Title: xmas presents!!!!!!
Post by: teamonkey on December 13, 2013, 04:49:03 PM
we live in a small house

we have all we need, and more to be honest

even the kids have too much and will basically get cash and a few token wrapups

i dont know what to get my wife, she has perfume, too many shoes/boots, her summer clothes are bagged up and away, and still my wardrobe is half filled with hers, Oasis havent reformed so no point sorting out a gig weekend (plus thats not an xmas pressent thing) i'm planning a ridiculously awesome birthday present for her next year which is not a wintery month thing. jewelry has been done, as have watches. and to top it all off she bought herself a dyson handheld (was my trump card, beleive me when i say she'd have loved it)

help please!!!!!

Get a family doing present rather than some gift to keep.  Have a great day/weekend (or even more) out as a family and enjoy it all together.

eazy pezy, for the lady who has everything.  How long have you been married and therefore how many Christmas's has she looked after you?

Get a load of blow up balloons, number them one to X  (numbers of years married) . Instruct her that every time she wants you to do a specific thing for her  all she has to do is blow up a balloon starting at  number one.  Place it some where you will find it,  you have to ask her what she wants and you  "HAVE" to do it....  Paint bathroom, take the dog for a walk, cook a meal......let her imagination make any demand on you and you have to do it.  She kinda gets to make x number of "make a wish".

I have done this one, she started subbing me out, i ended up painting her friends elderly mums Kitchen.

The killer for you is, you come home from work after a hard day at the office go in the bathroom and see murthufucking Ballon No3 stuck on the bathroom mirror and you dread what she may demand of you.....  hope you get lucky :)

I have others  :)

Jack gave me 12 coupons last year and I thought it was really sweet.  On each one he wrote out what it was for.  Cutting the lawn for the entire season, finish the bathroom tiling, cook a romantic meal, a lie in while he took the dogs for their morning walk every day for a week...etc.  Little things that might seem silly to others but you think she'd appreciate...plus it saves you getting hit up with a request to paint her friend's elderly parent's house. 

A spa day is a good one as well, but you have to make it a spa day for two.  Either for the pair of you or for her and a friend.  Don't know about other women, but I definitely wouldn't like going in on my own because there's lunch and all included in the day and it's nice to have company.

Yeah agree with Woodsey, silly idea.  If you're going down this route, write the tokens out at least, that's a better idea if your intent of doing this madness

My mum is a nightmare to buy for also, she has literally got everything.

Got her this bottle of whiskey with a personalised label, and she loves a drop so seemed like a nice idea, I know she will like it.  :)

Too late for order for Xmas now though.

Ok, you won't be keen on sleeping on the pavement at Wimbledon for the tennis then giving her your place in the line first thing in the morning, she watches you go home. (She loves Tennis, I hate it).  So here is another but again requires a little effort, so  probably not of use :)  Get a pack of playing cards, using just the 52, write a message on each one, she takes the present to work and once  a week reads one puts it to the back of the pack, until the next week when the next message is revealed.  :)  Need any help on the messages or use of sharpie :)

You ended up painting some old girls kitchen!  That's hardly showing the love of your life how much you love her.  I liked the idea, but you need to draw the line somewhere.
