On Dec. 10th I published a blog asking for suggestions on what to get my wife for Christmas. I received some really good suggestions and I thank everyone for their comments and suggestions. Now I know I can depend on my fellow
YourHub.com bloggers to lead me in the right direction when I need help on anything in the future.
Yes, I went with one of the suggestions. Before I announce the winner, I will briefly cover all the comments with a reply to the comments.
Brendan Leonard commented, "I think a chocolate fountain would be appropriate. Definitely unnecessary, though. " Good suggestion, however, my wife says chocolate gives her pimples. Sorry, complexion wins. Brendan must have a thing about chocolate, he brings the subject up quite often
Karin Malchow commented, "She's wearing a necklace and pin in the photograph, so I vote for jewelry. It doesn't have to be expensive, if she'd disapprove of extravagance; just look through the stuff she has to get an idea of what she likes
." Another excellent idea, I save jewelry when I am in trouble. She has a large selection of jewelry already.
Michael Rule 's comment was, "Jewelry always works, or maybe a day at the spa with her best friend. Susan still talks about that ..." I covered the jewelry subject, Maybe next year for the spa suggestion.
Charmaine Robledo suggestions were "Ha! I always ask for more pants for Christmas. One can never have enough pants. Or socks. I like to pretend I'm a wine aficionado, so I would suggest maybe a nice wine rack or a wine opening kit (I gave one of those as a wedding present), with, of course, a bottle of wine."Good idea, however,She is not into wine and I'm into cheap wine.
Gladys Mercier commented "Doesshe like to read? I love to get novels. You are a great looking couple
." Thanks for the compliment; we do love each other. However, she is not into reading books.
Nikki Britain said, "I am a big fan of pedicures. Somewhat necessary as toenails DO need to be trimmed regularly, but still the added extravagance of having someone else do it for you. Best of luck in your present shopping! Merry Christmas! " Good unique suggestion, however, at the present time I don't know where to find someone who does this. I need to do some research for a future Christmas.
And the Winner Is ...
William Boucher, his suggestion was, "Take a chance on the jeans, write a love letter, and put it in the pocket.
" I went with this idea and the gleam in her eyes was priceless. Thank you William, you big romantic.
