I could bet anything, that tomorrow morning I will have received socks / jeans / new wallet - it's sortof a wife tradition going on 8+ years now.
What are some gifts that you know beyond a doubt that you will get this year, because you get them every year?

I used to get a little surprise under the tree every Christmas Eve...Now I'm surprised if I have anything under the tree.
Just the way it is after 27 years of being married to the same woman.
Other than that: Turtles-best candy in the stores.

Get a desk calendar every year, but it's cool cause I use the heck out of them at the office. Also get golf balls from dad without fail.

I get my Sports Illustrated subscription renewed. It's been a standing gift between me and one of my aunt's for almost 15 years. It's one of my favorite gifts each year.

Ha! I actually packed it in a cooler and took it in the closet when the tornado sirens came on..., only two left. . Expecting more warnings later, so I gotta pace myself better!

I was 100% correct on my predictions - but I mistakenly informed the wife of this thread...
She has now threatened to no longer continue the wonderful tradition of gifting socks / jeans / new wallet, I hope she forgets this before next Christmas. I like knowing if I can make it to Christmas each year, I will be receiving my traditional gifts. I'm not sure she appreciates my pointing this patern of gifting out to her.
