Holy cow, a $630 fondu pot!?!?!? You guys must really, really love fondu.

I'm not saying I don't spend money on my wife -- just not jewelry. I always ask her what she wants for her birthday, Christmas, etc. For example, this year for Christmas we are going to San Diego to spend Christmas with her family... and of course, we will be going to San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, and DisneyLand. *shrug*

I bought this for my wife. I buy my wife jewelry at least twice each year. Definitely on Valentine's Day & usually on either her birthday or Christmas. It only makes sense to buy jewelry with your girlfriend or wife's birth-stone on her birthday. As a matter of fact, I bought her a Dior ring when we were in Paris just for the hell of it. I'm not a rich guy that can just throw his money around either. We simply don't spend money on things that the average person does (e.g. outrageous cellphone & cable payments or video games) so that we can instead spend money on each-other. We also sell anything that we don't use (books when we finish reading them, etc.). I vowed years ago to never treat my wife like my father treats my mother. She's lucky to get anything for her birthday or Christmas because he always claims that gifts are too expensive but it's always strange how he can afford 5-10 new PC games throughout the year (most of which he'll beat in a week & never sell) or upgrades for his computer.

I don't understand jewelry... I'd rather buy something useful.

Haha, I gave Amy an expensive piece of jewelry last month, and now I never have to buy her any ever again :awesome:

My wife is French, we love to cook French food, we love to entertain our friends & family, Mauviel is the standard for fine-dining & we're experimenting around with different cookware for the restaurant that we hope to open soon. We recently visited Normandie, France (Mont Saint-Michel) where Mauviel cookware is made (much of it still by hand) & we were very much impressed. She has no idea that she's getting one & will probably pee in her pants with excitement when she see's it.

Wow, looks like the spammers hacked JLee's account and are using it to make themselves look more reputable. Sucks. :(

Fondue is pretty awesome, to be fair.

Though $630 is pretty dedicated

Bleh on all that crap. A personal gift is always better. The sort of thing that, anyone who isn't you or her, is like, wtf? That's a ****ty gift. But she's like, OMFG BEST GIFT EVER. That's what I get my woman.

I took up knitting last week. I might be able to get good enough to knit someone a scarf before Christmas.

After a year and a half in Switzerland....let me tell you fondue ain't that special...chocolate fondue with strawberries however....

as for jewellery, do watches count? that's the only thing I've ever bought myself. I'm sure if and when the time arises for rings I'll look into it, but neither myself or any of my girlfriends (past or present) have ever been that big on rings/diamonds/etc..

the first post was a bit of a spam fest, a little bit of text wouldn't have gone amiss.

There is a little bit of text.

WTF, people...I'm trying to help someone out and all most of you can do is whine.

Well JLee, to be honest when I first clicked on this thread I was expecting some kind of amusing story and was disappointed by seeing just a bunch of sales links, it honestly did feel like I had just got spammed.
I'm not saying don't tell people about deals on my account, since I'm just one guy, I'm just saying, personally, seeing a good deal linked now and then is great, sometimes quite interesting even when I don't care at all about the product, but... for me at least, clicking on a thread and just seeing a big bunch of links to shops just felt like I checked the junk section of my email.
But still, this is just one corpses opinion.

I don't think anyone really minds that you've taken the time to post some helpful links. It's that we resent the implication that jewelery is (always) a good gift for loved ones. Maybe that's not your opinion, but it's what it seemed like.

Or maybe I will just label every deal thread I post as SPAM.

A mythical creature on the internet. Like Zeus, some loyal internet followers have erected shrines to them. (pun intended after consideration.) They will likely never see a real one up close.

I've erected many a shrine in your name, oh fabled lady of sugarlessness.

Oh wait.

Oh god.
