After 38 years of marriage and 30 years of buying crap my wife doesn't want or doesn't use, I tell her to send me specific links for whatever she wants to be surprised by under the tree. I'm a complete failure at guessing. I refuse to do it anymore. 

In return, I give her a specific list as well. It removes 99.9% of the stress from Christmas shopping. It also works for birthdays and anniversaries.

The 8 SPD. kids have been taking advantage of my kindness.  Last night was full exploitation.  I dumped TWO mop buckets and a FULL trashcan, AFTER I mopped up packing AND inspection. I was sweating my ass off while you were in street clothes bullE36 M3ing with your lackeys.

Congratulations. Nice Appleseed is dead. You killed him. You aren't going to like what shows up tonight. I'm going to take a giant E36 M3 on you.

I've just accepted that cell service sucks.  Everywhere.  Verizon quality of coverage has completely diminished over the last 5-7 years.  Unless you're on wifi, expect that 5g just flat out doesn't work.  I live in the metro area of Pittsburgh, so it's not like I'm back in BFE.

Your method makes life so easy.  The Amazon Wishlist is perfect for this.

After 15 years of marriage, Misses Queso and i just decided to forgo presents and put our money towards travel since the budget is so tight this time of year.

I have no idea what to get the wife for Christmas, the only day I have free this week for shopping is Saturday... And I'll have my 17 month old with me... 

Definitely a first world problem, and my fault for not figuring it out earlier, but...

Go to Target and get one of the nice Lego flower sets. We done.

Unless she's fancy pants and expects a big cash outlay, in which case you're in a different world than me and i am comprehensively unable to help.
