I got the wife a Kitchen Aide stand mixer for Christmas, but she wants it and asked for it. I also got her funky socks, gloves, music and movies she likes. We're keeping it relatively simple this year since last year we spent so much. (engagement for last Christmas)
Re: the Dyson. I've been wanting one of those, I hate the vacuum we have now. I just don't have $500 for anything right now, let alone a vacuum in a house with mostly hardwood floors.
As for the puppy? You'd be surprised how much space they can take up. Sure, he might be curled up right now but when he gets a little older he'll start to stretch out. Then they like to sleep with their body absolutely straight and legs out stiff at right angles. Oh, and they'll push against you as they stretch out, trying to make more room.

Then buy it quick before someone else gets it.

Jewelery always worked well for my exes...
But yeah, you won't have to worry about the Dyson being clogged by dog hair.

The little guy doesn't shed he has hair. It's why we got him, my son is allergic to fur and dander.

Very good idea.
I hope the pup gives you and your family many years of companionship and protection.

I like this. Bear claw pendant. I got a similar one in porcupine claws for my daughter. The right woman might also.

I agree, jewelry is great for exes, it's a lot easier for them to pack when they move out.

The Dyson
We have a Dyson vac here at work and I am usually surprised at its performamce, though I cant believe that management bought a $500 vac just for 50 sq ft of carpet. Wish I could throw that kind of money around.

I had a similar experience raising calves. If, when they are young, they learn that they can squeeze between a couple posts to get to and from Mama's pasture, they will never believe that they have grown too large for that. They will simply force their way through until at least one of the posts makes room for them by moving or breaking.

I'm here to tell you that a four-and-a-half pound poodle can push you off a bed.
Don't ask me how I know.
