Leather is Traditional
Posted under Wife by Mike
As you may know, in my previous post my wife and I just celebrated our third anniversary. She and I try to incorporate the traditional gift giving that goes with anniversaries.
The first year was paper and we ended up giving each other books that we both had wanted to read. Our second year incorporated cotton and china. I bought her a cotton sweater made in China.
I thought it was funny…
This year being our third, the traditional gift giving was leather. Oh goody, finally something I can work with. My mind went wild thinking about what I could get for my beautiful wife.
So off I drove to our local “Adult themed” store looking for just the right gift. Arriving at the store I wondered around looking at all the various items and contraptions that people incorporate into their sex lives. There are some pretty kinky people out there.
While browsing the cases of leather goods one of the young ladies from behind the counter asked if she could help. I said I was looking for something in leather for my wife. I told her that she and I try to buy the traditional items for our anniversaries and that leather was for our third.
She looked at me and said “Ah, how cute is that. I wish all guys would do that.” Her associate behind the counter agreed. “Guys just don’t understand romance anymore.”
I was taken aback by their response.
You see, both girls were probably in their mid twenties, tattooed, pierced, and looked like they could kick my butt in a dark alley. It just wasn’t the reaction I was expecting from these two young ladies.
I made my purchase and headed out the door, laughing as I got into the car. Romance is not dead, even in the back of an adult sex shop.
Oh, and my wife loved her gift. She saw the humor in it. That’s probably why I love her, she gets me.
We used to do the traditional gift giving, but stopped and I have no idea why. It probably got too hard or we were just plain lazy. That’s hilarious that the sex shop gals thought you were “cute” with the romance. Here’s to 20-somethings being jealous of you & your wife!

You must be the last of the true romantics… shopping at the adult toy store for your anniversary. Sigh…. So sweet! Funny, I don’t remember noticing anything of the leather variety the last time I visited the…. ummm…I mean… I have NEVER been to one of those kind of stores!

Hubs and I do the traditional gifts too. For our 20th, which is also China, we sent our daughter overseas ~ to China ~ for 10 days. (no, really… it was a school trip). I got a set of beautiful cloisonné Fu Dogs out of the deal though.
Congrats on the anniversary and for finding ‘just the right’ gift.

It’s so great when your spouse ‘gets’ you – having fun is what it’s all about.
And what did she get you? Besides all the fun you had with your gift?

I’ve been in a couple of ‘adult themed’ shops. It never ceases to amaze me. I was always picking up things going “WHAT in the WORLD are THESE used FOR?!”

Arriving at the store I wondered around looking at all the various items and contraptions that people incorporate into their sex lives.

Don’t ask.
