Brie, that would be a good idea, BUT men can't decipher women hints. See below:
Man hint: I sure would like a new Dewalt grinder for Christmas.
Woman hint: (men read this as fast as you can to simulate a woman talking) I was talking to Amy the other day and her husband ran over a nail and had a flat tire, then their cat ran away, and the garbage can got knocke..oh, I forgot to tell you your mother called today, so anyway like I was saying they just bought a new electric blanket and Amy just loves it. I told Amy we don't need an electric blanket because we snuggle in bed. Did you notice how cold the floor was in the bathroom this morning.
The woman wants this for Christmas:
A) A 12 volt air compressor so she can air up a flat tire
B) A cat
C) An electric blanket
D) warm fuzzy slippers
The answer, E) A new dress like Amy's sister wore to their house the day their cat ran away.
Funny but very true!! We buy one big gift together (like a TV, computer and print, a vehicle or something) every year and just get each other a small gift to open on Christmas day. We determined that if we do this we wont waste money and can get something useful.
