My husband pointedly will never, ever get something that has been requested. I find it better to just buy it myself and then be surprised by what he actually picks himself.

Good luck ... and early wishes for a wonderful birthday!

just in case he asks....

Leave some pictures of the machines you are interested in laying about where he will see them. That works for my wife... Best wishes and an early happy birthday to you.

This is the perfect suggestion.

Go buy a present for yourself. I buy myself presents all the time. I'm making up for not buying myself anything when I thought it was being a good mom by doing without. Young moms out there....Do not fall in that mindset.

One Christmas I had my eyes on a Pfaff, my first really nice machine. My husband is clueless about sewing machines and I wanted to make sure he got the one I wanted. I laminated the brochure the dealer had given me and I used it for my husband's placemat!!! I got my machine.
