Gift Ideas for Spouses

Well, this year, my wife got herself a boyfriend...so I'm out of ideas too.

Sorry, a little bitter this holiday season. You know, they actually make pajamas for adults with feet...just like for toddlers. It's different. About $59.

 

Hm...I want to but it will get throw in the Background Lounge.

 

One thing you can't miss with- tickets to a play or concert.

For some reason nobody thinks of it during this time of year, but it always works.

 

Handbags baby!!

Works for me!

 

I will go ahead save Lamour a post - Implants.

 

If you're anything good at using your hands, make something.

I'm giving my significant other one of my pictures all framed up with a little special message. Sentimental, and different.

 

It would bring a new element of role playing to the bedroom.....

 

21' black snake bull whip..... Just like the one mom use to have.

 

Yeah? Sweet! Those adults without feet have been getting it good for too long I say.

 

I'm in the same boat. I've been brainstorming for something creative since my wife "bought me" 3 AR15 lowers and a new tv :^)
I've already bought some jewelry and the exhaust/intercooler she's wanted for her MazdaSpeed6, but now need something to stand out. I missed out on the tickets to the Andrea Bocelli concert.

 

Lastyear I gave my wife this really cool dustpan for Christmas. You should have seen the look on her face. It had her initials engraved in it. She had that look on her face because I gave her the broom for her birthday and she thought I forgot the dustpan. But I couldn't leave her just sweeping up the stuff into her hand so I splurged for the dustpan .

 

wow, lol. I must copy that, j/k. A friend of mine received a crock pot from her then husband(while dating). Her eyes started to tear up from the insult, but her mom said to finish opening it and there was an awesome ring inside, but talk about a mood killer.

 

Jewelry (duh)

"a day of shopping" (duh - be careful, a woman on a spending spree can make an amex black card blush)

Tickets to the theatre or opera (trust me, even if you're so manly you sweat 10W-30, you will enjoy the theatre and probably the opera too)

Something handmade. I made my ex-gf a very nice little box to store brushes in, just as she was attenting art classes. I machined that sucker from billet 6061 and had it chromed (insert Tim Allen grunting sounds here)

I've had good luck with the romantic getaway thing

Cell phone, iPod, laptop, media player, etc, etc

 

Vaccuum Cleaner

 

6" Clear acrylic strappy high-heeled shoes....

I think they're called 'stripper shoes'?

 

More the merrier. Shuts 'em up.

DVDs also get the job done, as she can watch 'em over and over... and I don't have to.

 

I'm thinking about getting my wife a torque wrench, so I can ask to borrow it...

...well...

Ok....

Maybe not a good idea after all....

IM glad my GF isnt into jewelery..I find it to be an incredible waste of money.

I agree on theater/opera tix plus I enjoy them myself.

But this year my GF wants a Macbook Pro so thats ALL shes getting.

Gift certificates to stores she shops in are usually a hit. I know I'd pee myself with joy if a guy got me a certificate to Saks that was enough to buy myself at least one pair of Louboutin shoes or a Vuitton bag. I'd have to say, though, that picking these things out on your own could be difficult unless you really know her taste and her current collection of accessories. Spa gift certificates are always good too.

Then there are women like my mom. She wants a .22 and would be pissed if she got any of the gifts I listed above.
