I have absolutely no idea what to buy my wife for Crimbo this year. She is 39 (she says). Any ideas ? Being sensible is optional.

Ask her. If she says she doesn't know then it means she wants a Playstation 3. Wink

Ask her...

...and when she says "nothing" that's exactly what you give her

...then as New Year comes around, you'll find that she's giving you a divorce Laughing


39 you say....mmmmm

You could always buy her this ...then duck and run for cover Laughing

I'll save you the trouble of asking for her next birthday - try this book


On a more serious note:

What's your budget?

Whale watching (Comarty, Scotland), £65 - here

Name a star, £19.95 - here

Your 'Last Rolo', £29.99 - here

Flying alarm clock, £19.95 - here

Vince The Luuurve Hamster, £7.99 - here


....and who said romance is dead? Wink


By the way, you forgot to mention what our fee is for being your "personal shopper" Laughing

Something expensive always works well. If she knows you've made an effort like remortgaging the house, and selling a kindney, then you'll be on a promise! Wink

I know you said being sensible is optional but -
How can you vote when there is nothing between really expensive and cheap and nasty, sensible is missing in the middle!

If i gave my wife nothing and explained that i couldn't afford it she would except it graciously and not hold it against me, however, i do buy her a present.

Does your wife like anything sporty, those day out packages from Smiths are good, a day as a racing driver (like you), bungee jumping, or gliding might go down well and you can always get a free day out yourself away from her while she is doing it.

My wife and I aren't giving each other anything 'big' this year and haven't for the past few years...we have each other, so what else could we possibly need? Love it Love it Love it Love it

...as long as the kids get what they want, that's enough to break the bank these days...not like it was when I was a lad!!

...and we buy each other things during the course of the year

Fruit in the stocking and ONE main toy.

Today the electrical toys cost a small fortune and what ever you spend there is always a friend with something better.
It surprising the amount some parents spend these days.

You were a spoilt little bratt Wink

It should have been fruit OR toy Rolling Eyes

Oh, how the other half live Laughing


Yes, toys are getting more expensive and some parents don't seem to know when to stop

The Queen's speech at 3pm, Christmas dinner, too much alcohol and really awful jokes in crackers haven't changed though Thumbs Up

Wrong order -
Start Christmas morning with a very expensive vintage port laid down the day before, it makes the boring Christmas dinner look better and then the aweful jokes are hilarious.

Queens speech - you are sad.

No, I'm quite happy actually Wink

The point I was trying to make was that the Queen's speech is still broadcast at 3pm etc etc, so despite Christmas stockings getting fuller and fuller of higher value toys some things about Christmas haven't changed

...except that we might drink more alcohol than we did when WE were kids Laughing
