Just don't go overboard with appreciation and buy your wife a bigger and better shredder for Christmas!!! I still haven't let handsome, sweet hubby live down the first dating gift he ever gave me after we were first engaged....a metal card table with no chairs!
When his mother learned that he was buying me a metal gum ball machine (one month later) for Christmas, she stepped in and took him shopping!!! I ended up with the gum ball machine and my favorite....an antique, handcut, crystal wine glass set!
As the saying goes, 'Mother Knows Best." Also might want to consider the tried and true one..."When Mama (the wife) ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!"
