I am constantly reminded of the time I bought my wife a shop vac for her birthday some 10 years ago. Now, at the time I gave her some other fine birthday gifts, jewelry and such, but we needed (OK, I needed) a shop vac, so I wrapped it and put a bow on it. Not sure she appreciated the humor.
I bought her a Delta scroll saw one Christmas. Hey, she wanted to do some wood crafts and I pointed out that she would need a scroll saw to make them. I wasn't thinking of the great addition it would make to my wood shop. Really, I wasn't.
This last Christmas I bought her a fancy sewing machine, which she had asked for. And I once surprised her with a new PT Cruiser on Valentines day. So it's not as if I always shop for her at Home Depot. But no matter what , I will never live down the other gifts.
