    One last piece of advice.

    Do NOT buy her anything. Don't waste your time and money. This forum is chockablock full of doting men who have great ideas about what they would love to see their women in. With almost no exceptions, the women associated with those nice men wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything like what we wish they would wear.

    Don't waste your time buying anything, only to have to return something. For God's sake, don't waste dozens of hours making something that she won't touch. ASK her first and then LISTEN and do not stray one single stitch from what she tells you or you will do nothing but outfit the inside of her closet.

    Anne, my dear lady, I am no exception. This year I bought the Luminous Joan three Christmas presents. The speakers for her computer are a success.

    However, both of the articles of clothing... both of them fleecey, lounge-around the house poly-fleece items (a vest and a pair of elastic-ankle sweatpants) were returned for being the wrong color. How "chocolate-brown" can be a "wrong color" is beyond me, but it is. The other item was....well....green. However, two years ago I purchased a blouse for her in a green that looked to me exactly like the green fleece vest, , and was thanked no end.

    Of course, the blouse was returned for not being easy-care enough, but it was EXACTLY the same color (or seems so to my eyes) as the vest that got returned.
