So I'm sitting here watching TV and SWMBO calls from work. She asks if I could VPN into her PC and help her verify something. (I'm a system admin where we work). OK No problem I said.

I login and she as highgravitybrew.com pulled up on her web browser at work. The shopping cart has 3 - 20gal Blichmann's AND a false bottom! I nearly fainted! She was ordering my Christmas present! I quickly acted like I didn't see what she was doing fixed the issue and told her she was good to go.

Holy Cow ... Santa had better not change her mind! LOL
 
Have you mistreated her in any way recently? Just wait till she gets you a nylon sack and tells you she heard about this really cool BIAB thing everyones been doing.

Get ahold of some pine pallets and make it yourself. She'll have to love it, its a gift from the heart, like when the kids bring home dyed pasta necklaces from school :D

Ha. Yeah they're sneaky. Hopefully we're wrong and you'll actually have some nice new gear under the tree.

Or make sure you give her her present second: If you get the pots she gets her table, no pots = "here darling, I got you a pile of firewood for the winter" :D
 
High Gravity Brew is an awesome store. I visit on a regular basis! She has good taste!
 
Man, you have a good one there. I can't imagine my wife doing that. Maybe you pamper her on your anniversary.

Here's a gift idea that brought my wife to tears (odd, but you know, women). Go to a small jewelry shop and buy bare gems for earrings. I've done this twice (once, tanzanite, once diamonds). Small shops get gems on consignment from the bigger markets - my jeweler gets his from Miami. He can keep getting different gems until you see what you want. I.e., I wanted very purple tanzanite - many of them were pale or bluish. Give her the gems, with a catelog of "settings". Most jewelers can make custom settings, too. I kid you not, she got teary-eyed.

I can't either, but its only because she would never dare to make a purchase like that unless she was absolutely sure it was exactly what I wanted. She's always scared she's going to upset me or something... she wanted to get me a gun once as a present, and I had to give her a list of approved options.

Thats what i did with my GF's engagement ring. They like having that personal touch over something out of the case.
