Christmas ideas - Help

Post by Victor Meldrew » Wed Nov 21, 2018 8:56 pm

What do you buy for a woman who has everything she wants?

I have asked and it is always the standard "I don't know, I'm not really needing anything"

Please share ideas for buying something for your other half...

So far she is getting a book (Michelle Obama) and a bottle of wine..

Concert tickets? Or tickets to a show?

An experience of some kind or a cooking lesson with a known chef?

If you can get it- Dyson Complete hair styler.
Fcuking extortionate but it will apparently score high brownie points. I have it ordered with a fairly vague delivery in 3-4 weeks so may be a gift for next year. :?

Oooooh... you could be on to a winner there...

edited: fcuk no.. not at £600 for a fancy set off curlers... or £400 for a hair drier, she would literally beat the sh*t out of me if I spent that much on a hairdryer.

£450. :roll: I could get the one at £399 but apparently you need to spend the extra £50 to make it worthwhile

Don’t worry I will get the valve back in spades next time Im looking to buy a new car. :D :wink:

If she likes Gin then how about a Gin subscription?

The one that Sandra gets can be specified to your gin consumption (monthly, quarterly etc) and comes with a magazine with various recipes and snack like goodies to go with the gin.

Only issue is that your weekly shop may go up - fridge was packed with pink grapefruits when they recommended it for a recipe !!

New ironing board. Serves her right for saying she doesn't need anything.
