Spare tire, too.

Tangent: x-fingers that I've never had a flat in the 8 years I've had the truck. I was told that when the spare was pulled from underneath the bed of the truck it almost fell apart from dry rot.

How can anyone NOT be excited about getting that.
I was actually thinking more on the lines of sleepwear, and a house robe, or perfume. I didn`t act disappointed to him, but actually, I was! Is that a bad thing? I mean, we already have a computer, and I know he meant well..but why don`t some men stop to think, what did she say she wanted for Christmas, instead of buying something that you could live...without.
Hey, I'll make you a deal, hand over the laptop and I'll hook you up with all kinds of sleepwear and perfume.

knock-offs of course.

You may have yourself a deal, if I can`t get someone to mail me my password. I hate to start all over with a new username and all, but without that, I can`t get it going.
Perfume is obsession.

I had a GREAT platinum and diamond watch in the estate section of our jewelry store and my brother was with me so I made sure he told my husband EXACTLY what I wanted...

Well, I was having a gift engraved and I had to pick it up a few weeks after spotting the lovely watch and went into the same jewelry store to retrieve the item I had engraved. I gave the salesman my last name and he said "The only thing I see here is a purchase of a platinum and diamond watch"...

He was not supposed to tell me anything but he did by accident. My son was with me and I asked him not to ruin his dad's surprise by telling him I knew...

Christmas morning came and I was SOOOO excited to put on my new watch! Ooooooh, I could feel it on my wrist and I even wore something that would make the watch look sooo nice...

I got to my last gift and I opened it and it was a watch...a butt ugly watch I had never seen in my life!!! I almost cried! But I said thank you and tried to act like I was happy...

After about 30 minutes, my brother, husband and kids were laughing so hard...my husband found out the salesman had told me by accident and my husband went and bought me a really ugly watch to tease me with!!

The story ended well...I got my lovely watch and we got a good laugh about it!

Ha-ha, you got lucky! In the movies these scenarios usually end up with the gift being bought for a mistress. Or perhaps hubby bought a 2nd one after he knew you found out... Poor Polly, here I'm pulling her tail again! Bad, bad, Sierra!

I was a teenager in the late 80s with a 1978 Camaro. For Christmas my mom took my car while I was sleeping so she could have a brand new stereo system installed. When she told me this I was excited until I saw the brand name for the stereo and speakers,...Sparkomatic! "Gee, thanks mom".

You've never seen the movie "Love Actually"? [warning:heartbreaking scene]


YouTube - Both Sides Now - Love, Actually

The short shot at the beginning was Alan Rickman buying a very pretty gold necklace: heart shaped pendant with ruby - which wasn't for his wife. He went back later and bought it, leaving it in his coat pocket, where his wife found it. She thought it was for her, that's why she so enthusiastically grabbed for it from under the tree. Then she opened it.....
