A couple of Christmases, my dad bought my mom an edger for the yard and then the next year my dad bought my mom a pruning shears for the bushes. Needless to say he received some funny looks from my mom. But he always had another gift (like jewelry or perfume) for her.

When I got old enough (about age 11), my dad would take me Christmas and birthday gift shopping with him to pick out a gift for her. When I left home to attend college, my younger sisters were recruited for this job.

How many of the guys on TOTV recruit family members to help them shop for the women in their lives? Or do you know your significant other well enough to get them "just what they want?"
