I like the idea of jewelry as a practical gift. Its nice for the ladies and its practical in the sense that it can be sold/pawned or melted down in times of need! haha

Joe, I bet if you gave her the vacuum say 2 weeks ago just cuz ya love her and it's something that makes her life easier at home and then something really different for Xmas, you'd be surprised at how it would light up her life and you'd find that she's not as practical as she has you believing she is.

Ive seen it first hand, I used to do snow removal. They can push ALOT, I pushed about 18in of wet snow one winter, the only problem was it fell over the top of the plow.

I gotta say I really respect Joes wife for wanting something practical,wish mine was a little more like that
I have only bought her three practical gifts one of which she asked for,a set of expensive pots and pans,the other two was two new cars which I was bitched out for buying
She's hard to buy gifts for so now I just give her my debit card and send her shopping

I have no comment....

You guys are scaring the fish away...

I figured I'd get a better response being nice to her rather than ask her straight up to make a deal with the devil.

Where the heck is that girl anyways?

Anything with a handle means work.
