Yearly dilemma coming up – my suggestion of “no presents this year” didn’t go down well so I’m resigned to dragging round the shops / internet looking for an appropriate gift for the missus. I tend to hit the wrong note most times – so anyone here ever hit upon the perfect present?

New vacuum cleaner?

The list I’ve been given includes…

A flying pony
An ice rink
A polar bear
A flappy footed duck.

If you are going to hit the wrong note anyway, get this:

A new vacuum cleaner is the obvious, but if you tell us the lady’s interests and sort of money you want to spend, then we can give a better suggestion……even though a vacuum cleaner is a really good gift.

Diammonds… sadly i’m out of ideas after the last few years, this years was a diamond pendant/chain, i think i’ve bought more diamonds than Argos

It might be worth just asking your wife what she would like for Xmas , and then buying it, if the request is reasonable. The most fail-safe way to keep her happy is to just get a nice card, a small box of chox and put a reasonable amount of money in a card. Then she can buy exactly what she wants. Or look at her dressing table or bathroom cabinet and look at what creams she uses or perfume she wears and get her some more of that. Boots, John Lewis and Debenhams usually are the places to go for all that sort of stuff. (I’m a woman and my preferred option would be money and then I could choose what I wanted)

Well I did build a decent bike for her, but that’s the problem – I get her things that I’d like.
I could go for jewelry – which seems to work, but maybe something a bit more original. Flying Pony sounds good so far.

Buy her an iPad or a Kindle. Then if she doesn’t like it will find a good home.

Mr S has come up trumps this year. Was doing a bit of tidying and found a pair of these . Just thought I’d better try them out for size – briliant! Can’t wait until Christmas 😀

so I’m resigned to dragging round the shops

She’d probably like some enthusiasm from the man she married, I’d expect

I’d quite like my forks servicing, with bling kashima coating as I’ve got a nasty bit of scoring down one of the stanchions.

And a pygmy goat.

Flying Pony sounds good so far.

If you find one can you let me know, ta.

You’re one of them high maintainence girls then …

she said she didn’t want anything last year – no presents she said, lets just get stuff for the children and family.

Had Christmas at the inlaws where she gave me a present. Only small but I of course had nothing. That was a fun christmas 🙄 👿 😡

Already ordered some stupidly expensive Ugg boots for this year 😉

Easy

Tiffany’s

She go weak at the knees when she see that little blue box

And it doesn’t have to cost you a small fortune, they do have some reasonably price shinny things.

no presents she said

every year many dumbass men fall for this one.
I think it would be good government spending to pay for a Public Service Broadcast during November for education purposes.

Dr Killjoy, I presume?

High maintenance lol I’ll be expecting a huge jar of nutella 😈 or a flying pony…. Whatever

i’ve got some nuts for you Emsz 😉

i’ve got some nuts for you Emsz

if they aint smooth and chocolatey she aint spreadin’em.

This..What! it is an anniversary model dontchaknow..

Ok then..
Him

or him

Here’s a couple of the more realistic things…

A car
A walk in wardrobe

May I direct sir to the oft discussed Bravisimo advert that should be appearing to the right of this thread. This should ensure a merry Christmas for you both. Ho ho ho etc etc

You can’t go far wrong here either

How about an I-ron?

According to Mrs Feet she wants:

An Asbestos check of the whole house
The Utility room knocked down and rebuilt
All the woodwork in the house stripped and repainted
New bed
New carpets

I wasn’t impressed

I can confirm that this is Binners usual two strands of purchase I could indeed open my own shop….

…..or brothel….. 😯

I got the wife strictly come dancing tickets in feb!

christmas day i will be god as she will not see that one coming!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Buy her a tuning fork.

“What women want…”

What does she actually like to do with her spare time, rather than what do you like to do?

Pictures etc…

Mine is getting one of these for Xmas, and cannot wait 🙂

Nobody gets pictures except me, I’m afraid Yeti 😀

Re

A flappy footed duck.

Does this mean you will be ‘smuggling ducks’* in the house?

*See ages old flatulence thread if you don’t understand!

How about a picture of you Binners? We know you’ve tried them one!

Piedi….

No, I don’t know why.

We have got a technological theme this year, daughter: ipod, son iphone, me ipad, wife iron!!!

The perfect gift!!!
Apple announced today the launch of a new product that can be implanted into a womans breast and play music, the i tit will cost £400 and is regarded as a majour breakthrough as women are always complaining that men just stare at their breasts and never listen to them!!!

Kindle or iPad?
Seem to be the go to gift of the moment.

Jewellry rarely fails I find, unless you have horrible taste.

Money in a card is the worst idea I’ve ever heard, seriously how lazy is that?!

A spa day….!! That’s a nice present, something she couldn’t justify spending the money on herself on is cool 🙂
