It’s ever better than a vacuum cleaner, it’s a floor waxer/polisher…
Lucky girl!

Does she whine?
And How.

My Dad gave my Mom a P7 GE oven for Christmas in the very early 60’s….The first self cleaning oven….I think she might have peed a little bit over the gift. She was thrilled….

^^^^ I think he had to rebuild two wrecked cars to afford it…

I would be happy to unwrap a young, svelte blonde wife in a green dress and red heels on Christmas who loved to polish floors.

Zoom the pic and take a look at that thing sitting under the candelabra. WHAT THE HAYELL IS THAT!?

The first few years I was married I’d get the wife something from Victoria’s Secret, proud that I was such a good husband. Boy, was I dumb?
11
Uncle Al, without zooming in it appears to be a shrunken-head Beetlegeuise in the waiting room snow globe…

She has a pearl necklace so he must have received his gift first…
10
That was going to be a dead man.
7
And she’s kneeling on the train track! Owee.
If that was me, I’d be polishing something alright and it wouldn’t be a floor.

My mom got something that no other mom in the hood got, and that was an old Army periscope. It was a square metal box. My dad got a kick out of it because my mother had to know what the neighbors were up to…. Us kids had a great time playing with it. I think my mother stayed mad at my father. When he passed, that was the first thing she ditched.

How is this any different than giving a guy a drill for Christmas?
14
One of the worse mistakes I ever mad was giving my wife FISHING TACKLE! Not only did she out fish me, but offered me pointers!
12
I’m kinda waiting for Mr. Radiomattm to chime in regarding the Mrs. ahem, phrasing…
9
So, like a vibrator is out the question.
Damn ladies, batteries are expensive

Lol!
That was probably a status symbol back then.

I know nothing. NOTHING!

I’m reminded of the old joke about why brides wear white. (So the dishwasher matches the stove and fridge.)

I dated a single mother for some time and having been to her place many times during our courtship, for our first Christmas I shopped for practical and useful gifts that I knew she needed.
She kept the pots and pans and 35 years later I still have the vacuum which I use in my basement.

Does Mrs radiomattm have sisters?…Two would do…I’ll be dressed as the Lumberjack at the end of the bar…..

Nice looking dishwasher.

Merry Christmas. Now make me a sammitch.

I saved about $20 over October to December in my super secret hidden cash in a soda can hidden behind the hot water tank in the garage when I was around 8 or 9.
I bought my Mom either a Toaster or Electric Hand Mixer thing with the 2 rotating mixing things. Can’t even remember the name of it. They were on the $5-$10 Gift Idea Tables at the store I was at.
I do not remember toasted sandwiches very often but I do remember licking the pudding of the mixing paddles so I think that was what I bought for her.
I probably bought whatever aftershave was on the Mens Gift Table. Whichever one had the coolest man or horse or something on the probably very large bottle.
I remember these things.

And that, your Honor is how the fight started.

He even pick out a floor polisher to match her dress! Good call. I don’t see what the problem is.

“Boy, was I dumb” Not in my book. Is she still your wife?

Christmas, 1976, the evil, vile, psycho sister-in-law was visiting from California. The wife asked what I was going to get her as a gift. Nothing, I replied. She put me on notice that I’d better get her something and that there would be hell to pay if I didn’t. I went to a Walgreen’s in Omaha the next day to buy an Ithica .22 rifle they had for $29. While there, I spotted a pallet full of ugly looking glass bottles shaped like the ‘I Dream of Genie’ bottle that were filled with blue bubble bath stuff. They were marked down to 25 cents. I got home, wrapped it and put it under the tree. You should have seen the evil bitch’s face when she opened it. She didn’t really get mad. She simply didn’t know how to react. I never told the wife what I paid until many years later. It was worth the quarter I had to spend to see that goofy look on her face.

The late great Walter E. Williams would approve. He was always buying Mrs. Williams practical gifts-golf shoes so that she wouldn’t slip while going out to de-ice his car windshield!
Merry Christmas all!

It’s a trick photo. The polisher is there to distract you. Snidley Whiplash is at it again!
He’s tying her up on the train tracks! Where is Dudley Do-Right when you need him?

Too much tinsel on the tree…
And then she punched him right in the junk.
