    Is it too early for a Christmas gift?

    as I mentioned before, I want to give my wife a remote car starter for Christmas (I couldn't get it done in time for her birthday). She's away for the next 3 days, so it would be the perfect chance for me to get it done. Plus, it's already cold (by her standards, anyway). As xmas gets closer, the shop will get busier and it will be harder for me to get her car.

    But if I get it done now, then I won't have much to give her on Christmas- we're trying not to spend a lot of money since we just bought the house.

    Any suggestions?

    Last year I had put one in my wife's car and they put a little antenna on the windshield. I put it on at the end of November and she never noticed it. I gave her the remote on Xmas.

    You'll have to tell us if she notices the antenna prior to Christmas. I hate to admit this about myself, but I prolly wouldn't. Good luck.

    if it's small enough, she may not notice. If she does- I'll just act confused and say it's always been there.

    Lying is terrible, but in this case it is only temporary, is meant for good w/no potential to hurt anyone, and it's hilarious to boot.

    Thank you.

    I love messing with people like that, although I usually do it to my friends and my brother rather than my wife.

    not a bad idea, but I also need to get her a 3 king's day gift, an anniversary gift in Jan and a Valentine's day gift. So I'm keeping the jewelry option in reserve for the moment.
