I love these gift threads. Let's see in the past decade DW and I have been married gifts have included:
Ceiling Fan - Mother's Day
Wheelbarrow - Father's Day
Stove - My Birthday
Dishwasher - DW's Birthday
...the list could go on. Guess we're terrible people.
No need to be defensive, I don't think anyone here cares what other couples choose to give as gifts. For me, I don't want a major appliance given to me as a gift since its not for me, it is for the family and or house.
