Wifey won't tell me what it is. She just gives me obscure hints:

It's about 2 feet wide. It gets washed. It does not go in the washing machine. My 1 y/o son will love it as well. It can be used outside or inside the house. It might use batteries. I saw it in a window while shopping a very long time ago, and mentioned I liked it (thats a crappy hint for you, but I have no memory of that so it's just as bad a hint for me, too haha).

What am I getting??? :|

Not a dog or cat - already got them. And she knows I'm not an animal lover unless the animal species and "goes well with wine" are in the same sentence.

We already have a pedal car...

Not an electric scooter. We mock the neighborhood children who have them :D haha

Oh more hints.
It's a two part gift. One of the pieces has no moving parts, the other does. There are no wheels.

AUGH!

Not a treadmill (we walk or play outside), and no beer gut. Just beer =)
Not a wagon, I guessed that last night. -> "No wheels"
I doubt it's a Wii

I told her i wanted an ipod touch, or an elgato eyetv. But im too humble to spend that kinda dough on myself. Makes me feel guilty. So I told her no for those. And besides... it's at least 2 feet wide.

A paper shredder.

It's in two parts, one of them has moveable parts, it is washable if your a clean freak and it doesn't have wheels. I guess you can have a two foot wide model... You could shred Windoze Vista like in that video we saw last week. :p
