The gift idea thread
 
well, I'm kinda short on gift idea's for the little woman. So I figured we could all pitch in of what we're getting for whom...

She wanted Gilmore girls, so she gets Gilmore Girls :pu but I need to pick up something else, more personal type. I was thinking one of those uber girly bath robes, but then she'll be opening this in front of her family and I don't want to give the wrong ;) idea. She just got a new phone, so that's out. She's not a big Chocolate or candy fan. She told me I could NOT buy her a gun... :(:fl
l need some help.

My brother-in-law always bought a rug. And when he unrolled the rug a gun was in there. Everyone was happy.

I'm sure she can use a nice end table humidor.

Really.. Gift cert. to a spa for her hair or massage or to do her feet. She would never spend the money herself but I bet she would like it.

Well since times are tough and $$ has been tight for the last 2 years for us..we've concluded that we just each buy ourselves 1 thing nice. That way we know we'll like it and won't have to worry about the other person.

Maybe you should have a gift you give her in private. The family doesn't need to see everything, you can even tease her...

Gift certificate for a day at the spa. Works every time. Plus, it also gives you a free day to sit around smoking cigars. It's a win win.

Damn I have to agree with Al, you give her a gift card to a spa for a pedicure and a manicure and a massage or whatever combination thereof you wish and the time for her to go and enjoy it and you will be top shelf

My wife loves her really really soft whatever-the-material-is robe; not sexy but if you're thinking robe...those are awesome. And certainly nothing to be embarassed about when opening in front of folks.

I'm at a complete loss with mrsreindeer. All she wants is clothes and basically, she's putting together a specific list for me because she has particular tastes and I'd likely do a lousy job picking stuff. Oh well, I gave her a big 'ol list for me in return. :D

Have been getting the missus gift certificates to a spa in Boston, massage, Pilates, whatever she likes. Got to tell you, she's gotten me some to the same place for massages, DAMN those are good back rubs!

brother: tool box/tools/good knife to deploy with
sister 1: those dumb sheepskin boot things
sister 2: goalkeeper gear: gloves/jersey
sister 3: painting paper, khols gift card.

Fiance just got easier.
