Hillarious, reminds of the Christmas I bought my than girlfriend now wife of over 20 years an engagement ring. My good friend bought his girlfriend a set of 4 tires. He was in the doghouse for a long time ! He eventually took her on a trip to Forida and got married while on vacation.
Last Christmas, a couple I know showed me the gifts they exchanged ... he got a vacuum cleaner as his gift, and she got a mailbox as hers ... only on PEI! My wife would kill me if I got her a mailbox, and if I ever received a vacuum cleaner from her ... well ... that would suck!

I guess you guys have the wrong wife. Just got my wife's Christmas list. It has only one thing on it, a new range. Man that's almost as good as shopping for a car...stainless steel, electronics, warranties. How lucky can a guy get!
So tonight was the night, she made sure we were out the door by 6:45 pm.. She said there was a Sears Furniture and Appliance store in Markham, not really that far from our place in downtown TO, basically a 15 minute drive up the 404.
We get there and lo and behold no Sears Appliance and Furniture store BUT its now a Clearance Centre. We go in anyway and this place looks like a war has been held in there, crap all over the floors people everywhere and the Store Manager barking out MIDNIGHT MADNESS over the PA " Discounts on all Merchandise, deduct the Tax on Fashions, Footwear, Free Santa Toy for all the kids, Blow out on all Christmas decorations, 30% OFF ALL APPLIANCES"
What the H, did he say 30% off on appliances ? You are darn right he did...Jackpot!
Of course my lovely bride of 27 years is drawn to the most expensive Kenmore Stainless Steel 5 burner glass top self cleaning 5.8 cubic foot oven three rack full glass front 4000 watt range on the floor. I see WAS $1,249.99 NOW $997. That's not bad I think I had figured on a G note at least going in. Salesman approaches,
"It's a great night to buy, 30% off"
"Yes" I say "I see it is $997"
He says " And 30% off"
Me " WTF are you kidding me"
"NO" he says, "that's $684 tonight and toinight only"
"You have got to be kidding me" I say
"Absolutely Not Sir" he says politely
"We'll take it" we say in unison as I hand him my debit card.
In and out in 15 minutes, it comes Monday and my wife couldn't be happier. Merry Christmas to me now!
There's a Sears outlet store in London. I took my wife there about 4 years ago and bought her one of those fancy ceramic cooktop stoves for a similar deal. Cooking is her hobby (really!) so it was a happy moment for her, much like when I buy myself a tool for the garage. Every night dinner time is like being at a fancy restaurant!

Isn't it nice having a great cook as a wife? I place mine in the top three cooks I know, in there with my Mother-in-law and Boss's wife. This explains why I have grown 2 lbs. a year for my 27 years of marriage!
I've put on about 20lbs since I met Connie. She's an advocate of cooking from scratch using wholesome ingredients. There's very little processed frozen food in our house. She's also a very smart shopper- buying large cuts of meat and cutting it up for several meals. She does a lot of homemade soups, stews and chili's. Todays soup of the day is beef barley. MMMMM!
but maybe I will bring it down after Christmas.. 
You can give it to her for her birthday.
beating down the price like that....now you da man... p.s. frying pans on sale at CTC
