I Can Imagine This Happening With My Wife and I...

Years ago I lived at the Grand Canyon, AZ. My roommate and his girlfriend both came up with a great gift idea for the other: binoculars. They also wanted me to go with each of them (separately) to Flagstaff to find said binocs.

 In two consecutive days, I trekked the 80 miles down to a Flagstaff outdoors shop with both of these people, and the guy behind the counter recognized me on day two, with a little, "What are you trying to pull?" expression on his face.

 I frantically made "DO NOT ASK!" gestures behind my friends, and they ended up each buying the exact same make and model.

 Christmas morning, they opened their gifts and called me various names for letting them do this to each other.

hahahha oh man thats such an awesome story. parry's story was pretty funny too

My wife and I buy each other a number of small presents each Christmas in addition to our "Big Gift." A couple of years ago on Christmas Day I unwrapped a gift from her that contained a 4-cup OXO measuring cup. I must have sat there with a rather funny look on my face, becuase she asked me if I didn't like it. I told her no, we definatley needed it, I had wanted one of these and thanked her. Of course, I immediatly handed her a gift which she unwrapped. It contained . . . the same OXO measuing cup, only it was only the two cup size.

Ever since then, she keeps reminding everyone that she has proof that she loves me twice as much as I love her.

At the end of the day, the fact that we exchanged identical gifts really made my day. That easily made it the best gift I got that year.

Proving once and for all that no good deed goes unpunished!
