In all fairness and equality I had to share with you what AOL said were the top gifts for him, since their choices for her were just so endlessly amusing. What could they possibly suggest to top the Wal-Mart diamonds? A dollar store 3 piece suit?
Sidenote: I feel we must once again touch on the Wal-Mart diamonds, just to hammer this in. We do not purchase diamonds from Wal-Mart, we just do not do such a thing. (unless we live in middle America). Toys, deodorant, Tupperware, cheap DVD's... fine. But jewelry? Wal-Mart is not a jeweler. Shame on you.
To the list...
1. XM Satellite Radio. Right off the bat the men are getting better gifts than the women. If you don't recall and are too lazy to scroll down, the first suggested gift for her was a sandwich maker. Hmmm cooking appliance or satellite radio...??
2. Portable iPod Speaker System. Again. They've really conformed to the stereotype that men love electronic gadgets and women love smelly lotions and jewelry. Interesting though that the advertisements surrounding the list are for strange horseshoe shaped keychains and absolutely corny alphabet cuff links... oh and I almost forgot the ever popular initial engraved money clip... none of which made the list.
3. Poker Chip Set. Here honey, since you got me Wal-Mart diamond earrings, I'll buy you something that enables you to spend one night away from me gambling and burping with the boys. And on that night, my friends and I will discuss what a cheap bastard you are for buying jewelry in a shlock market.
4. DVD Camcorder. I'm really getting bored of all these electronic gizmos on the list. Why isn't Bulova watch listed? What if he's a metrosexual and he doesn't want the entire stock of Best Buy... maybe he wants a spa gift basket instead?? Well... in that case, he can have mine.
5. Kenneth Cole Black. I could comment if I knew what this was???? Huh? Sounds like it could be a cologne, which would make sense on a list such as this. Couldn't they just write cologne?
