I did that when I was putting up my deck over the summer.
I hate malls. Too many people and too many stores I don't care about. We have an outdoor mall here that I enjoy a bit. Nice to walk around outside store to store. You've probably been to Village Pointe haven't you Knapp? We were at Scheels today getting a bunch of fun stuff.
Do what I do and make the wife do it all. It's real exciting that way. When my Mom and Dad open there presents I have that look of surprise just like them.

Yeah, my wife did all of our shopping too. I just went out and got her things and some extra things that I thought were cool.

I even make her buy her own gift, that's a real treat to watch her open.

Mine basically does that. I get her list and, in the past, if the list isn't followed as is, I'm in trouble. That's alright though. I really wouldn't know what to get her if she didn't do it that way. She shops all year round so she basically has all she needs/wants. I joked that she should do the shopping for herself this year and she didn't take that very well.
Omaha - I really like Village Pointe. It's got some good stores that we don't have in Lincoln. I just wish it was on the I-80 corridor instead of up on Dodge. I like that ferris wheel in Scheel's. Gonna have to take the kid on that sometime this year, probably.
Not a mall, but I'm about to head out to IKEA. If you guys never see me back at the Cafe again, it probably means that some crazy family from Minnesota killed me over a parking space.

LOL, there is a reason for the term "Minnesota Nice" ... If you were in a parking lot, The Minnesota Family would be parked, see you and get out of the spot just to let you have it... then they would go look for a different spot.
unless you encounter Tiki... he'll run you right over...
