How great is this? Reader angrypanda a.k.a. Joshua links us to
this update on his Livejournal, in which he shows off the awesome set of gifts his wife got him for Valentine's Day. It's a romantic gift basket, with everything, from the chocolates to the Linen Bag itself, marked out with
WoW-style tooltips. Everything looks authentic, too -- there's a
Bag of Candies,
Dark Desire (looks like the hit rating bonus got nerfed for the RL version, though), and even a
Moonberry Juice. And there's a "Jox (Horde) Shou" handmade craft in there, too -- those are their character names, Jox and Lykishou.
Joshua says he and his wife have been married nearly 15 years, and they weren't planning to do much this year (or so he thought -- here's hoping they had a very nice dinner and movie later that evening). Very awesome. Because the Livejournal seems to be hidden behind a content filter of some kind, we've put all of Joshua's pics in a gallery below so you can see everything all in one place. What a terrific Valentine's Day gift.

I don't think this guy is going to need hit rating.

Cute idea. It's nice when the spouse does something that involves your interests like this, and doesn't nag about you playing wow. I'm the wow fan in my house.
:-)
And I'd be lacking in my first poster duties if I didn't say FIRST just because... lol.

Awesome idea although looks like he wasn't lucky enough to get Peddlefeet pet either. No achievement for you. QQ

Well, damnit, it was first when I typed it... :-)

Some mistakes I see, is that the bag of candies have way more than 10 charges and the 6 slot linen bag is holding more than 6 items.
Awesome gift though, I wonder what she will get him for the next festival? Perhaps we should come up with some ideas?

Next major holiday is Children's Week.

I'm not placing bets.

This was the sweetest, most imaginative, and coolest thing I've ever seen.
That is one lucky man. :)

That's cute. My girl doesn't play WoW but at least she respects that I do. For Christmas/Birthday/Valentine's day she got me a 16gb iPod Touch gen: 2 with a personal engraving on the back that says, "I lover yous so much it's epic. FTW!" I never let it leave my sight lol

Just remember that the "Marriage" debuff renders that item unusable.
Tricia Feb 17th 2009 11:59AM
That was so cool!

Did she get that in Dalaran? Cause there was this creepy troll back behind a mailbox trying to sell me one of those the other day. And while I'm all for 'a hole is a hole'.. I just couldn't get past those tusks... OUCH!
:D

That's ADORABLE. I wish I'd thought of that! My boyfriend and I both love WoW (and each other...awwww
Teeka Feb 17th 2009 12:29PM
Bah, my less-than-three heart screwed up my comment. XD Was gonna say this would have been perfect! Hehee! ^.^

What a wonderful and thoughtful gift! He's a lucky guy.
KRaid- Feb 17th 2009 3:13PM
I don't know what is luckier, having someone that considerate, or managing to get a bag of candies.
