Please Make sure, Your D Day is not near any major holiday which involves buying present.
Having my anniversary in January Mid bites my wallet too much as I have to buy both Xmas and anniversary gift. Apart from that, figuring out two Gift for Mrs in tandem is too much work.
On a sunny side, when I mess up with Xmas gift, still have one more chance to make up to save myself from the Dog house for rest of the year.
cheers,
Super

My advice is let her buy her own present (or at least order it)...
Like my wife who the other day presented me with a necklace and told - 'I bought a present here so you can give it to me... And you see - you picked just the perfect one' - and we all happy...

We actually buy presents only to each-other when we bump into something we can't resist - and it is mostly way out of its time...
What we do in time (or as close as possible) is some romantic picnic/dinner for two... It cost almost nothing, easy to prepare (together) and feels good...

How about putting her in the dog house everytime she does something you don't like?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Like that time, years ago, when Her Highness commanded me to get rid of that computer, otherwise she would go? Well, the computer is still there. In hindsight, I have been better off with that computer.

By every moral/religious or social dogma and even by that malware that Charles Darwin put into our heads to endure this, I should feel absolutely miserable. The problem is that I don't. With all those priests, the law, the state, entire industries and who knows who else off my back I feel free and I sometimes had to make drastic use of that freedom.

Why? I have a divorced brother, who got much better (not that it means much in his case anyway) after that...
The religion I live by does not believe to bind together people can't live together... You should try but then if it does not work than separate... and try again... or not...

Trying to keep this KSS - put her in the dog-house? Then it's going to self-service for you, and indeed, I speak not of buying gas (although the procedure looks remarkably similar).
They win because, well, they got what we want to a far greater extent than the reverse.

Guess what's the last thing on my mind in such a moment. If she is so fond of the dog house then she can go there herself if she must. I can wait until she finally uses her head for more than just keeping her ears apart.

(Then again, maybe she does, and I'm making a big assumption here!)

Here's my advide to all of you thinking of mariage: DON'T!
Think again, think it through and then think of something else until you can't remember what were you thinking in the first place or lese tou'll end up wondering "what was I thinking?" (in grief!) for the rest of your life.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Wow! Xmas sounds like such a nice holiday. Full of such joyous spirit!
Glad I can ignore it.
If that options not open to you, consider the following "It's the thought that counts, but, cash is king."
