This has been my experience too. If you agree to not buy things for one another, she will get you something anyway. I think I got caught out once - never again.

Well, we are going out for our anniversary dinner Sat night so I think I am probably safe until Sun. morning at least. I am also sending flowers to her office tomorrow from her favorite florist. That should earn some points as well.

Eeeeexcellent!


Addendum:
Regarding the whole "lets not get anything for each other" thing, if you go for that you will need one of THESE

(For those of you wondering that is an M1 tank with a mineroller.)

And yet another update -

2 1/2 year old is running a 102-degree fever, so cancelled dinner and artwalk. Grilled steaks at home and are currently watching "Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were Rabbit" for the 500,000th time!

Wife loves the jewelry box though!

A vanity mirror, made of fine wood, is a lovely present.

...but this thread reminds me of a funny story I heard Walter Williams tell. He got his wife a pair of golf shoes for Christmas so she could more safely wash his car when it was freezing outside!

Otherwise, you may be stuck running down to the gas station for a box of snacks and a windshield wiper when all the stores are closed.

LOL!!
