I just discovered Star Trek Continues. A web show. Chris Doohan, James Doohan's son plays Scotty. Quite the resemblance.

A continuation of the Through a Mirror Darkly episode. Quite well done. Voices a bit squeaky. Not bad though. In fact quite good.

Out of the context of this thread (where most people were obviously joking around, myself included):

Because those aren't gifts; those are part of the essential tools for the wife's unpaid work as a house keeper. The perfect gift would be a day at a luxury beauty spa, while the hubby does the cooking and cleans the house for her.

((or maybe americans are better at these things than the folks that I know, and I'm being unnecessarily judgmental))

Yes, they are gifts. There's nothing essential about a Roomba or a stand mixer. Those are things people ask for after the essentials are taken care of, because they want them.

A day at a beauty spa has no appeal to me.

I'm not familiar with the dudes here, so I don't know who you are referring to. I was just scrolling through and didn't catch all the names of who said what. :)

Where exactly would you spend a free day to actualize your desires, then?

What sort of service by others towards your luxury, leisure or pleasure holds your appeal?

I'd spend it in and by the water–a pool would work, but preferably some quiet, gentle beach. The only service by others I'd want would be delivering food and drink, then leaving me alone. I'd have a book. Then, in the evening, a concert at a small venue, with an audience that knows when to shut up and listen. I'd like to have someone I adore share it all with me.

I like choosing my own 'stuff'. I don't want him to choose my shoes or jewellery etc. Have an opinion , absolutely....but I want a say too. And I am rather 'surrendered' on these matters I think....he has some wardrobe 'control' etc. All the more reason to like what is in there.

I will occasionally ask his opinion about clothing I'm considering. He would never buy me clothing or shoes on his own. I have a difficult enough time finding shoes for myself. :) He doesn't buy me jewelry often, and the few times he has, it's been something he spotted while out of town that he thought I would like. He's been right each time.

G bought me clothes while I was Very unwell, and encourages me to now. If he sees something he thinks I might like he sends me a photo. He has gone wrong with things and I have worn them to please him and we both decided it's not useful to either of us. That said he bought the choos i eventually married in, and just recently saw something that reminded him of something I used to own and bought it and it's great. :). So G is not right every time, but when he is right he is very right:). The photo and 'want?' System works well for us. :)

That sounds like a nice system to me. :)
 
I gave the example of a beauty spa or cosmetics as in facial creams and so on because they are among the safest things one can buy for a woman (be it their wife, their mother, sister or do on).

The same goes for stationery (like nice fountain pens, etc.) or electronic gadgets for guys or girls who are into such things.

Confectionery or alcohol? What if they're on a diet or are trying to cut down on booze?
Books? Hell no. Don't tell anyone what they should read or not.. Gift cards? They have the prices written in them, might as well give them cash upfront
Jewelry or clothes or handbags: you have to know their tastes extremely well.
Perfume: big no no. That's one of the most personal choices, and if you buy them a big bottle, they're stuck with it for a Looong time.

The other things that I sometimes like to buy for younger female relatives (whose tastes or favourite brands I know yo some degree) are travel collections miniature perfume sets. Those many miniature bottles are so much fun to play with ! Plus the fact that they come in such tiny sizes doesn't keep one bound or restricted to them. One never goes wrong with them.

The other thing when it comes to family or friends is 'how much money does one spend?

Because some people go through periods where they can't afford to buy pricey gifts. Or it might just happen that one party bought a very expensive gift, and the other one a cheaper one, which can be awkward and puts pressure on both parties.
Plus everybody has pretty much anything they need nowadays.

We sometimes made this agreement of setting the same price range for our festival gifts. Sounds a bit concrete but takes the pressure and awkward factor out of it.

Not my favourite colour, but I'd happily accept it. :)

What color would be your first choice? Should it match something in the kitchen? In the house?


An old sheet metal worker told me his favorite joke, a million times.

"Why does the bride wear a white gown to the wedding?

It matches the kitchen appliances."

I got my kitchen aid for Christmas. It's dark grey. :). It was a great gift:). I would also love a roomba, a decent ice cream maker or loads of other household things. We might get a window replaced for our wedding anniversary next year. :)

I bought a Roomba at a garage sale. The lady said she tried it a few times on her carpet floors but did not like the results. I use it but not exclusively. There are places it does not get. I will turn it on when I head out the door and empty the tray when I get home. Not sure if I would pay the going retail price for it but it is not completely without merit.

The Kitchenaide mixer has been on my list for years. One of these days I will break down and get one. I am not a big bread guy so it would not get used very often. It would look very kickass on my counter so I have to make sure to get the color just right.

That is a tough question, because so many of them are appealing. I like the lack of shine on the cast iron, because you don't see that kind of finish often. In the brighter colours, the electric blue and the cobalt blue are both vying for my attention today.

I don't need it to match anything. That's why the tangerine would be a fun choice. It could be nice to have that one piece stand out from everything else.

I do own one in onyx, but I don't know if they called it that when I got mine. They had far fewer colours to choose from back then.
