Ah...that clears it up

Ah...that clears it up

setting up an emotional roller coaster

start off with confusion and disappointment and the good gift following it brings excitement and elation

Like giving a young son yellow socks and a brown sweater for Xmas and then immediately bring him out to the garage to see his new dirt bike.

The type of thing that my wife wouldn't let me do but if left to my own devices I can. Like her calendar with raccoons followed by the bottle of JW Blue.

My vote is for a new experience...something she or they may have mentioned as wanting to try...like a rock climbing lesson, French cooking class, fly fishing or casting lesson, learn to telemark, glass blowing, skeet shooting, pottery, beginner language lessons?  I'm just throwing out ideas...
Anything that's new & exciting for both of them.

...calendar with raccoons...

That right there almost cost me computer repairs.    



I did the reverse emotional rollercoaster one time w/a co-worker and a Tiffany gift box & bag which had one of our own give-aways in it (a multi-tool that we had an abundance of).  Watching her dance around while opening the bag and saying "ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod" then the disappointment.... was priceless.    I'm mean like that.

Since they probably have more toasters and fondue sets than they can use, money (yeah, I know, cold)  or maybe a weekend at a hotel or romantic dinner somewhere.

There is a restaurant close by that I know they haven't been to that they would love....   hmmmmm... 

Now I have too many (very good) gift ideas!

Thanks everyone!

something stupid and silly followed by a good gift

like 5 pounds of butter and a picture of a pony (who cares if the joke is lost on them, you'll laugh) followed by one of the gifts mentioned above

my sides are hurting...   

[Howie]

Finally got it

We think alike. I've pulled pranks like your Tiffany gift box diversion. It is fun to watch the wheels come off sometimes, isn't it? Does that make us bad?

Worked out perfect 

[fastwin]

Well played. Both methods have their own appeal. High-low. Low-high.

Thanks for doing the dirty work, Bick. 

I didn't feel like going through all that on the iPhone.

"Beyond the Garbage Can"

   




What did she say was going through her head when she opened that one?!?!?!

Crying over here....
