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

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.

I hope your wife is the one who teaches your kids to read and write.

EAT THE PIE.

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.

The key is to set the rule in advance: "This year we are making our own gifts for each other" or "This year X dollars needs to be the spending limit on our gifts to each other." Explain why. Don't let it be a surprise, and establish that she won't get you something expensive either.

A Speak and Spell, so that you could borrow it.

This is the last thing to buy her. She knows she is pregnant. This would just remind her. It would be up there with getting her a vacuum. Could always do a night away or a spa day for her. If that is too much get her a photo album for her to fill in. Put a ultrasound picture on page 1. (Even better if the picture is of your kid)

Have gay sex with a black man .

P90X DVDs

The best friend I ever got for Valentine's day was one year my boyfriend decided we would spend the afternoon running instead of me running and him going to the gym. He took me to my favorite place to run and let me show him all my favorite spots there (he hates running, says it bothers his knees). Is there something your wife wishes you would do with her, but you always say no? If so, make an afternoon of that and then make her dinner.

Nice, handmade coupons for free backrubs, foot massage, home cooked dinners, hugs, etc, etc, redeemable at any time. Include them in an envelope with a note telling her how much she means to you, and how you wish you had the money to buy her something nice, and how know you will someday.

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

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

No, there are just some immature pathetic losers here like you. Truly sad that grown men have nothing better to do than act like an f'tard.

Give her a free argument win card. Present her said card which is good for ending one conflict or argument.

People are not very smart is a safe conclusion whenever reading a thread. Beyond the ever-present grammar police of forums everywhere who waste our time correcting apostrophes and usage of the correct there/their/they're, the talk of a breast pump is equally ridiculous. Read your coverage plan. "Your health insurance plan must cover the cost of a breast pump – and may offer to cover either a rental or a new one for you to keep." Source: healthcare.gov

And, there were some good (and often personal) posts here to counter the LR-crap guys/trolls.

go to the bank and take out a 50k loan, then buy that bitch a new house. Thatlll show her.

I will be making a scrap book out of running her photos, articles, etc.

Nice and cheap, but mostly it's just a fun project that she'd never do for herself.

I suck.
