UH OH
We all could get in a lot of trouble with this idea. I have enough trouble thinking on my own, but with other car guys in the mix.  :-X

I'm one of the lucky ones, she gives me a list.  There are certain things that appear on it every year and I make sure they are under the tree!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I am with Ghost on this, I don't want people I don't even know hating me :-X
Anyway we kind of stopped giving each other gifts years ago, we concentrate on the boys. Even though we agree not to buy for each other, one or two things still find their way under the tree, but nothing big.

I will, however, be happy to give suggestions for your better halves: new Escalade, Hope diamond, island in the Bahamas, trip around the world.........just saying.

From the beginning, well pretty much mid 60s, Even before we were married we set a limit on what we spent on presents. Above that we are both people who like practical gifts the best. Things that can be enjoyed every day. She also makes a list. If either of us wants or needs something big we just go get it. She just got a new Jeep. Seriously $20 dollars worth of flowers go a long way with this woman. She does not want more trinkets to dust, polish or lose. Our lives are full and a few thoughtful presents make us happy. A book, a DVD of a favorite movie, A set of DVDs from a TV series, Gloves, ear muffs, make her happy. It takes a lot of stress out of the Holidays.  8)
