I would like to talk to married men about something really naughty.

We are going to talk about getting you on the Nice list, but I knew that Naughty would get your attention. It worked.

Is there any sort of Christmas tradition in your home that involves stockings filled with gifts?
Does your wife fill stockings for everyone in the family?
Does she have to fill her own? Or is hers empty? Or does her daughter fill it?


Thats a thing that you should be doing. If she laughs off her empty stocking or the fact that she has to fill it herself, she doesn’t really think it’s funny.

** If you are the worlds best husband and annually fill your wife’s Christmas stocking with gifts, real estate deeds, and overflowing with diamonds, then this thread is not about you and it’s perfectly ok to not post and make it about you **

To the rest of you, some tips. If you havent been doing it because you don’t know what to get, I’m here to help. (Perhaps other lit ladies will also chime in with ideas)

1. go look at where she gets ready for the day. Does she wear makeup/nail polish, etc? Look for the items that are less than half full to nearly empty. Take a picture of the item, and a pic of the label that shows the color name and number. Show the pics to someone working at Ulta or Sephora, and ask them to help you find it.

2. when she runs errands all day alone, where does she stop for lunch/coffee? When she doesn’t have to consider anyone’s else’s wants. Get her a gift card for that place.

3. if you have access to her Amazon account, go look at her cart, then scroll down to ‘saved for later’. She wants all of that stuff, she’s just waiting till she has some extra money for it. Get all the stuff that’s small enough to fit in a stocking

4 jewelry? maybe. the stocking doesn’t have to be super expensive to fill, but if you have the means, put the jewelry in the very bottom. You know those commercials from the big chain jewelers with the heart shaped necklace that the woman in the commercial swoons over? Unless your wife has pointed unprompted directly at the tv during that commercial and said that she would specifically love that…. She doesn’t want that. Look at the jewelry that she has chosen for herself and get something similar in style. Does she like delicate neutrals? Bold chunky colors? Get her something to her taste, not from a commercial.

5. go to Bath and Body Works (not Walmart or Walgreens or 7-11) and get 2-3 mini hand creams and mini hand sanitizer in matching scents.

6. this time you can go to Walgreens or Walmart or 7-11… get a couple tubes of Burt’s Bees lip balm

7. her favorite candy or snack

Wrap stuff if stocking gifts are typically wrapped. It doesn’t have to be perfect or pretty.


There ya go. Don’t drop the ball. If youve never filled her stocking before and she asks why you decided to this time, don’t tell her that you got the idea from a woman on a porn site.

You’ve got 3 weeks. You can do this.
Wow
 
The occasional use of whatever creative outlet you have goes a long way too. Writing a poem, a story (doesn’t have to be dirty), a song, doodle or anything else she inspired you to create. It’s both a gift and validation that you see her and a reminder to her that she inspires you…depends on the wife I guess but works for us

Thank you! I invariably fail in this area... but this could apply throughout the year.
