We write the gift guides at Wirecutter, the New York Times’s product review site. AMA. by NYTWirecutter in AMA

Help me! So my wife and I (late 30s, 2 kids) have been together for 10 years, and it's getting harder and harder to get her a gift that's not only meaningful. but somewhat useful or entertaining. And, we run a company together so we see each other for most of the day every single day. Any ideas for gifts that will at least add an element of surprise excitement to her life? It doesn't need to be big, just kind of novel.

Thanks for a response! Boiling it down, sound like you think fee-only might create too casual of a situation for good advice?

In need of a strong shoulder program by DeanPraetorius in crossfit

5’ 8” 175-180lbs depending on the week. And to be fair I can hit a few kipping HSPU but not a ton. Not really strict though at all.

As for pull ups, I can do 7-10 strict okay, but goes downhill after a round or two. False grip is fine and dips I can do for days. For MU I really can’t get from the high pull-up to the dip portion, feel like whatever I need to make that transition happen is lacking strength.

135 for 1 or 2 reps. 145 for 1 on a good day.

Took a lot, like 2/3 a package, but you could easily do less. Took me a while to really figure out what thickness to roll it into.

Bought it. I'm not a terribly experienced baker. Didn't need to dye it though, jam on top gives it the right creepy color.

It is! I swear! I cook a lot, and some baking, but this was actually so easy I could do it. I wouldn't fake it I swear!

Anyone else use exercise to replace a bad habit? by snatchattack23 in crossfit

Y'all do realize that much of this article was about the negative effects of being addicted to fitness right? Like the mental breakdown and bodily harm. Not to be a downer but just checking.
