Hope Its Not Regifted

So, right before Christmas our gas stove shit the bed. Apparently, appliances, in the excitement of the holidays, get overloaded and die around that time. Happens often, no?

Anyway, good husband that I am, I got her a new one for Christmas. Nice huh? No? Well before you think me a cold-hearted, unromantic SOB, note that I also got her a new kitchen garbage pail that matched it.

So there!

Valentine's Day

So, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Flowers. Candies. Dinners. Lingerie. Jewelry. Hearts. Cards. Printers.

Printers?

Yeah.

Last week I did the good husband thing ordered live (not cut) flowers and some chocolates to be sent to Mrs. Blogger at her work. Not only because its the right thing to do, but also because her co-workers seem to have heels for husbands/boyfriends, so Mrs. B can bathe in a jealousy bath. She likes that and its cool with me. Hopefully, my order will get there tomorrow as the forecast is for a big ole Nor'easter snowstorm. Twelve to eighteen inches!! Finally. Taking The Little One skiing for the first time this weekend too. Cool! Stay tuned.....

Anyway, last night we went out for dinner a bit of shopping. She picked out a nice skirt and some semi-sexy sleepwear. That's the appetizer for Valentine's.

What she doesn't know is, I will head out tonight (hopefully before the snow) to find a real nice photo-quality printer. Is that a lame gift? I KNOW she wants one and I did the whole expensive jewelry thing at Christmas.

Reading Whitey's Blog got me thinking about other potentially lame Valentine's gifts. Some mentioned there were:

• Scope
• McDonald's gift card
• Pajama Gram
• Name-a-Star
• Vacuum
• Bowling Ball
• VT Teddy Bear

Actually, I've done two of the three. Eek! Can you guess which ones? I'll wear the Scarlet "L" for Loser.

I came up with a few more I'll be sure to avoid. How about these gems?

• Cleaning supplies
• Wiper blades
• Cheese of the Month Club
• Crock Pot
• Charcoal-Lined Fart Filter Panties
• Weight Loss Pills
• Nair
• Feminine Products

Any other ideas? What have you gotten? Given?

I guess the worst gift could be nothing. Or is it?
