I bought my wife and daughter size 13 mens LeBron James and Dwane Wade Basketball shoes for christmas at Dick's Sporting - Along with the return receipt... They were estatic! After they were returned, they got to buy whatever they wanted (and did yesterday).
I've learned not to buy clothing for the women in my life!
I read a story once about a fellow who bought a dress for his wife -- 2 sizes too small -- but he had the clerk hold an identical dress in his wife's correct size... she loved the dress and loved that he thought her smaller than she really was....
No go, wifey is too astute. Pandering will get me killed, chopped into little bits and stuffed into the septic tank. She is a chemist and knows what CSI doesn't show. There will be no evidence... I'll be toast.

(But for now, I think she loves me! maybe).
