Wife Christmas gift ideas, what are we thinking boys

My wife is easy to shop for because if she wants something she will just buy it herself or tell me exactly what she wants. Also she is fine if I never buy her jewelry because she's acknowledged that she would probably just lose it.

My wife is also a pain in the rear end to shop for because her schedule is always so packed and unpredictable that I can never surprise her with anything, or schedule anything spontaneous for us to do. She'll probably just see an event she wants to go to, tell me about it, and I'll buy tickets or whatever.

Had a good laugh seeing the headlines this morning that the Winklevoss twins are 'Bitcoin billionaires'. Seems to miss the point of having a lot of a made up, illiquid asset.

soft/warm as gently caress slippers, a box full of stuff your spouse needs for a hobby they've always wanted to pursue/project they want to complete, Hitachi wand, a well-made/crafted thing they'll use everyday, a trip somewhere

another thing that works well is if you have the PDF-createry skills to get a book printed up about something. Doesn't run as much as you'd think and it's a tangible gift that can stick around for a long time

My girlfriend got a new car and a puppy a couple of weeks ago immediately after we returned from a 3 week vacation. She ain’t getting poo poo for Christmas. A Starbucks gift card. Maybe a nice sweater.

Haha. Before the housing crash I took a look at a ~2000 sq ft house about 2 miles from where I currently live. The foundation was cracked and the entire house had a very noticable tilt to it, along with black mold.

They wanted $700k for it.

Get one of these if you don't have one. It's mindlessly easy to never gently caress up a cut of meat again and most of the time you'll be making things much more tender than you're used to.

Only downside is it takes longer to make stuff.

Hopefully I won't be around to find out how this disaster ends. I'm pretty sure he has convinced the rest of the house to invest by now. Basically just waiting for the last approval steps for my full time remote, so I can bring all my monitors and junk to LA.

Moving back into my mom's and I'm excited about it.

Moissanite had a bad rep because they used to have a greenish-tinge but with advances in science the only way to tell em apart from diamonds is Moissanite don't have imperfections

Plus take the money you save from not giving money to de beers and throw it into savings for a happier marriage

San Francisco scoffs

Fire-gutted, 600-square-foot San Francisco home on the market for $799K
http://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/San-Francisco-fire-gutted-house-fixer-upper-12299857.php#photo-14404324

quote:

The Realtor selling a 600-square-foot, fire-ravaged cottage in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood isn't sugar-coating his listing.

"You have to sign a waiver of non-responsibility to get in there," says Jim Laufenberg of Coldwell Banker. "It's so bad you don't even want to walk in there. It's burned to no end. It's not salvageable."

In other words, 121 Gates is what's known in the real estate business as a "contractor's special" or a "major project" for an adventuresome buyer. It burned in a 2016 blaze.

It's perfectly reasonable. Focus on the good. Spend the money you were going to on xmas for her and take a vacation or blow out a strip club.
