Wife Christmas Gifts

[tinplas]

After years of perfumes and jewelry, I'm stuck trying to be more creative. Any of you guys have any great ideas? She's not a gun/outdoors person, so that's out. Just wondering what you are planning or any thoughtful gifts you've bought your spouse over the years

A vacuum cleaner and a new iron, if your insurance is paid up. Just kidding.

What's her hobbies man?

How about a gift certificate to a massage place (not the happy ending kind).
A nice long/warm fleece shirt in her favorite color.

I owe her a trip to a wolf refuge at some point. I was thinking of having a cool wolf etched onto a Yeti cup. Not looking for anything expensive. Just wondered if anyone had a gift ideas. Also figured it would be an interesteing thread. She's on disability because of her back so we tend to be pretty sedentary.

Brother did that one time on wife #2. Had just bought himself a top of the line bass boat then bought her all new kitchen appliances for Christmas. He learned his lesson and has been with wife #3 for many years.

She read a lot? Ipad? Nice slippers.... Ugg style boots. Nice sunglasses are cool too. I had a pair personalized for my wife.

The wife and I don't do gifts anymore... Christmas is about the kids nowadays.

If you buy her something to wear make sure it's in size small. I don't care if she's as big as a John Deer tractor there had better be petite size in that package!!

Hahaha! I think most of us here are probably pretty easy to shop for. All I ask for is ammo. I wind up with clothes, but I'd be happy with a simple box of fun.

Mine got a new dining room set.

And a purse.

Both kids are gone, so we don't really do Christmas gifts anymore. I'm sure that'll change if we get grandkids, but hope that's still 10+ years off.

Cash is what mine gets & has always been grateful since I started giving it.

Pull a Homer Simpson and get her that match grade pistol/rifle that she has "always wanted".

A fireplace insert that produces electric heat and/or flame-looking led display.

I think you're on the right track there...

My wife had lost a horse she adored to rabies (yes, he was vaccinated- but efficacy has never been studied on equine rabies vaccine).

I found her favorite picture of him, had it professionally edited like a painting, and framed... she's not the overly emotional type, but that really was amazing to her.

Another time, I found a painter that would make a collage of dogs we've lost over the years from pictures.

Find something that means a lot to her emotionally and she'll know you care about her.

lol that makes things easy for me, since the wife actually is a small She accidentally opened one of her gifts (came from Amazon, and she's an Amazon junkie) so she got one of her gifts early this year - flannel fuzzy pants. She loves the silly things, puts 'em on literally every night.

If she's really fond of an animal or relative that has passed away (or is still alive I guess), you could have a 3-D lithophane made from a picture.
If you have a 3-D printer, you can do it yourself (I've done a few), if not, there's people on Etsy that do it.

I know what my wife wants for Christmas but I'm still not giving her a divorce.

My wife loves things like that.

This year my wife has a cart full of stuff on Amazon & that's all she wants.

As far as ideas if she has a charm bracelet maybe a wolf charm for it.
If not get her the bracelet & charm.

My wife already told me no more jewelry, so I'm at a loss. For all praticual purposes money isn't the problem, cause if we want or need it we just get it!
