Women change their minds so much it's best to wait till the last minute. That way you'll have a better chance of her still wanting that gift the next day. Once you see what she wants tho, you better not stop there. You'd best come up with something else that she never mentioned to top it.

Women think telepathy works. Guys just say: Gimme the list.
I suck at guessing games, guess that's why I'm single. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I did most of my shopping last night. Finished up this morning. God I hate this shit! I'm not going back out without a hand gun! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
To answer your question, I always get the wife at least one gift that I either make or work on (this year I found a nice iron plant stand that I blasted and painted)

Well sweetheart, if I was buying for YOU, I would not need a list to work from cuz gifts for hot rod guys are the easiest to buy. (in my opinion) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW, I am not only a power shopper but a good bargin hunter too, so not only could I purchase everything on your list in record time, but I'd get it all on sale to boot!

I used to wait till the 24th to go shopping. This year me and the wife are doing something a little different. We are going to wait till after Christmas and take eachother out shopping for our gifts. Everyone else is taken care of, also gets us out together for a day.

I'm just trying to asses whether this is a "normal" guy thing or if there really is senitive males out there.

Tinbender, so you making her something means you've thought about what she might like and want and have planned this for quite a while. Good for you, I'm impressed. Your wife is a lucky lady.

Denise, Did you happen to mention to Santa about needing a top for BIG OLDS?
As for me I usually take no more than a day to do my shopping. I try to remember the HINTS that have been dropped and add my own twist to what I think someone (wife) wants. After almost 40 yrs. I can just about read her mind.

12-24-2003, 04:23 PM

i've learned that if you ask for a "wish list"and basically listen to them tell you that they "would like this,but don't really need it cause it's to expensive"and get said item pointed at,plus all the other ones on the list,plus some other stuff they've pointed at in the sale ads,you usually make for a pretty nice christmas for them.......sound about right guys? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

HRLC, I finished shopping for my wife about 2-months ago. Been married for 38 years and never went Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving in all those years.

One year, I asked her what she wanted and she told me she didn't want anything, so that's what I got her.....nothing! Man, was she pissed. That was umpteen years ago and I STILL hear about it!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Oh, Yeah, and for you young guys, don't buy 'em anything that has to be plugged in, unless it vibrates a lot. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

With my ex wife, I'd get her what she asked for, pick out a few other cool things...and then she'd tell me I got the wrong color, size, style, etc...and the day after Christmas, she'd take it back, get the money and buy her family stuff...then bitch cuz she didn't get anything!

Anybody know where I can find Rhumba Panties for next year?

12-24-2003, 04:32 PM

Too early and I end up giving her the gift too soon cuz I can't wait and then I gotta shop again.

Waited till the 24th more than a few times - and found myself in the jewelry store looking for parachutes.
Parachutes in the form of jewelry.
She has ... lots of jewelry.
And likes it.

This year, I done good, got it all done about the 20th or so.
Cept it's all hidden in the roadster and I haven't wrapped it all yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Here's a little something I learned a long time ago.
Quoted from the Pinky book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Vince, the main protagonist in the book is with his cousin Janey....

We took off for town, Janey driving. I hadn’t ridden with her for a while, but she’d really gotten a handle on shifting gears. She was smooth and as good or better than any guy I’d ever ridden with. Kind of nice having a chauffeur even if it was a 49 Chevy pickup.

“So Vince, what kind of present were you thinking about getting her?”

“I saw a long sleeved pink sweater at Lerner’s that I thought she’d like.”

“What else?”

“A nice gold ring with an oval jade stone.”

“Well, you don’t need me along for this. I could have told you what to do at home.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You know what’s first on the hit parade as far as gifts for women are concerned?”

“Apparently not.”

“It’s real easy to remember. First is jewelry. We love it and you can’t go wrong buying us jewelry. It’s special and when you give it to us, you’re telling us something very special.”

“Sounds easy. What’s in second place?”

She laughed and said, “More jewelry. Remember that and your life with women will be much easier.”

A little life lesson from my own cousin....

My family is tough to buy for. When my daugthers were youngsters their Santa lists were finished by Thanksgiving, so it was just a process of winnowing until I'd reached the fiscal limits of gift giving. My once-wife was a bit more vague about her holiday wishes, so it was an ongoing game in which I almost invariably failed to guess right.

My late parents had a comfortable life so there was little I could do to enhance their joy or comfort, other than bringing their grandaughters around more often. My sister and her brood have likewise been blessed with success. Sweet spirit that she is, to lighten my financial burden, she decreed years ago that we would buy presents only for the children -- no adult gifts echanged. Then, of course, she'd would violate her rule and buy me something very special but presented in a manner so the gift was known only to her and her husband and to me.

As the youngsters grew into adults with real lives and careers of their own the buying of Christmas presents grew increasingly more difficult. My oldest has a career in the "rag trade" -- the clothing business. She's learned the biz from the ground up and and has worn most of the hats, from salesgirl to senior buyer. She's focused on being the corporate head who coordinates setup, training and personnel operations for 38 up-scale stores across the country. When she returns a phone call it's as likely to be from Conneticut or Michigan as it is from her office in her Los Angeles headquarters.

Kid sister is all about graphics. She's a pure creative spirit, so the revenue falls well short of the worth of her creative gifts. And it troubles her not in the least. Kid sister loves what she does. It makes her smile and giggle and sing as she works. And it affects family and friends in the same way. We're on a collective quest right now to help her launch her work and make it viable enough for her to continue to study and grow.

So, faced with such a collective gift-giving dilemma, I've opted for the dreaded gift card. A couple of decades ago a gift card was considered declasse, insensitive, boorish even. No loner is that the case, so say the marketeers.

Then my eldest daughter asked if a gift card seemed to me to be a crass gift, and I answered -- correctly -- not if it was acceptable to the recipient.

So, that's what I've done this year. I've purchaed gift cards for the entire family. I spent far more than I did in the last several years prior to this, but much of that is because I'm more compfortable to gift my family this year.

And now we've reached my answer to the gift-buying dilemma: Buy gift cards/certificates at appropriate providers and know that your gift recipients have gotten as a good a gift as if they'd chosen it themselves!

The very best holiday wishes for everyone, and pray for whirled peas . . .

I'm great with hints. I have some of that sensitivity crap left over from the 80's. This year my wife got tires. They probably won't fit though, and may have to go on the Five Window.. She also got alot of stuff I can probably use around the garage. Like an angle grinder. I saw the way she pretended not to notice it at the store. secretly I knew she wanted it. I notice those little things.. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sometimes it works ... sometimes it don't.

Bother-in-law bought sister a nice little 20 gage Remington 1100 auto shotgun for Christmas a few years back.
(They both shoot trap.)

He figured he'd use it to hunt upland game birds.

Sister never has let him use it....

It's kind of a tradition thing for me. Even if I decided during the year, I never buy it until Christmas eve and it always goes under the tree sometime during the night so she never gets to shake, squeeze or rattle it before the day.

[ QUOTE ]
Do you guys listen throughtout the year when hints are dropped or do you just run into the store buying whatever you see at the last minute, not gving any thought as to what might make her happy?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's kind of a stupid thing. A smart guy doesn't just take the hints on board, he's observant and takes mental notes throughout the year to make sure he's always got the perfect gift. Doesn't just apply to Christmas, and or birthdays either. There's no reason not to give a gift just for the sake of it or because it feels like the right thing to do on the spur of the moment.

The secret to getting the stuff you want from yer gal is to by all of her stuff FIRST get it wrapped and under the tree as soon as you can. Tell her you don't want anything for about a week or until she threatens to beat you or cut you off if you don't tell what you wait. Guilt has set in and now she will feel the need to go out of way to get you what you want.

Honestly, I had not meant for it to happen this way but that is how it has worked out this Xmas. I went out and bought both the wife and kid a shit load of stuff but only wrapped the wife's stuff. Basicly to torment the daughter and to insure that she would be "good" until Xmas http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. The wife would go out tonite and buy me a project and drag it home and put it under the tree right now to even the present score if she could. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A hint for you guys here, do not, repeat DO NOT repeat buy jewellery that been advertised in a catalogue or from a jewellery chain store. Go to a jeweller and make sure you get something that's unique or one off. Makes it just that little bit more special.

There's usually some kind of 'proffessional' gift wrapping service in most shopping centres during the Christmas period. Doesn't cost much and the proceeds usually go to charity, gift looks much better under the tree than my crappy wrapping and there's little or no risk of 'discovery' (accidental or otherwise) by the recipient.

When I first met my GF, she said her Ex-husband got her a toasteroven for Christmas... Said If I ever gave her an appliance for a Birthday or Christmas, she'd make sure I'd never father a child.

So all year when I hear "I need this, I need that" I ignore them.

Then go out and buy (less than a week before Christmas) what ever she pointed out last as "ohhh, I like that". If I do it earlier, and she wants to buy it for herself, I have to tell her what she's getting for Christmas.

Years ago I bought a 70 Sattellite. Parked it at the girlfriend's house and worked on it a bit every time I was there. Cammed up the 383, New tires and wheels, headers, double pumper, purple hornies, even painted it in the driveway. Girlfriend finally admitted being jelous of a car was dumb and started helping me work on it. She sewed up the interior all by herself while I was gone for a while to surprise me. Finally on Christmas eve we took it out for it's shakedown. After checking that everything worked and it stopped and went like it should, I pulled over and jumped out. I talked her into driving it and we ran all over town showing it off to her friends and mine with her driving. When we got back, she tried to give me back the keys and I said "Merry Christmas!" It's your car, you keep them. She said you've been planning this for months! I said, Yup! I don't have her anymore. We split up when I was overseas 1 too many times, but last I saw, she still had that car. Guess I got that one right.

I MADE everything for her this year , so it took a bit of preplanning , but I am still not done with everything yet so I still waited till the last minute too. it has been alot of fun though and I know that she will love it , better get back to work , she'll be home soon.

It is completely untrue that we all wait until 24 December to start shopping. I almost always start shopping on the 23rd. I will admit that this year I had to do all the shopping today. Old whatsername was out there with me; its a little tricky to shop for her while she is wandering around the mall at the same time.....but I got it covered.

12-25-2003, 05:06 AM

Funny how what goes around comes around. Last weekend I actually went shopping with my girls. I'd previoulsy seen something I liked in a certain specialty shop at the same centre, so sorta dragged 'em in to show them the neat stuff in that store. I was a bit pissed to find that the one item I had really realy liked had been sold.

Guess what I unwrapped this morning?

From another perspective, I was reminded again today that sometimes ya don't hafta shop at all for the really neat gift. I reckon I gave the best gift I think I ever gave anybody today. For months now I've been priming my 3 year old nephew with Hotwheels and hot rod magazines. Then today after lunch we went cruizin in the '33 just me and Mitch. We got into trouble for being away too long but man the little fella was laughin' and talkin all the way there and back was worth all trouble in the world.

Best part was when his family got into thier car to leave. He's strapped into his seat in the back and yells out, "See ya uncle hot rod!" Man that was just way too cool!

i buy very little for people on the 'designated' holidays. christmas, you probably get some chocolate or something, birthdays i usually try to get something to show i remember and care, but mothers day, fathers day, and especially my all-time most HATED hallmark event VALENTINES... you don't get squat.

it's just a marketing event concocted by corporate-suits wanting you to spend more.

the best gift you'll ever get from me, you get at some random point throughout the year for no apparent reason. my girlfriend (who is terribly understanding of my wierdness) has never got anything for valentines, but a couple of times a year she's on a plane before she knows it, or booked into a gorgeous restaurant, or whatever.

i think gifts are best given, and received, spontaneously.

for christmas this year, she gets a map. about three days late too!

My husband, Kustombuilder, generally waits til the last WEEK. ALthough he DID do shopping yesterday on the 24th! He does very well in getting me what I want though http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif For a couple holidays now, he's made me candle holders, that I absolutely love! He's making one this year, its not done yet, and he wont admit fully to it...but I know its there - unless he's being gay (as a michigan bitch) and lighting my candles in the shop while he works...(he came in and asked for a tealight one night, then went back outside). I guess I could be wrong?!?!?

Here's pics of 2 of the candle holders he's made me for our anniversary and for my birthday....
