The easiest person I shop for...


Have you ever tried to buy presents for Sylvia? Though I ask that rhetorically, I want to reiterate that I am not complaining at all. My wife is probably the most laid back person when it comes to buying things for her. She literally is the woman all men dream about. She walks into a store, locates a shirt or pants (preferably in black or gray) and then proceeds to buy 13 of them.


Because we were in Turkey this year for the first two weeks of December, Christmas shopping was nonexistent. I didn't even attempt to find out what she wanted...until Monday.


Here is the list my wife provided me. (This is not made up)

Dark Jeans

Tan Corduroy Pants

Gray Corduroy Pants

Pillow Stuffing

Martini Glasses

Reversible Belt


Yeah- high maintenance I know.


To follow it up, I received an email from my wife with some additions. AI thought to myself "ahh...the initial list must of have been bogus" She didn't want PILLOW STUFFING after all, probably diamonds and rubies like most other women would like to have...

I also want metal spatulas (medium and thin)

Actually, don’t buy any pants for me, I’ll just have to try it on….thanks!







Thank you Jesus for the beautiful creature you provided for me as my wife.

Just turn her loose in Bed Bath and Beyond! She's starting to turn into Martha Stewart!
Sylvia, get a grip. You can stuff pillows when you get old. Now you should go for the Bling!

Enjoy looking for Pillow Stuffing.
