The Savvy website was showing five engine skids in stock on Sunday. I asked about my backordered skid and was told the skids would be being shipped soon. Mine hasn't been backordered more than a month, though, so I might be further down in the queue.

Got my wife a vacuum for her birthday one time. She loved it.

My dad gave my mom a small room air conditioner one Sunday afternoon for her birthday after she started singing happy birthday to herself when it was clear he had forgotten it. We ran out of house to Kay Jewelers and after pricing jewelry there he ended up buying an air conditioner they were also selling. She was not happy. 🤣

IMO, for something to qualify as a present it has to be something the person just wants or is a luxury item, not something that is needed (which the family savings account should buy).

Things like a diamond ring, flowers, a cool car stereo or home stereo system, would be things that qualify.

Things like an oil pan (because yours is leaking), a crown OPDA (because yours might start screaming), or a new dishwasher do not qualify.

At least this is my thinking that I've worked out over the years. Another example to try to clarify, I may want a new set of sockets or wrenches, but that is really something that I need and the family savings should buy. Not a gift.

But, if the thing is something the person will not be able to buy due to lack of money and they need it, then a lot more things qualify as gifts. It gets harder as you get older, and I can see why my parents say things like, "Don't get us anything, we're fine!"

Exactly. My LJ needs wontons and fodeez, so the family savings must budge.

So where does a pellet smoker fall into that? Or an expensive pan set? An expensive mixer? A welder?
