Very late on Friday night I FINALLY found a gift item that I want to surprise my +1 with on Christmas Day. We usually do not exchange gifts since we generally get what we need/want all through the year and rather than just pick something we really don't want, we made a pact YEARS ago to forget it. However, this year I really wanted to get him something he'd enjoy, so I finally found what I wanted in the Sharper Image catalog. I hopped online after +1 was asleep and placed the order. Shipping was free, so I figured I'd be quite lucky if it arrived late on Christmas Eve or maybe . . . after Christmas . IT CAME TODAY!!!!! YAY -- How great is that???? ONLY TWO BUSINESS DAYS!!! I was so thrilled that I ran outside and gave the UPS guys a plate of homebaked pecan chocolate chip cookies. They were happy too. Kudos to Sharper Image!!

 

Soooooo..... what did you get him? Were you so excited that you forgot to tell us?

 

I think Val will make us wait to find out. Her +1 lurks here from time to time.

 

Darn it, I thought that might be the case. Drat, I hate secrets!

 

If I bring you something, can I have some cookies?

 

Got the steamer from Sharper Image for the "plus 1" a while back. Coolest (er- hottest) way to clean the kitchen, bath, etc...

 

I wasn't going to post thinking +1 may lurk, however, he's on vacation the rest of the year and his computer activities are being monitored by ME. I got him a shiatsu massage bed rest that has a built-in reading light and even a little cupholder. It has nice arm rests with little side pockets where he can stash his book. He can get a nice little back massage as he reads if he wants to. He loves little gadgets and particularly has an affinity for little reading lights, so when I saw that little gooseneck high intensity reading light made into the side I knew he'd love it. Our bed has a wooden headboard and positioning pillows for sitting up to read is a pain in the neck (literally). The fabric is a nice little faux suede that will be quite comfy. Now that I'm describing it, I kind of wish I'd gotten two. Here's a picture/description:

Shiatsu massage bed rest

 

Sweet, Val. The only problem with me is that I would be asleep sitting up all night. Might help the snoring, though.

 

Hey Val, my wife bought me a massage mattress a few years back for Xmas from the Sharper Image. I laughed it off when I saw it. You know what. I love it. Any time I'm sore from over working or just having a restless night............. it's great and doesn't need quarters.

 

Maybe after +1 uses this a while, I'll have some wicked thing to post on that sex thread . . . NOT.
