Look at the great present I got from my wife for my birthday. Three of Chuck's ties, and a "coupon" for one pair of new shoes. Now I just to decide what pair of shoes I want. Attachment 1246
Congrats, garfield, I like the purple tie the best myself. Shoe-wise, I will go ahead and suggest Weymouths, depending upon what your needs are. Seems to be the default.
We are business casual at work, no suits and sportcoats are rare, so the Weymouth would be too dressy I think. I was thinking of these C&J's in chestnut. Luckily, her birthday was about 2 weeks ago, so I already had given her presents to her. The purple tie is my favorite as well, my wife has seen me drooling over it before, so it was an easy choice. The other two ties she picked on her own, and I think she did a good job. Maybe Jill should start sending emails to wives of forum members with her tie suggestions for future gift getting?
