We did the same thing with not getting each other gifts. We like to take our funds and pool them together to get one or two big items that we want. However, this year we went hog wild. We bought a new 2005 F150 Scab 4x4 XLT. This is the first new vehicle I have bought since the mid-80's. So far we are loving it, especially the wife (boss). She has paid her dues however. She has spent the past five years traveling around in our 1977 F-250. Quite a difference in the two as far as comfort. However, I still have strong feelings for the 77. Hope this new truck ends up running as strong.
