My wife wanted a book authored from a fairly well known watercolor artist for her birthday. It is not in stock in the United States. Not on any of the book store websites and nowhere local. It's been sold out and no idea when it will be back in stock. Well, far be it from me to give up quite so easily. I got in contact with the artist in England. I bought a copy from him directly and had him sign it to my wife with birthday wishes. It arrived today. Good grief, I'm an awesome husband! By the way, she forgot my birthday last month.

Not going to mention the artist name. Don't want this thread showing up if someone googles his name out of respect.

I opened this thread assuming your wife was out chopping wood, or took on a second job so you could retire early. To say I was disappointed would be a huuuuge understatement! laugh

The wife already has two jobs. I'm trying to get her a third..... After all, she just lays around 8 hours a day sleeping!

If your wife needs a job then you are not doing yours...

You can. It wasn't too overly expensive. It was just thinking outside the box and a little effort. A gift isn't about money spent, it's about the thought and effort put into it.

Good job.
Happy Birthday to your wife.

This act entitles you to a trip to the Sporting Goods store or trap convention or both

Good for you. I’ve been nominated for worst gift giver 24 times in the last 25 years. God gives us each special talents and I will never take my gift giving ability for granted.
