i need some covert strategy to find out wtf my wife wants for Christmas..

i have ZERO clue!! i usually follow her around window shopping and snap secret pics of what she likes. but having her in nursing school..she has stopped going to the store. especially with me. (her store time is apparently too valuable to hang with my negative ass).

look at her browser history? hack into her amazon account?

You should know which stores your wife buys stuff at. Then buy a gift certificate for that store.That is what I did for my wife's last birthday. If u have a daughter, a sister in law they are great sources of info. If u r still lost, give $$$$.
The worst thing u can do is nothing!

+1 on that... or any family members she is close to...

My wife and I have our amazon wish list open to each other so we can spy on each other.

However like you (vash) I have found it very helpfull to take her to a target rich zone (mall) and note what she oooo's and ahhhhh's over.

Well i for one sent my wife to the day spa full body massage and facial manicure and pedicure. If she is a student she is stress dealing with school and daily life.

I'm thinking you need to surprise her with a Porsche project car parked in her space in the garage.

No seriously, check out her browsing history for all the things she's been looking at on her computer if you can find out her password.....I just hope you don't find all the dating sites she's been on.

False. I asked my wife - she has no interest in Vash's balls sewn up in a bag.

Does she wear glasses? Go all NCIS on her and install spy cameras in her glasses or the buttons of her smock...

Wait a minute... did you say nursing student?

How about a wood chipper?

I think I'm going to get my wife's car detailed and throw in some new floor mats. She keeps it such a mess and as storage for all the schit she buys and can't fit in the many closets we have. I figure, after she gets a taste of how nice her car is after that, she'll try to keep it that way. What could go wrong?
