What to get the Wife for Christmas?

Postby Micro469 » Fri Dec 15, 2006 12:53 pm

Usually when she wants something she goes out and buys it herself. But I want to get something that she'll like and be a suprise. I can't think well... my mind is full of teardrops, not much room left.

Adult toys, Adult lingerie are out
Regular lingerie is out.. I usually buy too large....Sh*t hits the fan...
She has enough perfume, just bought her jewellry for her birthday..
Appliances are out ... I do the cooking...

Help!!

Take her to a nice romantic getaway - no teardrop, no computers,no cell phones, let her decide when and where - no input from you

Chia Pet! Celebrating 25 years of being the perfect gift when you don't know what to get her - or have put off your Christmas shopping until late Christmas eve and the only place open was Walgreens!!

Oy...

I think my wife wants me to buy tickets and take her to this concert in April by some Dutch classical guy that they've been showing on PBS a lot lately.

That music makes me want to VOMIT, and I don't think I can overcome that fact to give it to her.

I think she needs a new iron, though.

And Rick, he said his "wife," so why the heck are you mentioning "romantic?"

An oxymoron if I ever saw one.
Here we go again!

What does she like to do? :lady: Wear? Favorite places? Dream vacation? Input, need input! (who else remembers what movie that came from?) Back to the topic, does your wife have a hobby, a collection, an art or craft she does all the time, a favorite movie? :scratchthinking:

That'd be "Number 5" from Short Circuit of course...

She's overworked, overstressed and totally wiped out most of the time.
Crafts and hobbies have gone by the wayside.... Dream vacation? It's just that...a dream. Something we both want but can't afford... :cry:

Could be just a nice picnic by a lake in the mountains, just doing nothing or hiking around without a care in the world. Sometimes my wife and I do something called "date night". Basically going on a date just like we did before we got married. It does not have to be romantic it can just be somethiung fun to do.

I usually go get her a gift certificate at a Day Spa. Massage,(hand-body-foot) candles, oils, etc...! The have a lot of relaxing things to do there.

This is CLASSICAL music we're talkng about here. I just can't STAND it.

And the guy is DUTCH to boot! I refuse to be entertained by a Dutchman!

I have no problem with Bocelli, because just staring at those eyeballs can entertain me for hours.

Overworked and wiped out?........you need to get away. Doesnt have to be a dream vacation to anyplace exotic.....just get away.
Shop around there are always bargains to be had. Do what fits the budget.
Then lay around and do nothing.

Absolutely, especially the doing nothing! Even checking in to the local hotel or B&B for one or two nights and having that massage (a couple's massage!) and ordering room service. Good for her, good for you, good for the new year starting out right.

Even I can relate to sleeping in late for two mornings, with nothing to do all day long... That sounds like a winner of a present.

The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
