I'm trying to be original by asking what others are getting or have gotten.

Gift Cards and/or Cash. They always worked for me. Jim

I'll be watching this thread closely.

We could all do like EVIL, and get em an engagement ring...

It may sound strange, but this year it will be 10 pigs and 3 hectares of rice fields. It will be a Christmas present to both of us.

Or maybe you want some tips about things you can have in a gift box?

 

[evil_motors]

yeah you all know what i got my woman.. lol i also got her a new microwave and a jacket she has been eyeing.

I got the Boss some new mirrors and some nice seat covers for the Wrangler. She wanted one of those Buxton bag purse thingy's they sell on TV, so I got it to.
Still have to get the shiny little expensive thing yet. Been waiting for some good sales in the Jewelery depts, which one store is having 70% this weekend.

I've gotten her massages or make overs in the past, those go over pretty well.

If money is not a problem, you should take her to Paris, France. Many women dream of romantic Paris.

If I look at my wife as she is more on experiences than things, she like travel, SPA and such.

Pretty shiny stuff always seems to work best.

Well, I'm not sure how well Paris would work, she isn't crazy about France (and yes, she as said this before although I have no idea why). I can't do the romantic things so much since the guy she dated years ago would always get her that stuff when he did something stupid so anything I get her flowers, etc, she expects the worst.

No win situation, 355. If I brought home flowers or something, she'd be wondering too. :shrug:

 

[Munken]

Agree with you Big_kid.
When the bouquet of flowers change from "I love you" to "I done something bad", there is no turning back and flowers never works again. :?

Unfortunately in my case the bouquet of flowers is a metaphor that covers a lot of different gifts. But she does like bacon, the pigs just may work.

Yepp, the first time they get flowers:"how sweet of you my little hug bear", and they hang it upside down to dry and save. Second time: "don´t you have any fantasy", it stand one week on the table without water.
Third time: "Don´t you have anything better to waste your money on", and the morning after it´s in the bin. :shock:

Pigs are good, for a lot of years ago I gave a girl a pregnant hamster for Christmas. Two days later, she had 14 :thumbup:
I have also given, a goat, a duck, a rooster, a rabbit, (all live) most for birthdays . And, No I´m not a farmer.
As for what to give, your imagination is the limit.
But I'll see if I can think of something more.

Any money we were going to spend on each other we already spent on our kids, but I'm sure I will get her a little something. Probably something shinny for her to wear. :shhh:

 

[tedanderson]

I'm going to mount her plasma on the wall for Christmas and hide all of the wires. She's a real electronics and gadget freak... ahem.. enthusiast.. (and you guys better not tell her I said "freak") and she has this big ball of spaghetti surrounding the TV and other components. I think I am going to install some floating shelves on the wall to make everything look nice and neat. She's going out of town on business this weekend so I am going to try to sneak over there and get it done so it can be a surprise when she gets back.

Do you going to ask her too? :thumbup:

I once worked with a guy who discovered this about his wife the hard way. We were carpooling one day and on the way home we saw a guy at the traffic light selling flowers. I said, "You ought to do something spontaneous and get your wife some flowers." He said, "Yeah! That's a good idea!"

That night he had to sleep on the sofa because she was determined not to forgive him...for whatever it was he did, might have, could have, or possibly have done. :shock:

Got my girl a carheart winter jacket.
She was sick of having her pretty white jacket constantly dirty.
So I got her a tough jacket that she does not have to worry about getting dirty.

I was thinking about adding another cat to our family, but I'm not so sure about that.

No shiny rocks for her this year. I can't afford it.

 

[Jasen]

I got the little shinny expensive thing today.
I should went to the grocery. I coulda got a whole truck load of carrots for what these 2 little 1/2 carats cost :rofl:
