Diamond earings. Check out the Hot Diamonds stuff at Andrews. Very nice but affordable. You can spend anywhere from under $100 on up.
A girlfriend sent this to me…not sure who wrote it or where it came from:
There are two kinds of bad Xmas gifts: Copout Gifts and Just Plain Bad Gifts. Every guy reading this needs to avoid them both. Some examples:
Copout Gifts: (1) a gift certificate to a spa (screams, “I put no thought whatsoever into this”); (2) a vacation to any locale that just so happens to have gambling (we’re not stupid); (3) a homemade gift certificate promising stuff like taking out the trash, walking the dog, dates or back rubs (cute idea, but they never get turned in and from my experience, they expire); (4) a box of candy (makes us mad because we can’t resist and we’re already worried about holiday weight); and, of course, (5) cash.
Just Plain Bad Gifts: (1) Any household items like blenders, toasters or anything that has potential to be on a bridal registry (this will really anger a girl if you’re not engaged yet); (2) nothing from a mall chain jewelry store unless you’re broke (and if you have to, change the box); (3) a sports car for your wife that you know you’ll end up driving once you knock her up and she’s stuck driving an SUV or minivan; (4) Victoria’s Secret nighties that would only look good on one of the mannequins in the store; (5) gym memberships, Jenny Craig or Trim Spa (unless you want to be killed in your sleep).
While we’re here, four gifts that will work: (1) a Nano IPod with 100 of her favorite songs already on there; (2) quality cashmere anything (scarf, sweater, hat, gloves); (3) a thoughtful book with a nice note inside; and (4) the “Grey’s Anatomy” box set (it’s the new “Sex and the City”).
Great post! I totally agree with that… also buying the faceless angels, preasious moments figurines, or those blown glass animals of her favorite animal goes over real well too.

You also think E30s are ugly.
our gifts that will work: (1) a Nano IPod with 100 of her favorite songs already on there; (2) quality cashmere anything (scarf, sweater, hat, gloves); (3) a thoughtful book with a nice note inside; and (4) the “Grey’s Anatomy” box set (it’s the new “Sex and the City”).
Solid Ideas.
