Just as a follow up, pepper mills - even fancy Peugeot ones - never, ever are an appropriate Valentine's Day gift. Don't ask me how I know this [hangs head in shame]. :(
After Victor watched this video last night we started talking about it... I think there must be something wrong with me. I mean, I'd be pissed if he gave me a Thighmaster for Christmas and told me I needed to stop stuffing my face, but that vacuum cleaner? It looked pretty cool! And same with the pepper mill, Dan--true, not romantic, but STILL! When we first got married Vic got me a KitchenAid food processor to go with the other KA appliances we'd gotten for wedding gifts, and I was tha-rilled.
(Now, the timely question is WILL THERE BE A ROOMBA WITH JEN'S NAME ON IT UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE THIS YEAR???)
What killed me was when he looked at her and said, "This is the best vacuum cleaner you'll ever own," as he gently caressed her chin. Um, yeah. I don't think so.
Jen, your birthday gifts to me were "perfect" in that they would be exactly what I would want. On a side note, we were in Belize a year ago this week. I would kill to be sitting on the beach with a pina colada (with alcohol this time, because I was pregnant last year) reading a very thick book.
Oh gosh that was funny. I have forwarded on to the appropriate men in my life. Ha. We'll see how that goes!
Gotta say, though, I am firmly in the "it's the thought that counts" camp. If thought went into it, then I'm all good, even if it's not my bag, so to speak. If it was a midnight stop at the local mart (K-, Wal- or otherwise), not so much.

Which is not to say, however, that I'd be very pleased with a well-thought-out thighmaster or absizer... some thoughts are better left un-thought.
