That’s really cool. Who’s the artist/where can I find this?

You think there’s a secret thread somewhere of our wives furious at how thoughtful and specific we get at giving gifts to people we’ve never met… while they get a taylor swift blanket and those 2 things they told us we had to get them.

In our (my) defense. I am constantly told (by my spouse) that I am hard to shop for when it comes to birthdays or Christmas.

I don’t think you would be hard to shop for just book you a couple hours in the sim and set up a bouncer to make sure no one bothers you

I’ve heard that like three times already this year lol. Even though we decided we’re not doing gifts this year since we basically treat ourselves to our specific stuff we like and went on a trip instead.

My inlaws like to give my wife and I joint birthday presents (were 3 weeks apart) sometimes it’s a product. A couple times it’s been tickets to a show, with my in laws, that they want to see.

New toilet for the downstairs bathroom over here, got her a Home Depot gift card and wrapped it with a roll of TP.

I’m big on giving a gift card to a spa or salon or things of that nature but always make sure there is something physical to open on Christmas Day.

What I’ve learned (may or may not apply to your situation) from my wife™ is that the main thing is that if you have something to open from her on actual Christmas (or whenever you exchange gifts) that she also wants something to open as well. This can be a small as a card with a well written note, or maybe slightly bigger depending on what your budget is.

I’m gifting my wife™ cross country ski lessons in January, but I’m also making sure to make her a card and writing a note to her so she has something to react to and enjoy. It goes a long way.

Home Depot for a toilet is a rookie mistake.

You can try them all before you buy. Seems like a win.

Listen. A Toto Washlet is so much more than a toilet.
