It's time for last minute purchases... What do you think of giving a fishing reel ? My wife does not fish. This came to my mind because I got a kitchen scale last Father's day.  |

with pink or lavender side plates, and pink fishing line, just make sure your will is in order..... I got my wife a Dyson vacuum for christmas one year, but it really was what she wanted......

get a rod AND a reel. now, that says love!!!!! Just make sure it's a small reel, just in case she decides to whack you on the side of the head . Also, try not to mount it, she doesn't need more leverage. |

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

You guys are indeed brave! I like Sal's advice best - Don't give anything that can be used as a weapon.  |

I don't know about mother's day, but I took my wife to the Fred Hall Show on Valentines day. She was relucant at first until she learned how to pitch bait and won several T-shirts from Okuma for her loving husband (me). Man, that girl is a shot at skeet, and pitches accurately...she would definitely outfish me in any bass tourney.
