Xmas present/birthday for the other half

[plowsie]

Right well everybody is sorted for Xmas now :) except for SWMBO. Prob is also, her b-day is in February so I have to think of that too :)

I have a couple of little bits that I have got her already, I need to get some ideas for her, looking to spend in the region of £50-£100.

Sensible suggestions are welcome but all non-serious one will be laughed at as I could do with a laugh :)

EDIT: things like jewellery are a bit of a norm so a change would be good :)

Okay details: Loves her clothes and shoes - downside to this i guess for most women is that blokes don't have a great taste for their other half...

Make up - loves that.

She (fingers crossed) will pass her test third time lucky next monday so she does drive. I thought about a satnav, but really that will be a present that I would most likely nick sooner or later.

Isn't one for gadgets really - thats me.

Suppose a holiday is on the cards looking at all that I have just said.

[Lissa]

More info required.

What is she into? Does she have any hobbies or interests? Does she drive?

[Speedy Claire]

Is difficult to answer a question like that cos how do we know what her hobbies are? the sort of person she is? does she like to pamper herself etc etc.

[plowsie]

Yeah, thought that may be the case peeps, will update the OP a little more.

Before anyone does say vouchers, I hate doing it for those close to me, it shows no thought or a last option TBH.

[Paws]

what about a days pampering at a spa etc??/professional photo shoot/professional make up session..

[missyburd]

Make her something, it'll mean more. Don't ask me what though :lol:

Does she like riding on the bike? Something for that maybe? or is that unromantic :D

[Lissa]

That's what Pete and I do..................find something for the bike and then go halves as our present to each other:D

[Shellywoozle]

aww, making things is more meaningful anyway :D last christmas when I was strapped for cash I made my close friends a bag of goodies which consisted of homemade gingerbread men, and sweets

Maria

[plowsie]

Yeah, all sorted except for the missus, I wanna have an enjoyable festive time, so this months wages sorted all my prezzies out :)

[Tara]

Uggs are so expensive though :(

I know but they are so warm and snuggly - i won't be able to afford them tho.

Making things is great its so thoughtful too

[plowsie]

Uggs are cheap for Kayla, 2 for £15 in Tescos the other week. If you get the branded ones they prob are really good quality and don't wreck after a few months though.

I made boxes of goodies - truffles sweets and cookies for everyone a couple of years ago - they all loved it

why not buy her favourite sweet/biscuits/drinks and make up a pamper hamper

large box - full of bath goodies - bath bombs, mositurisier, new dressing gown, slippers,candles, book,mini champagne and glass, face masks and hair stuff plus a vouchers saying that for one night while she pampers herself in luxury de stress in peace and quiet you will be her personal butler(dressing up optional)
smaller box - full of her fav sweets/ biscuits/drinks/ mini bottles with a voucher for a weekend afternoon slob time where you will be her slob partner - put yor feet up and who cares about the mess
smallest box - now this is where you can stop and omit this one
its normally underwear and jewelery but it something small and meaningful
I have seen it contain theatre tickets cinema tickets a voucher for a tattoo etc. Howabout a voucher for dinner for two in a restaurant somewhere - with a voucher saying - that for that evening you will have undivided attention

[shonadoll]

Uggs are so expensive though :(

I got Ugg Ultras from New Zealand- £80 delivered, and they are the harder wearing sole ones.
