Today is my 12th anniversary. My wife said all week not to get her anything (we just got back from Disney, spent money on Christmas, 2 kids, etc).

I get home from work this morning (worked dogs 4p-4a last night).

Sitting on the counter is a $70 bottle of Belvenie 14 year old scotch and card.

I did what she said, I didn't get her anything.

She does know I bought her $200 gold earrings for Christmas earlier this week. Does this make up for it?

Should have known better.


We all know that "I don't want anything" means get me something.

Play it safe and buy her something small. You could even get her a cheap dvd you both like.

You've been married 12 years and you don't know what "you don't have to get me a present" means? Bless your heart.

You are dumb if you fell for that one.

The only way out is to get out the wedding album, the dvd, and massage her feet while you talk about how you would do it all over again. Try to shed a tear or two if you can.

You did what you said you would do. Diddle her Bhole a little. Should do the trick.

Don't sweat it. Just share the liquor and have a meaningful night. And Congratulations.

Your out. If she gets pissed, tell her that you only did what she told you to do.

For the rest of her life, she will remember what you were wearing, what she was wearing, the day of the week, the weather, everything she did on the day you DIDN'T GET HER AN ANNIVERSARY PRESENT!

You really don't understand women, do you?

edt: I hope you bathed the dog this week so it won't smell too bad in the dog house

Know what she likes. It doesn't have to be expensive, it just has to show her you know her. Maybe, there's something super simple she loves (a cheesy card, a fancy desert from a local bakery, a certain 80s movie she grew up quoting, her favorite flower, her favorite takeout meal, crossing off that item on the honey-do list she's been asking about, ect). Just brainstorm then execute.

Tell her you ordered it online and there was a Prob with shipping. Pickup a phone and pretend to be bitching out UPS

My wife probably would divorce me if I bought her $200 gold earrings for Christmas
