My wife bought me a trivet.  She does this every year.  She buys me one gift which I cannot, for the life of me, understand.  This year it was a trivet.  Last year she got me a subscritiption to a magazine I don't read.  The year before that she bought me a belt buckle.  It was a nice sterling silver belt buckle but it looked like any belt buckle that would come with a belt--but it cost a lot more.

I always get what I want, cos I give 'em a list of the stuff I want.

It's a long list, that's the key....

I got a North Sea Clothing sweater, which I wanted.  Unfortunately, my better half decided that 40 would be too tight, and got me a 42, which is too long...

Isn't a trivet that animal that eats coffee beans and poos them out to make expensive coffee?

I'd think that a trivet is a good investment. Keep it inside or in the back yard?

g-
"How does one actually come up with that as a gift???  What does that say about me?  Perhaps a trivet has an additional use --one with which I am not familiar?

She bought it for herself.
Now you go on and be a smart boy and buy yourself that really nice treat you have always wanted and give it to give her on her birthday.
Be sure the store does not accept exchanges or returns.
