"my Dad and I didn't see her until New Years"
Tiny bit of exaggeration there, LOW? 
I was seven, and Christmas was fast approaching. I'd been saving my pennies in order to buy a really special gift for my mom, but I was at a loss as to what to choose. Then, in the back of a comic book, I saw an ad for a, "bullet vibrator." The ad showed a woman holding the product to her cheek and clearly experiencing a state of absolute euphoria. The text of the ad promised the vibrator would, "ease tension, reduce stress and relax tight muscles." Exactly what my mom needed.
On Christmas morning, I held back my mom's gift until last; the anticipation in the room becoming almost palpable. Finally, with all the appropriate fanfare, I presented my mother with her Christmas gift. When my mom opened her present, she was speechless; clearly overcome by the effort her son had made in finding her such a perfect gift.
Concerned that my mom might not know exactly how to use such a cutting-edge device, I grabbed it from her hand saying, "Here, Mom, I'll show you how to use it." My mother's face went ashen. I began rubbing the vibrator's tip across my neck and face, and explained, "See, Mom? It relaxes and soothes." Slowly, my mom's color returned and her breathing resumed, her initial excitement coming under control.
I was very proud of the gift I gave my mom that year. I think it may have been the best I'd ever chosen. It was clearly a hit; my mom locked herself in her bedroom with it, and my dad and I didn't see her until New Year’s.

Great story, LOW.
Romantic that I am, I recently gave my wife a dolphin vibrator for our 33rd anniversary.
In a related development, I've been seeing "batteries" on her shopping list a lot lately.
That is absolutely hilarious!

That add still brings me to a favorite fantasy. In the add the vibrator was allways placed against the cheek. I grew up wondering what a BJ would be like with it held there.
for the ladies. Now they didnt have to stay with the laundry through the SPIN CYCLE !!!!
When I was a child and ate at a restaurant with my grandparents. My brother went into the bathroom and came out smiling from ear to ear, as he was baring a gift for me. He had already blown his up and said, look at what I just bought us, a balloon. I quickly unwrapped mine and blew it up. Of course both of us were waving this odd shaped balloon around in excitement. Looking back, that might explain why we had our meal to go.
It's still my favorite shaped balloon ~CarleeofArizona
