1st rule of gift buying for a wife is... "nothing that plugs in".

2nd rule...Nothing that belongs in the kitchen.

3rd rule....Spend more than you spend on any personal sports item for yourself

If you abide by those rules you may not have to ever worry about what your 2nd wife would like.

I have responded 3 times to your question and had to delete since each would have caused thread deletion. Sorry. Can not help you on this board.

Also, coupons for free lovin' don't work either. Been there, done that.

I think that violates rule 3.

Learned my lesson a long time ago...you have her pick out exactly what she wants and then you go pay for it, wrap it and place it under the tree. Everyone is much happier that way. :D

If it's too late for that...diamonds are a girl's best friend...or so I have been told. :roll:

And although perhaps difficult to understand in the male mind, a CZ is the antithesis of a diamond, not a comparable. And a woman can tell immediately. Been there, done that.

Just buy her batteries - that will get you away from rule #1

Anything in a blue box from Tiffany's would be appreciated!

I tried that too. She expected what was inside to be from Tiffanys. Go figure.
