Seth Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I need ideas. I need to get the wife a nice Xmas present that's not the usual crap. Anybody got any brilliant ideas?

Flatland Shooter Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Still working on the list. So far have ruled out jewelry, clothing, perfume and purses. The list is still a "work in progress" but here goes: 1. Tickets to "The Celtic Woman". They will be performing locally early next year. 2. An iPod or something similar. She has an older MP3 player so this will be an upgrade. 3. A big fan of various TV series on DVDs, I plan on adding a few seasons to her favorites.

Ed Deegan Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Seth Get her gold... Montana type. Or Silver... Perhaps she wants a new Swingle Stack... Or a better looking husband (I still cant believe your wonderful gorgeous daughter is yours). I can go on all day. please tip your waiters and waitresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 iPod iTouch 32 0r 64GB. She will like it I swear. Then as stocking stuffers (cause while it is an expensive gift, it isn't truly complete without it) some gift cards to iTunes store. Get ready to not talk to her much and to fill in with the parenting void created by her playing with her new toy for about a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 most of the day spa's have 1/2 day / full day packages , for things like massage, facial pedicure -mud pack, kind of stuff. = just get a certificate and let her decide what she wants, You don't want to buy her a facial and have her ask "Why Whats wrong with my Face"!? Any way one of my lady Clients guided me to this and it is a home run in the gift department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Something you can tie back to a special time together. "I remembered how much you liked ....... and thought.... Gives the illusion you're a thinking man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txkid Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 My wife is Practical, big on baking and Organic stuff so I am getting her a Grain Mill Komo Duett 100 to be exact. I told one of my coworkers and she begged her husband to get one too. Some women are like that, and some like the romantic stuff. Anyway, my suggestion will be if you know your wife well it is not hard to get the right gift. I know my wife liked her present since I gave it to her yesterday. Since we are leaving home and coming back after Christmas and the mill weighs over 50 lbs. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdwilliams Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Not the usual crap... Hmmm. I'm not the typical chick so maybe my 'wish list' will be of help to you. Dillon press in 9mm (and/or any of the other goodies needed for establishing new setup ie., scale, tumbler, separator...) A new gun is always nice... New gun belt Ladies Harley rain gloves (ladies gloves - not small mens. My fingers are too long and skinny) Kuryakyn Premium ISO®-Grips (with Throttle Boss and matching highway pegs) Saddle Bag inserts (she's an older girl and her bags aren't what they used to be) A pair of season tickets to the Dallas Summer Musicals (or NASCAR - take your pick) A pair of season tickets to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's "Pop Series" Trailer brake controller for my truck, installed A Corgi puppy What means the most (to me) is knowing that thought was put into the selection. That is was for me because.... Doesn't have to be expensive. For that matter, if it's too expensive (especially if I know it's stretched the budget) I will feel guilty and won't enjoy it. Doubt anything here really helped, but, my list is now documented and I can refer back to it and maybe, just maybe, it made you smile and think a little more broadly. Good luck!

-JQ- Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 How about a Victoria's secret gift card? I do this every year or two. While you're there pick up something simple for her, too...but she'll think of you when she goes to spend it. The stuff there is really kinda expensive but I guess all girls clothes are...I can get a 12 pack of drawers for about $15...but $15 at VS won't go too far. yeah, 12 pack - that's one pair for every month! Or, how about a flat screen TV?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezco Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 By the way this year she bought herself an ultrasonic face scrubber. I think that is all it does and doesn't replace me some how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
