This year, I bought my wife a bevelled garnet ring and matching earrings. I try to outdo myself each year, but it gets harder each time.
I dont buy for valentines day or other commercialized occasions, I give my wife gifts "just because".

About 40 years ago I felt my wife needed a 20 guage light weight Remington mahogany 1100 .

Best christmas present I ever bought her .

Gee I sure love that gun.


Actually I did buy it for her as a 12 guage kicks to hard for her .
We went out to Manatoba Goose hunting with another couple
They shot one goose and Char got 9 and I got 10 for our count
Plus many partridge and ducks.

Never wrestle with a pig (however titled) as you just get dirty and the pig has all the fun.

My worst present may have been my best.

On our first Christmas together, my wife and I had little if no money. Knowing how much I liked Peanut Butter, she bouught me a jar of peanut butter and gave it to me for Christmas wrapped in old scarf of hers.

It was more than I got her...

John I would have hard time living with out crunchy peanut butter.
I have a Nephew who is also a lover of peanut butter. He was getting married and we bought them a present .
40 years ago no idea what But I also bought them a 2.5 gallon pail of peanut butter .
This was the talk of the wedding .
I bet every one from that wedding still remembers the 2.5 gallon of peanut butter.
