Surprise me

I've done most of my Christmas shopping. I still need to get something for my brother and my mom. I also have a few things left to get for my wife. My wife is not an easy person to shop for. She gives me a list which helps, but each year she adds two words to the bottom of the list which fills me with dread. Surprise me.

It's not enough for my wife that I buy her everything on her list. It's important that I buy her something she isn't expecting. I can understand this. She wants to know that I have the ability and knowledge of her to give her something she will love that she didn't know she wanted. In other words, that I've been paying attention to her. The problem is that every year I usually muck it up. Some of the past "surprises" have included a ceramic cow skull, a leather cowboy hat, and a french maid outfit. Ok, I really didn't buy her the french maid outfit. I just wanted an excuse to post that picture.

So today, I'm perusing the Internet looking for surprises. I have a few items I want to run by you guys. Please let me know what you think.

#1 Pole dancing kit. What's not to like. It's a proven fact that pole dancing is great exercise. She could get her cardio while burning calories.
#2 Ropeless Jump Rope . I'm not making this up. Click the link if you don't believe me. I wish I did come up with this idea though. I mean who wouldn't want to pay $60 bucks for something that can be picked up at any hardware store for $1.59. I'm going to borrow on this idea for all my blogging friends. I'm going to give anyone who leaves a comment on this entry a carless car. Just let me know the make and color. Never say I don't love you guys.
#3 Ijoyride. Yea, just what I need. Another device that brings me one step closer to being obsolete to my wife.
#4 Quick Pod Pro Tripod Kit. This isn't for the wife but after seeing it I had to comment. If someone gave this to me I think I would be offended. It's about the same as saying, "Here you go you loser who is so friendless you can't find someone to take your picture." #5 The Zit Zapper. I think we have a winner with this one. I can just imagine the look of surprise and joy on my wife's face as she unwraps this baby. "Finally Honey, something that can take care of your pizza face problems once and for all!" Yes, I think this is the one!

Oh well, guess I'll have to look around a bit more. French maid outfit. Hmmmm...

Note: My wife read this post and after taking a verbal beating I would like to point out there is nothing wrong with her complexion. It looks nothing like pizza, manicotti, spaghetti or any other italian dish. Just FYI.
