Is it for your RV?
OP
OP
Tricky to answer - but hats off for paying attention in the drunk thread to know that an RV is involved in our lives.
The answer to this question is in two parts:
1. It is not inherently related to the RV or camping.
2. In our case, it will be used while RV-ing.
I think that was question 8

Ok, here’s what we know so far .....
goofy ... nearly as goofy as something like fishing tackle
wife specified she wanted it
obscure (or at least obscure as a gift)
usually practical woman might mean practical gift
smaller than a breadbox
gender neutral in todays society
can be, or is used outdoors
will be used while RV’ing but not specifically made just for it
it uses electricity
not made of precious metal (gold, silver etc)
not edible
not involved with gaming
not anything ever living
not the wetsuit you would wear to be catapulted into a vat of ice cold jagermeister by 5 naked female firefighters.

I said not made of "fine metal". I assumed this was talking about gold, silver, platinum, etc. I am not 100% of what this is made of...but it is not made of gold, silver, platinum...

Can we have a clarification regarding your saying it was an "obscure gift" (without using up a full question ...
Did you mean it is an obscure item? (in other words, uncommon) ... or is it just obscure as a gift.

Damn, I misread it. I thought it said "You need balls to pick out a gift for my wife"...

Here are some ideas. Ridire seems to have taken care of his gift, but I thought I'd throw some ideas here. I'd be happy to read others since I'm always looking for fresh ideas for my wife.
After watching her exchange jewelry in the past, I decided to just get her bare gems and let her pick out the settings. The first time I did that (two very purple tanzanites) she cried. Yes, cried. Happy like. Buying gems is cool because you can go to a dealer and pick out exactly what you want. I had my dealer get different ones, twice, from Miami before I found a really nice pair (for earrings). I gave her a catalog of settings, she took care of the rest. I've done the same with diamonds and other stuff. It's fairly economical, too, since you are not paying for a name brand on anything.
There are day spas that you can get her a whole day of pampering at. Pool, massage, lunch, nails, tanning, girl stuff. I talked to the husband of her best friend, he did the same, that way I didn't get sucked into that.
I usually give away a coupon for me to paint any room in the house. I'd do it anyway, but it works anyway. Cheap, too.
This year I'm getting my wife a watercolor paint set. She used to paint when she was young. My 3 kids are in college now, and now that she's done with the hectic part of raising them, it's time to get back to youthful passions while we still have the energy for it. If your wife is transitioning like this, consider a gift to help get back to her roots.
