12string Posted July 30, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2018 Wife's birthday is today. I got nuthin' last week, she signed on for a year's worth of massages. "This can be my present". Yeah, I know better. When I bought my hiking shoes, they were get the 2nd pair half off. Guess who got the second pair? "This can be my present". Not if I want to live. I just went to her favorite chocolate shop for Butter Creams. Closed Mondays. Miles more to the next favorite. Closed til October. I'm purty sure there's flowers already there from our son. I hate buying gifts, It would be so much easier if I was stupid rich. "Here's a car, happy Flag Day" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted July 30, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2018 Next week is "Be helpful week". Last week was "Don't tell the married guy his wife's birthday is coming up week." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted July 30, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 30, 2018 If you can't come up with something else, plan a fun day out for the coming weekend and try to print out some info to represent various parts of the day (a hike using her new shoes, followed by a nice lunch, a trip to a museum she might enjoy etc.). Just be sure to print something out and wrap those sheets nicely in a bow. And get something decadent from a bakery for dessert tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted July 30, 2018 We leave early Sunday, so she'll be super stressed Saturday and if I plan an event she'll shoot me. All the bakeries are closed by now. The supermarket bakeries are garbage. She won't be home for another hour, I could wrap up her shoes. I'm a dead man.

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 30, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 30, 2018 Be honest. Honey, I had great plans for your birthday gift this year but those unhelpful dickbags on the cycling forum ruined them. I'll make it up on the trip. If you're in Truckee one morning, take her to the Donner Lake Kitchen for breakfast. It's on Donner Pass Road off I-80. You'll be glad you did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted July 31, 2018 Share #7 Posted July 31, 2018 I missed the first few birthdays & anniversaries, was a bit sticky at the time but now I'm hero when I show up with a card. Doesn't help you today, but consider today ground work... Random presents help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have printed out a planned event for some time in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted July 31, 2018 So here's what I did: Printed jsharr's post and told her the gift was that I DIDN'T take his advice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be glad you did. coincidentally, at dinner last night we discussed going to Donner Pass. The concern became what kind of food might be served at Donner Pass restaurants. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certificates are self-serve (no not like RG's self-serve). They can be downloaded from our website. I have included one here for @12string. This might not be perfect for his situation but I have found that it works pretty well for all husband situations. I've used it many times myself. Just print the cert and fill in the blanks using a crayon. If you need anything else please ask someone else 'cause I have lost interest in this...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
