uh-huh.

    Ouch. A friend of mine almost got whacked over the head with the blender he gave his wife. Fortunately he was able to convince her to look inside where he had put a ring. Maybe you should check the microwaves for jewellry ;)

    I'm giving a snuggie as a grab bag gift. I understand that I'll probably be the one stuck with it in the end. :lol:

    My husband is usually very creative (none of that perfume, candles, soap stuff for me) but he was really really busy two years ago and I have a psychologist friend that says sometimes when men panic about what to get a woman - they choose appliances. My friend said it's actually fairly common.

    I'm a little nervous cause he's working again this year thru Christmas Eve. I'm guessing - a toaster?

    Ha ha - maybe it's a Snuggie.

    I think I can picture The Enkidu Family 2011 Christmas Card... there they all are in their Snuggies! At the littlest Enkidu's (the Enkidulette's?) soccer game, all doing The Wave in their matching Snuggies. In the team's colors, of course.

    Snuggies are a great idea for a card - it's funny cause I just addressed a Christmas card to you, as another thank you for the SS gift. It's not Snuggies, but it's pretty funny. We've been doing crazy cards for a long time and another part of that tradition is they come really really late, because we usually take the photo over the Christmas holiday.

    That's brilliant.

    I tried to get this for my husband for Christmas - the tiger version. But it's sold out. (It's a joke - I don't know if I can explain it - we were in San Francisco about a month ago and got in an elevator with a man wearing a skintight tiger costume and a studded collar. And there was a man behind the tiger guy holding a leash attached to the collar and he was "blind" and had a white cane. They were very nice, but it was very strange, oh duh.)

    I've just read your thread and I'm having a similar moment. But I did not blow up- we were out doing last minute shopping, but I so wanted to. I held in the disappointment of a great gift dashed, but I so wanted to let it out. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

    lol- I still have a few days to think of something else...maybe
