Ok ladies,
you know most of us guys have a tough time getting gifts for you.

Please tell us what you'd really like to see your significant other get you before the year ends.

We need some serious help. Get your friends on here so they can let us know.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this for us. We're looking for multiple opinions.

So jump in Ladies, pretty please?

I just got a whole new computer with an/ all in one scanner copier printer and a digital camera as soon as I figure out what kind to get from my sweet heart. He knew I needed something to keep me busy with winter coming. The old computer took for ever to get any where and I spent a lot of time just waiting for things to open this one is great it opens right now. Yes I have the best husband in the whole world.

Here is a few hints for you gise. Most women want gifts that in some way lets them know they are loved. This varies depending on the person and that is the one thing you have to learn from them. Some women want personal gifts such as jewelry, perfume or clothing if you know the right size and her taste. Some women like house hold appliances that help make their work at home faster and easier. Be careful here some women don't find this very personal.

I guess for me I would like a prepaid cell phone. That would be a nice gift if she don't already have one. It would tell her that you care especially with winter coming and she could call you from any where.

Good luck, Finding that right gift can be hard. Your best bet might be to ask her what she wants. <><Mary><>

What ever you do don't buy her pans or appliances unless she asks for them!!!! I worked retail for a long time and saw a lot of men get in trouble with this one!

How about a digital camera my husband gave me one last Christmas and I love it! Now if I could just catch that big fish to take the picture of to send to all my friends! Or how about my favorite gold and diamonds - my personal favorite? I am one that does not care for flowers - I like something I can keep and use. So my advice is know your lady's tastes.

I also have some advice for you women which comes from years of retail experience. No matter what he buys you (unless it is the wrong size) do not take it back and exchange it for something else! I can not tell you how many men told me they quit buying their wives gifts because they just exchanged them anyway. So keep it and hope for better next time. Good luck with your shopping! Now do any of you have any idea for my husband? The one that has no interests except horses - no sports etc. although he did start fishing this year - because I forced him into it.

Well of the top of my head, here's a few ideas:

1) A new laptop computer, and a study to keep it safe.

2) A PT Cruiser, preferably in black.

3) Spending money (a lot)

Those are just the stocking fillers, of course, when I think of more, I'll let you know.

Hi Delmuts!
We have quarter horses which we showed for many years in pleasure classes. Now we mostly raise foals and he likes to trail ride. He goes with a bunch of guys to Tucson every year for 2 weeks in the winter. The problem with all your ideas is that I use to manage a western shop so needless to say he has all of the things you mentioned and much more. He did mention a new Duramax Diesel crew cab! Yeah right - he has not been that good this year.

Gifts for guys - that $100 gift cert to Cabelas or Fleet Farm will go along ways toward buying that item thats just out of range and is on the list for next year. And you just have to ask, guys that hunt and fish always have more gear they need. Some of the my most functional gifts (my ice king boots and my heavy archery camo) are gifts from my wife.

Hey Delmuts - since you have been soooooo good I sure hope Santa is good to you! cool.gif
The Fleet Farm is a good gift certificate for women as well as men. That is what my daughter wants.
But my husband does not hunt, ice fish or watch football and only fishes because I drag him out there. Looks like he will get another pair of cowboy boots this year.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
