No idea what to get the wife for Xmas

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I've got about 50$ to spend.

So far I got her a few stocking stuffers like the Waid Incredibles comic, and a handsomely illustrated edition of Grimm's Faerie Tales. Was thinking about the DVDs of Pushing Daisies and Spectacular Spider-Man. She would really like those, but it doesn't feel very, y'know, personal.

Ideas from both those who know Chrissy and those who don't?

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

I was gonna get one of those for my stepmom figure, but haven't yet, maybe my grandma to. Last year my go-to gift was Josh Groban's Christmas CD partially because everyone seemed to like it, partially because it was Christmasy, but mostly because I met the guy the previous October in NYC and he was a really really nice guy. I can't watch Spectacular Spiderman, he just looks too weird...

Get her pregnant.

It's fun, personal and something you can do together.

Yeah, but is there's no return policy.

Yeah, but you can only give that particular present once ever nine months, and I have filled the quota, if you know what I'm saying. And I think you know what I'm saying when I say I filled the quota. Oh yeah. Uh huh. Filled. That. Quota.

(The quota is a vagina.)

For serious?

Why? It's a backwards housecoat! A slapchop is much more useful.

Is she geeky? If so, I have the perfect website for you.

If not, well... not a clue. Um, I vote for Step 1...

The Tiddy Bear.
And you can buy three of 'em. They only cost $15.

The Shake Weight is equally awesome.
It goes for $19.95 so you can buy two!
