Gentlemen ... there's a slightly cringe-worthy, but fully awesome solution to this problem. I too hate waking up Xmas morning to a department store button up shirt or another grill brush. So my solution was to load up my Amazon wish list with a whole bunch of hand-picked stuff that I "want" but don't "need." I then tell my family to surprise me from the list. If the list if long enough or things on it have been there for a while, the gift can still be a great surprise. Just be sure to replenish when it gets low. I got my parents to do this and my mother has selected and received things like frying pans and panini makers from me. She claims to love the idea.

We’ve done similar ^^. The mrs’s family just publishes their own wish lists; no amazon needed. I grew up in the smile-at-whatever-shows-up-in-the-box-and-like-it method. The wish list system is way better. You don’t always complete the list, but stuff at least comes from it. You make sure to include a range of cost items. I always throw ridiculous stuff on there too, like a 5 series bmw (which sometimes results in a matchbox car in my stocking)

The only problem with it is the wife has no idea how to find the deals on the stuff I like and has no qualms just getting stuff at full retail.

Any male considering marriage should read this entire thread.

It should also be a sticky.

Oh yeah, my wife would wipe the lenses of expensive sunnies with coarse paper towels or cloth and wonder why they got scratched or cloudy.

Tell her you need a beer bong and a stripper pole. You're on a patio run! Use your luck!

No, titties are why they get away with that shit.

**El Chupacabra** · 06-05-2020, 03:18 PM

No outdoor rugs. But there is a Captain Morgan adirondack chair!

And we’re the idiots who marry them for their titties in the first place.

Everything comes full circle.

I don’t even know what we’re talking about at this point.

Based on your posts, your wife's titties must be incredible.

To the OP - what's love got to do with it

Oh man... I have a bunch of sunglasses and I baby them. 30 years wearing contacts has fucked my eyes to the point that I can't be outside without glasses or my eyes catch on fire. Enter Ms Boissal and her drawer full on sunglasses jumbled on top of their protective cloth bags. She'll grab a pair, usually by the lens, put it on, and go. Fingerprint, grease spots, scratches, she couldn't care less. Every time I get a chance I steal the glasses she's wearing and clean them. She always tells me she can't notice the difference. I honestly think that in a pinch she'd use slices of freshly cooked bacon or sandpaper to clean her lenses, and that's assuming they are entirely covered in mud and she can't see ANYTHING through them. If there's a pinhole that lets some light through she's good to go. Drives me bonkers.

We have a joint Amazon list. It's ever expanding with her items but the few things I've put on there have disappeared rather quickly. The ones that remained are things we can both use. Wonder why that would be...
