    Yeah go easy on that route. I tried to do the Valentine’s Day thing. I think a sporadic moment would be best. I thought it would be romantic, she said yes then ditched me a few months later. My friend is between jobs so I gave the ring to him and told him to just go pawn it and get some cash. I just wanted it out of my site and I know he could use the money.

    5 day trip to Kauai in January (sub-$300 flights :dennard:).

    I'm a big hiker/climber, so I really want to do some hikes while out there. She enjoys it, but not to the extent I do. I've been trying to drop subtle hints about maybe putting in some extra time at the gym, getting a good pair of hiking boots, etc.. She's in shape, but I don't think she's ever done a gnarly hike like I'm thinking.

    Treading very lightly

    If you get your gf ballet tickets and she really loves ballet there’s a solid chance you’re getting enthusiastically laid that night. I think it’s a great idea especially if it’s not something you’d normally do, ie makes it’s special.

    thinking of getting my g/f a FitBit. I want it fairly full featured. Definitely want an Altimeter.

    The amazon reviews for almost every fitbit are atrocious and they all complain about quality and the devices failing after a year.

    Anyone have any help on what to buy?

    Happy to help. Their warranty is great. I went through like 6 of them in the first year. I am pretty hard on watches and so I destroyed a bunch of them. Some from swimming with it or abuse.

    If she isn’t as hard on them, I think they can last longer. Just buy the extended warranty from where ever you get it.

    I would also see about getting maybe a series three Apple Watch. It has all the same functionality but can do more and I have managed to not destroy mine.

    Not really specific for Xmas but we got those things and I just told her that covers everything for Christmas.

    Win-win because I wanted those things too, but would never let her know that :grinch:

    My wife wants a bunch of random hardback books for some decorative nonsense, so I'm going to find like 100 of them. What's the best place to do this cheaply? Was thinking nextdoor garage sales, but I haven't book an actual book in a decade

    Thrift stores have tons of cool old decorative books for cheap. It’s definitely feast or famine though.

    If there’s one on the way to/from work it’s worth just stopping by to take a look.

    This is true for records too.
