Go ahead. I'm curious what you are planning. I promise not to tell her. :wave:

Hey, you think my family checks out TNCR?

Well, actually, Anthony did look at all of Mark's spectacular astro-photography! :thumb:

I really don't know. We have never gone for the "big surprise." Heck, when I have gotten jewelry or some such item, I have previewed it and then had her do the final selection. We know some artisans who make stuff, so it has always been hand made for her. I'm easy. A nice bottle of wine or Scotch and I'm done. Women are tough, tough, tough! :D

Only one bottle? Gee, you're a cheap date, PD. :lol2:

I know, I know. Actually, I'm not quite a scrooge (look at my wife's jewelry box, for instance), but I'm not the sort who believes in Christmas as a shower of presents.

No, that's not what I meant by a cheap date. Put it this way, you're happy getting only one bottle as a gift, but I bought my hubby two cases. My hubby is an expensive date for me, but you're a cheap date for your wife.

Not that there's anything wrong with being a cheap date. :lol2:

Good thinking. A new shower is probably hard to gift-wrap, anyway.

Cash is good.
It's something which can always be wrapped within something else ...
Like lingerie, for example ...
