One year I let my wife fix me a sandwich.

Hard to believe I am not married any more.

A vaccuum and a mixer for the kitchen. If she gets bored cleaning, she can go cook.

Remo · 12-12-2013, 02:00 PM

$$$$ tell her to buy her own!! I am sure I will join Tom in the ex category, did that once already though, current wife is the bomb!!!

I'm horrible at gift buying as well. I would be just fine giving her some money or a gift card to a few stores and calling it good. But noooooooo, she wants thought put into her gifts, ugh.

Fortunately, my wife posts on a parenting board fairly regularly and the ladies had a thread going about what they wanted for Christmas. I've gotten her a new pair of Oakleys that she's been wanting and will get her some clothes as well. Maybe something to hang her jewelry on too.

I learned a long time ago and have kept it at the front of my brain when considering Ho-Ho Day gift ideas for my wife: No kitchen appliances and NEVER house cleaning equipment.

It doesn't matter how good of a deal you found on that normally $800 Dyson vacuum. Mama wakes up to a vacuum under the tree with her name and a bow on it, My a$$ would be gator food.

Of course, there is always an exception to every rule. I imagine there are some foodie or culinary industry wives out there that would love a new knife / knife set or a bad-a$$ stand-up mixer.

tsolomon · 12-12-2013, 04:04 PM

I let my wife shop for her own gifts to put under the which means clothes and shoes. That leaves me to pick up one or two gifts to surprise her with. I will look into perfume, jewelry, music and other things I know she wants but won't buy. The hints come all year long, but it getting harder to remember them when needed.

Dave128 · 12-13-2013, 01:50 PM

Scrub brush. knee pads, pots/pans and a vacuum are all out. She cut my nuts off for sure.

She already bought herself a new bottle of her favorite perfume, so that's out.
I may have to go with a picture of some sort and a spa gift certificate.
I was also thinking a weekend in NYC to dinner and a show.
Jewelry is always a decent back-up plan.

Don't stop.....keep the suggestions flowing!

I used to spend hours shopping and then started getting her gift cards so she could pick her own present. Last year the wife said was the best present I ever got her. I took her shopping on the 23rd. No I didnt set in the pub while she shopped. She got my opinion on her purchases and said we had some great talk time. Either way she was happy and that was what it was all about.

czerbe · 12-13-2013, 02:01 PM

I vote you get her a Plane... and a Donkey.... and maybe one of those little tiny Thimbles... I got nothing sorry I suck at gifts.

Taki · 12-13-2013, 02:22 PM

Well my idea for my wife (because I am broke this year) was to find a picture of my wife and daughter and sketch it out in black and white / charcoal and get it framed for her as sort of a unique gift. All the other years she has gotten jewelry and spa days and all that comes and goes but I figured if I can do this (because I went to art school) it would be something I could have framed and hung somewhere in our house

Problem is, I haven't started it yet and I have no good pictures of her and my daughter that I would really care to draw (I am picky as $hit)

anyway...its different and unique and something I can say I did

Col. Kurtz · 12-13-2013, 04:53 PM

Thanks for the ideas gents

MUNKY · 12-18-2013, 08:33 PM
