Hot pads, dish cloth or dust mop?

[VicUser]

Ok, tomorrow is my wifes b-day and I am thinking what to get her. As most of you know I am a practical guy, so the three things I am thinking to choose from of are, hot pads, dish cloth or dust mop. I am not sure I could top the vacuum for Valentines day. So I am setting the bar a little lower. I am finishing up the new flooring 3 of the rooms she wanted too.

If I plan on spending more than a grand I typically go to our favorite local hometown jeweler, but on the less expensive stuff I do a decent job with a loop, she’ll never get rid of them anyway so  as long as there is no big inclusions she’s happy.

OIC Had no idea my bro comes with me to check clarity and such I am ignorant to verifying value I just ask for certificate at the jeweler he is a small dealer one store.

A jewelers loop is one of those things you look through to see any imperfections in the gems...

[Mikeinthesouth]

what is a jeweler's loop??

[newgirl2708]

HA!!! I have my nose ring ready ;) You'll need it to get me to the chop shop!

It makes me very happy to know she wants to be, and is, my girlfriend.

I saw the pictures of the set and I'm sure she can't wait to get to work and show them off. And why not there beautiful.

I also saw the picture of Mollie? I see she is smiling too.

aaawwwhhh...dont make me cry!   how good does that make YOU feel?

[VicUser]

In all sincerity I do want to thank all of you for your help. When I gave my sweetie the flowers and told her that these are for my wife for her birthday she smiled and was happy, but when I gave her the gift bag with the jewelry and said this is for my girlfriend for her birthday she beamed. I have bought her much much nicer jewelry before and it was met with little enthusiasm. Last night she didn’t want to take the jewelry off and this morning she got up early so I could help her put the necklace on so she could wear the set to work.

[VicUser]

Yes, I read it, and your welcome...lmao

By the way we do have the Mother-in-law suite avalible. It may need to be spruced up though, no one has used it since the last steer went to the butcher. It is spacious and has running water and electric though...lol

[joann1975]

Ok that was great! You crack me up and your wife is lucky!

[newgirl2708]

Thank you again for the pendant and earings...they're lovely!


SmokeandMirrors:
HA!!!! It was almost too easy...I don't think he read it...Glad to share the chuckle.

[LIZZIE LOU]

ROFLMAO

[VicUser]

I need to thanks all of you for your input. I thought about what you said and went to the store and found a nice diamond and emerald pendant and a pair of matching earings, there was also a really nice arrangement of live tulips that could be enjoyed now and planted for years worth of enjoyment.


I bought the flowers for my wife and the pendant and earings for my girlfriend.


Thanks again for all you help.

MY hubby is cooking fried chicken for ME tonight..and frying up some of those morels...mmm...and it's not my birthday or mother's day! Wonder what's up his sleeve...lol...cat...=)

FOR SALE: beautiful ruby and diamond ring and a gorgous wedding band with many diamonds.    lol

[Jacqui805]

I say get her the Swiffer AND a piece of jewelry...jewelry NEVER hurts!

[mimi1313]

Mary had it right when she said make it her day(all day) and make her feel special. Guys don't do that enough. Make her feel like a princess and jewelry doesn't hurt!

[confused456]

just don't give her what I got for my birthday which was just back in March and hopefully you will be fine!

[LIZZIE LOU]

aaawwwhhh...that's toooooo bad...lol.  

when i was married to the "good doctor"...he bought me a 4 carat diamond solitaire ring.  it came from a jewelry store...but it was part of an estate sale.  it was "used"...but i could have cared less.

[VicUser]

Good idea, but I think that would land me in the dog house real quick. She is only funny about a few things and while I have never asked her, I would bet that would be one of them.

I have found that Sam's club has nice jewlery at reasonable prices. They do look at you strange when you ask for a jewlers loop and pick through the stock to find the best one.

[LIZZIE LOU]

just a thought!!!!!!  stop by a pawn shop instead...they have awesome second hand jewelry there and at a fraction of the price.  i found some awesome diamond earrings there this past december when i was looking for a ring for one of my younger sons to give his girlfriend.  i came home and was telling hubby about how "cheap" diamonds were and about the earrings.  he surprised me with them for christmas and i could have cared less that they were NOT NEW!!!!  they look good on the new owner...:)

[dove3053]

Good thinking, this will be a birthday she will never forget :)
