Then again, we're men...is it possible that we see them as tools (and what man doesn't like good tools as a present? ) and not obligations. Cheers, Marc (with apologies for my tongue-in-cheek gross generalisations ) |

I'd love a Kitchenaid mixer as an anniversary gift. I should link my husband onto this site

My sister has a shiny red KitchenAid stand mixer that her hubby bought for Xmas over 10 years ago. She still loves it and like most KitchenAid owners, she keeps it sitting out as part of the kitchen decor. A mixer like that, should not be hidden in a cabinet! |

If you want to get a Kindle (or any other device) for a special occasion, you might like to send them a card on the device!

You should have heard the berating I got from my beau after he had already taken care of half of his "honey-do" list before realising that I had a DeWalt drill and sander in my arsenal. I thought he saw them! The letters are bright and bold enough on their cases!

FWIW, all the women I know I think would be stoked to get any kind of ereader (or tablet) as a gift, especially as an anniversary one. Cheers, Marc |

Thought about buying one on Target but I just started having weird issues with the wifi one which bought on a brick store. Maybe it's better if I buy from Amazon directly. |

I hate tools! Actually, I'm not lazy but find zero fun doing handy man stuff. If I can, I prefer hiring someone to do the work. I stimulate the economy that way too, hahahaha... |

I just used Microsoft Word to create a .doc file and then used Amazon's conversion service to send it to the Kindle. You could use a free program like LibreOffice if you don't have Microsoft Word to do the same thing. |

That said I think most men need to be trained when it comes to things like gifts. My hubby isn't a card guy he just didn't see a big deal in them. So I had to just come out and tell him that Cards are a big deal in my family. The first time he got me a card it was a funny sarcastic one. I've got him well trained now. He knows I like the sweet or sappy ones. As for gifts We don't hint around we just ask each other what we want. Sometimes he surprises me with the just Because gifts but I still remember when we was dating his first gift to me was a set of hot rollers and a bottle of hair dye. After 11 years of marriage and 12 years of being together he knows better then to buy a gift like that. Honesty is best if you don't know what to get your wife ask her. In this case I think a Kindle is a great idea seeing she's already hinted and even gave the color she wanted. |
