6. No, we've been married for 6 years now
but, when we got married, she didn't have a job and I had a lot of debt from my crazy-spending ex-wife. So, I didn't have much money for a ring and I told her that when we were in better shape financially, I would get her a nice one. I've tried a few times over the years, but she finally relented recently and we went down to Diamond Row in Manhattan...

My wife got fuzzy slippers, a robe, a puppy calendar, and lots of jewelry

my daughter got a ton of books, clothes, and art supplies

and I sent my mom a case of steaks. She's hard to shop for, but she loves good food.

8. Got the wife a bunch of stuff but....
What surprised me the most was how much my non-want-to-be-tech mom loved the GPS device we got her for driving directions.
