Last year for Christmas, I carpeted the bathroom. My wife loved it. In fact, she loved it so much that this year, I'm gonna run the carpet all the way OUT TO the bathroom.
I once put a crystal rose in a box with a steel ball bearing told my wife it was fragile 'she swore she never shook her gifts to get a idea of the item. Little suprise when it was in a million pieces christmas morning. She was so mad she wouldnt let me open mine til that night.
