Why do I remember and then instantly forget to buy her gift till the last minute?
Did you guys get it already? What kind of stuff did you get her? Let's get some ideas rolling...

We will start the conversation soon, she asks "What do you want for Christmas?", I reply I don't know, surprise me. I ask what she wants for Christmas, she replies with "I don't know, I'll think on it". We go back and forth with this same conversation for a couple weeks or more, then she buys me something that I don't particular like or want, but I know it's what she wanted me to have. She is bad about what she likes, not what the person receiving the gift likes. LOL
 
This year she requested that I make her a gym bag to hold her workout equipment. It has to have a hard bottom, pockets on the outside for her phone and glasses, pockets on the inside for kleenix and car keys, straps that let her carry it over her shoulder, and anything else I think would be nice. I'm ordering the hook and look, and other fasteners/buckles next week, the off to design the patterns. I'm planning on making it out of laminated 1000D nylon, black on the outside, green on the inside.

She's got me so whooped. :)
 
All I've got for her again this year is this here box...

A couple of the benchrest shooters at my local club are now using those instead of the provided chair. I’m considering one for my father because his back surgeries.

No clue about what to get my better half, maybe a MDT Field stock or a KRG Bravo to put her Howa 22-250 to take advantage of the adjustable pull length. Of course I’ll have to get some magazines then, 308 mags work for the 22-250.

You can wait, plenty of places offer deep discounts and next-day delivery...

The easiest thing to get any woman is a vacation. Two plane tickets, a hotel, and I don't think it matters where.

I would suggest to most that you just get her a single one way plane ticket and be done with her!
yep, a refrigerator box makes a fine shipping container for the ex. back to the shithole of origin.

just poke a few air holes in it. ......learned that the hard way......😬
 
I always struggle with this, and I was excited to see this post. I thought, man, a few days ago I asked about pots and pans, and I got a doctorate level education in a few days. Fucking wisdom bursting at the seems..

Christmas presents?

Fucking nope. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We've got caskets, one way plane tickets, refrigerator boxes, and "the bitch better be greatful to have me".

The internet is such a strange place. 😅😅😅
 
My shopping was finished a couple of months ago, grandkids, son, gf and myself. I got a new to me Security six and some new polarized Wayfarers!
