Farily broke this Christmas -- what are some affordable yet thoughtful gift ideas for my wife?

Stretchy pants.

Step 1. You cut a hole in a box.

Step 2. You put your junk in that box.

Step 3. You have her open the box.

And that is how you do it!

I was in a similar position last year. I actually wrote my wife a funny and caring poem to the structure of "Twas the Night Before Christmas". She absolutely adored it and says it is the best gift she has ever received. It didn't cost us a dime, but it took me forever to write because I am not particularly gifted in that area.

Are you still married?

Write her a letter and get her something that isn't more than 20 bucks. Or take her to see lights at the zoo on the 26th or something. Xmas in America has become a joke. It's about who can spend more. Be creative.

Actually, it sounds like by Christmas, she'll be well into her second trimester, so she's going to start needing maternity wear -- and other sorts of things that'll help her address her changing body. Gift certificate for some prenatal massages?

Why was my post about the P and A deleted? Is this a forum for prudes? Christ.

Noodle art.

Just take some uncooked noodles, some Elmer's glue, and some paper and arrange a nice message on a card.

The dictionary post was deleted too. There are some thin-skinned people starting threads here.

a breast pump

Well once May comes around your sex life is over. Instead of a physical gift, spend the whole day doing the kinkiest, sexiest, nastiest sh!t you two can think of. She'll love that more.

We just had a couple of very expensive years. We bought a house, got married (and, truthfully, we probably overspent on the wedding). We are also expecting our first child in May.

Now, I definitely have more debt than I would like. Rather than build on that debt, I'm looking to go pretty easy on spending this year.

What are some good gift ideas for a 27 year old pregnant woman?

Give her a mortgage. That way, she gets something and you get something to help your financial woes, for awhile. Until you have to start paying back the interest and the principal.

Do all the chores.

One can get some beautiful antique vases on Ebay. If your wife has any aesthetic sensibilities, this might go over well.

Christmas, dick in a box

Hanukkah, dick in a box

Kwanzaa, a dick in a box

Every single holiday a dick in a box

If she plans on breastfeeding, get her a really nice breast pump. Your going to buy one anyways and trust me when I say that she will be super grateful. We started off with a medium priced pump and my wife had troubles with it. We took it back and got a more expensive one. She daid the difference was amazing. So much faster and less painful.

So not inexpensive, but if she plans on breastfeeding, your going to buy it anyways.

A pearl necklace! wink, wink.
