Another guessing game

This one is a little different from the other games.

Tracy and I have decided to buy each other the same Christmas present this year. These are the only hints I'll give:

1) She and I will share it.

2) It's not what a mate would normally give.

3) Not every couple has one.

4) It doesn't eat.

I will; however, tell you if you're on the right track. (Disclaimer: You don't get squat if you're right. This present is too damned expensive for me to be shelling out any bucks.)

You're going to build that new house? Excellent guess, Amy. The answer to that would be; eventually, but it ain't the present.

Is it bigger than a pig? Depends on the size of the pig. A piglet? Yep. A mature sow? Nope. (This is fun.)

And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Will you be using in mostly indoors?
If so, will you be using it primarily in one particular room?
Do you expect to use it on at least a daily basis?

Do you expect to be using it in the kitchen?

Do you expect to be using it in the bedroom (note: if the answer is yes -- and especially if it involves pigs in any way -- I suspect a lot of us are going to run to the hills)?

Will it remain stationary while you use it?

Do you expect to use it on at least a weekly basis?

I suppose you could manage a pig business with an abacus.

A piglet doggie door?

Ummm... I had a pig so maybe I can come up with something.

OK, is it something that the piggies would appreciate (well, would it make a pigs life more enjoyable in some way)?

Pigs aren't the most appreciative animals, ya know.

Um... Does it have anything to do with storage for a pig or a pig's accessories (such as food, etc)

Is it a garden for the pigs to root in? My pig would have loved a place where he was allowed to root around! He just did it anyway on the fly. Now my damn dog does it. You'd think there was trench warfare going on in my backyard!
