10 Year Anniversary

Coming up on December 31st, my wife and I will have been married for 10 years.

I've decided to get her a Movado watch, and a Coach bag. She likes those things, but would never buy them herself. I normally don't spend that kind of money, but this is a special event...10 years. My idea is to put the watch inside the bag. After she gets over the excitement of getting a Coach bag, when she opens it up and sees the Movado, she is going to flip out.

I just wanted some input from others as to how good of an idea this is. Perhaps some of y'all could share what you have given your wife on anniversary.

Nope, I'm happy with my MIA Jazz. However, my son did catch her on the Epifani website last week.

Flippin' sweet for you dude.

My wife has been craving a Coach purse for some time, but won't buy it. I slyly paid attention to the model she always checked out, so I even know the color and model to get. She is going to go nuts when she sees it.

Yes, two. Our 20 year old daughter moved out already, but our 16 year old son is still at home.

Well.....I gave her the gifts. I added in a pair of Birkenstocks and a scarf I made myself with the help of a friend at work. My wife flipped out when she opened the purse and saw the watch. She started crying. It was a nice occasion.

I freaked out when I was given my gifts. Something I have wanted for a long time. She got me a nine piece set of DeWalt cordless power tools, a DeWalt compound miter saw, a workbench to put everything on, and an indoor fountain I have been wanting since this past summer. I was totally blown away by the gifts. Ten years is a big deal, but my wife went buck wild this year. This doesn't even count the 50" plasma she agreed to let me buy a couple weeks ago.

I was very happy I did not get any bass gear. Bass isn't really a big part of my life anymore, so a new piece of gear would have been a nice gift, but not something I would have really wanted.

Now we are off to dinner with my parents, and my sister and her husband. We are going to a small Italian restaurant here in town called Pelligrino's. My parents and sister have some gifts for us as well.

Yeah, I did. A lady at work helped me out. Well, she did most of the work. I just knitted a few spots here and there. Last year, I helped make a huge chenille blanket that was three different colors.

Part of me is saying I should be embarassed to admit I did some knitting. Oh well, I thought it was cool to make my wife something.
