My princess would agree with you 101%.
You might like to look here[^]. They hand make choccies to order. Princess doesn't like dark chocolate which is what most manufacturers use when they make choccies with ginger, which she loves. Kennedy's make them to order using white chocolate. Not cheap, but she positively drools when she opens the box, smells them, and then, once tasted, it's non-stop until the box is empty.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

This Christmas we had a revelation here at Chez Vilmos. Mrs Wife positively adores Bendicks Chocolate Mint Crisps and has a 2-3 box/week habit, this is Not a Good Thing TM when you consider they come in around the £4 a box mark. Well I bought some Matchmaker Mints, for myself originally as I can't get a look in on the Bendicks, and she took to them like a Heroin Addict to Methadone. Now she's down to less than a box of the hard stuff a week.

Does that mean you'll have to change your username?
Because "DeathByLackOfChocolate" doesn't have the same "ring" to it, and a Stormtrooper lying on the floor could just be asleep...

(tear open envelope, pull out the card), and the winner is........me.
Yup, me (buffoon/plonker/dispstick/wally/wazzock/numpty/...)
I set up an Outlook calendar about two months ago to remind me of our wedding anniversary. Princess beetles off to work and gives me a peck on the cheek and says (affectionately, despite the ghastly error on my part) "Happy anniversary, my love, even if you forgot."
Forgot, I didn't forget, but Outlook did. I switch on my PC and check the calendar and sure enough there's the entry and the reminder for the day before. Why didn't it remind me? I'd set the reminder for the day before on the day it should have reminded me on. I got the email reminder for The Day but for tomorrow! The shame of it all. 
Stupid Outlook! Why didn't it have the sense to think, I'm sure he wants the reminder on the 9th, not the 10th. It's 2014, pooters are meant to be smart and reponsible for ruining running your life.

Ouch!
That's one of the things I hated about one phone - it would sync with outlook, which was good, but when you said "remind me three days before this" to give you time to think - it would do just that. And would remind you at midnight 3 days earlier - which of course wakes you up, wakes Herself up, and then you forget immediately you get back to sleep...

Well that's one thing I don't have to worry about. I'll never forget our wedding anniversary. If I did, it means I've also forgotten the birthday of my eldest daughter, oh and as it comes only four days after Mrs Yoda's birthday and the day after youngests birthday, I have nooooo excuse for forgetting.

You obviously have an Outlook Calendar Cranial implant. In your case, so many reminders they are like the proverbial London omnibuses.

That's a hard partying week. Also you get it all done in one fell swoop.

I also don't have to worry. It is easy to remember Little Boy visiting Hiroshima
