What can I get wife for christmas?

A Pandora bracelet, then you can buy a charm for, birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas, works for me and its individual

 

gift certificate for a massage and a facial.

 

She's never really gone in for all that sort of thing. The last time she did was on our wedding day, and it was only because she was ganged up on by the alliance of The Three Sisters (my two sisters plus her little sister - I knew nowt about it until the day)

Its a good idea though, and I wish I hadn't left it too late, but I think I'd be hard pressed to organise it now. There's not much in the way of spas and pampering places round here (there is a spa, but it's the kind that sells cheap beer and expensive groceries), and I fear that the few places that are in the area will be winding up for christmas by now.

 

how about a bed and breakfast, very posh , romantic in another town, where a spa is also for her. to take her away for a long weekend. So she can get a break from being a mom, to being a pampered women . and don't say short noice. Just go on line to bed and breakfast .com look for local driveable town that is pretty, find a bed and breakfast there, look at pics. call them , give them your credit card number to hold the weekend date. ask them if in town there is a massage /facial thing there, book that . They can send you confirmations via email. Then get one of her sisters to baby sit the weekend. done.

 

Okay, thinking again, jewellery or how about a watch?

 

Gift vouchers or a nice crisp £xx note so she go to the sales and choose something she likes.
Or -
Hammer drill, circular saw, flame gun, wheelbarrow.....

 

I knew I could rely on you lot to rescue me

Some excellent ideas in here, and I think I know what I'm going to do now.

In town, we have Boots (for pampering gear), Thorntons (for chocs), and a few jeweller's shops. I reckon I'll buy a selection of different things for her.

I like the spa day and weekend away ideas too, but we're on a tight budget this year, and knowing wife, she would ask awkward questions if I spent too much. I know that sounds like an excuse from a tight wad, but its the truth

 

sharing. but first to say, we do not have children.
It has been the tradition in our home to get each other a lot of gifts at Christmas. Up to 20 gifts each to open that morning. Harder these past 5 years or so, cause we have enough stuff.
But for the first 19 years it ran true. This year I have for hubby only 5 gifts. He has for me 8 gifts. have a few days to find more.

 

A nice modern Steam Iron along with a new Steam Mop

On the other hand
Boots are doing a No7 luxury care kit, reduced from £134 to £32
Well it is £32 now was £66 but states on the box contains £134 products value

I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like a bargain

 

Me and Miss Jiff don't do gifts, but what we do is, if there is any you like you buy it for your self, and say it's my Christmas gift, or if the tv is no good buy one for the both for you etc

 

Hows about a Locket with a couple of pics of your 2 lovely boys in it....something for her alone to treasure

 

Hi

Some good ideas from everyone , what does she really like that she thinks no I coudnt have that every-time you have been shopping , but not to late ..... if you get a move on .... sales have started already a bonus leaving it late

Buying a selection is a good idea Clueless. It improves the odds on finding something Mrs C will like.
