The wife is pulling the "I don't want anything" card
6/10/2012 12:49:08 AM
Her 31st is coming up shortly. She won't even hint as to what she might like to have. The only thing I can think of that won't break the bank, that she's been wanting for a while is to have her window's tinted. Crappy gift? I figure that and some flowers might cut it.

First reply and all that

According to Zails. "I don't want anything" translated is: I want diamonds.

This is the way it works, they get jewelry... You get a shirt.

Why do you guys say I'm screwed. Heck, she might even be surprised this go round. Before when she's said "nothing" that's what she got and she doesn't get bent out of shape about it. It doesn't feel right though. I want to get her something nice/thoughtful. She's due in Sept with our second son.

Does she like her car? If so then windows tinted and an auto detail.
Get her a card and a $20 mix of spring flowers anyway with any gift.

Hell yeah, get her windows tinted! Especially with her being pregnant and soon to be toting around a newborn. She'll need all the extra cooling help she can get!
6/10/2012 12:58:22 AM
Does she have a decent watch?

She's been dropping hints about it for oh, the last 4 years since we moved to SE GA. We're in KY now and she mentioned something about it the other day. I think that's what I'm gonna do for her. Plus, I won't have to tint the rear windows with that cutesy blue tint they sell at baby's R us.

I think you're good on the tint.
It's not a 5 or an 0, no big thang.
6/10/2012 1:03:30 AM
Poke into her browser history. Look at her Amazon recommendations.
Look for any catalogs she gets in the mail. Get the newspaper still? Does she go through the advertisements? What does she linger on?
If there truly is nothing she wants, take her out for a night on the town. Some sort of live performance, and a nice dinner. Figure if there's somewhere nice you can take a walk, or if there actually is a downtown that has the carriage rides etc. OATT's intel she just dropped is good. Some sort of "last hurrah" before the baby comes kind of an evening out. Get the first kid parked with the grandparents or some family friends for the night.
Some places have a spa package for pregnant women.
Women want to know that you're thinking about them.
"Nothing" is often code for, "I want time and attention. Not something that comes in a box."

No sense wasting $ when she says she doesn't want anything. Get her a new SnapOn socket set or something. She'll love it for sure because it was from you.
6/10/2012 1:04:55 AM
HA HA sucks to be you
6/10/2012 1:05:18 AM
Get her a blouse and a dildo, that way if she doesn't like the blouse she can go fuck herself.
6/10/2012 1:05:47 AM
They play the "nothing" card for a present to test to see if you were listening before at some time when she mentioned it. Which was probably 7 months ago and when you were already in the middle of something.
You can always punt and get some cultured freshwater pearls. Relatively inexpensive and the jewelry shops will usually gift-wrap for you so you don't even need to worry about that. Then stop by the grocery store and find a card with fancy writing and rose on it in the birthday section. While at the grocery store stop by the bakery and pickup a couple of the new-fangled fancy cupcakes that are all the rage. Done and done.

I wouldn't get her anything then...though this may be the reason why I am single.

Yet.
She's saving the "get bent out of shape" for a time that suits her the most.

Well, we just moved from the GA/FL line to western KY and we don't know a soul out here. Grandparents are 14 hours away. Poke into her browser history. Look at her Amazon recommendations.

Kid is always in tow. My wife hates the whole "pampered" thing. She is truly difficult to shop for sometimes. You really gotta pay attention to what she lingers on because she doesn't linger long. I will take the "time and attention" bit into consideration.

You will never go wrong taking her for a massage, or a day at the spa. ONLY FOR HER
6/10/2012 1:13:07 AM

Had this happen to me once. She said she wanted nothing, so she got nothing.

Replicate the spa at home. With booze. And sex.
Sure, your massage might not compare. Your hot rocks out of the garden might not be the official approved hot rocks treatment rocks. A lot of that shit's all in the presentation though.
Give it a whirl. What's the worst that could happen? I've wound up drunk, naked, with first degree burns and covered in stinky oils in far worse contexts.

4 years???
Yea I'd go with the window tint.
It'll be less than $200 for the best.
I would have gone and had it done myself if it were me.
"She doesn't want anything" but for you to listen to and have consideration for her.

Deadliest trap in the arsenal! Beware, and don't fail to act! When WE say we want nothing, we MEAN IT. When they do, it means MOAR!
6/10/2012 1:36:58 AM

Get her a Kitchenaide Mixer and all the supplies to have her make chocolate chip cookies. You and the little one get to eat cookies while she cleans up. It's a win-win for everyone.
For the love of God, don't tell her I said that. She'll either hate me or laugh. Seriously though, how about taking her out to dinner or send her to a Spa for a massage or something??
ETA: Check out Bath Junkie and see if there's anything near your AO.

Get her a necklace or bracelet with your kids birthstones in it. That should run you a little more than tint (depending on who tints your windows). Women like shiny things and it has your kids involved.

So long as she's cooking the damn cookies, she can yell at me all she wants. Make sure to give her my address so she can send me a couple of cookies!
Tell her we said hi.

Got her a white gold snowflake with a blue topaz in the middle of it for my first born (Dec Baby) so I'm already half way covered on that one. Thanks for the idea though.

Then take her to dinner and surprise her with an overnight trip to a classy hotel for the night..
