Mr. Wonderful is kind of boring

I don't know about bringing his wife along. That might turn out even worse. I mean she'd have to know that it's a tradition thing and that there's probably stuff they "always" do and she wouldn't really get a say at all. That can lead to even more problems with hurt feelings and frustration on both sides.
It's sorta like how I am with my mom and brother. They have been tagging along with me and my friends when I go back to college for homecoming each year. Which is fine as long as they understand that we're going to do what we're going to do and they don't really have a say in any of it. They're welcome to tag along. Not to take over.

If a woman trusts her husband, she'll probably be okay with him going where "temptation" might dwell. If she doesn't trust him, there is really zero point in pointing out what is tradition or what's right in principle. Because there are much, much bigger issues in the marriage. Those can't be solved with logic.
Actually, why do people get married who don't know each other well enough to be in agreement about Mardi Gras traditions? Seriously!
As for Mr. Wonderful: if you're putting him in the drawer because you're bored, he's obviously NOT Mr. Wonderful, just Mr. One-Note-Supportive. 
There's plenty of ways to be wonderful without being boring - without resorting to being upsetting.

I was mainly referring to that Mardi Gras example, not to you, beatupplenty!
The doll is a sweet idea and it obviously gives you joy so there is nothing wrong with that, at all.
I'm not sure why you thought I meant to offend your marriage, but I definitely didn't intend to.

Maybe its been mentioned before, but why doesn't wife go out with HER friends while the husband is out?
How fun would it be to start a little tradition of Vegas or Disney with the girls or whatever it is you cookey married people do...

I would think a group of married people could go to vegas and have a good time splitting into guy and girl groups once there. There's so much shopping for the women. Guys can lose their money gambling and girls can lose their money shopping. The girls at least have something when they leave.

Yes, I know about the eating massive quantities of chocolate as well.

I'm sure everyone here is just shocked that you don't have one.
Facts are stubborn things.

It's up to you, but I'd include hair, makeup, shoes, fashion, etc all under the "shopping" umbrella.

Late 20's to early 30's. You shouldn't pigeon hole entire age groups. It's rarely correct and they could take offense.

Interestingly, this past weekend my wife and I were planning to go out into Reno during the Halloween parties. We got a babysitter and everything. Unfortunately, my wife got sick and made it clear she was not interested in going out.
Jokingly, I said, "that's ok, Honey. I can go out by myself."
I said it jokingly, because I KNEW what her reaction would be. I was CLEARLY just poking fun, but as usual her response was terse and serious:
"If you go, I'll have the locks changed before you make it out of the driveway!"
*le sigh*
And this is what I get for not having a fit for her 5 hour "all by herself" ladies night that she had three weeks ago. By the way, all of the ladies she invited bowed out. So she literally was out by herself for 5 hours, never told me where she went or who she was with and came home 10 sheets to the wind.
Life is awesome, eh?
