[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2945943, member: 77077"][ATTACH=full]718419[/ATTACH] Checking my email two weeks before Christmas I noticed one from one of my favorite vcoins dealers. It was a purchase receipt email and thinking my wife must have ordered me a gift I quickly closed my email to not ruin the surprise. It was somewhat inconvenient not checking my personal email account for a few weeks but I wanted to be "good". Last year my wife logged into my vcoins account and bought an awesome coin for me that I had saved as a favorite. Naturally, I thought she had done the same thing this year.
