Following on from Kids presents;
Wives...
Buying for my Wife is always tricky as each year strikes another good idea from the list.. so let's hear your creative ideas.
Cheers.
This can only go well, I feel.
Christmas is 2 months away. Worry about this in just less than 2 months time.
Cement bonded asbestos? There's even a thread that was just below this one on [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/wrapping-up-cement-bonded-asbestos ]how to gift wrap it...[/url]
haha , ive still got her birthday to get out the way never mind the christmas.
could be fun given it looks like ill be stuck in the caspian sea for her birthday !
A Loomybin scarf!
something personalised always goes a LONG way. Even if it's something cheap it shows that you've thought about her and tried (& perhaps failed) last year I got egg cups for the all the family with our names on, the year previous to that I got her a leather bookmark with a little ditty on that I wrote and then previous to that some socks with her name & 'mother of the year' on - it's getting harder & harder to come with stuff but all this junk I got off Ebay! Of course I get her other big stuff as well, my mrs is dead easy to buy coz she loves books.

We're going halves on a turbotrainer and an awning for the van. Will probably get her some poncy chocolates as well. Love how easy my wife is to buy presents for.
new lens for her DSLR, combined birthday and christmas. camera kit is as bad as bike kit for eating money....
I've just bought the other half a Spec Stumpjumper Evo, unfortunately its in a size Large and she doesn't mountain bike so is useless to her but a perfect fit for me. 😀
Oh well, a pack of tea towels again for her I guess.
My rad wife is very pleased that I am buying her some new knee pads and supertacky Minions. 8)
spending £50 max on each other and she had the idea of filling christmas stockings with the gifts.
its not about us , the 2 1/2 year old takes all the limelight.
Annual pass to National Trust / RHS / English Heritage? And some online (Quidco) deals means you can get some great offers.
A few years back and in discussion with the children, dropped some cash on some spa treatments/products nicely wrapped, boxed, with a gift card. Smug as bug
Then Christmas Day, still feeling smug, Mrs TC opened the gift and said “this is not an i-pod”, I looked at her, she looked at me, I looked at the children at which point my eldest said its what you wanted. No its not, I wanted and i-pod!
Anyway long storey short I was stood outside a shop on Boxing Day
Since then, I’m going to buy your Christmas present next weekend, what do you want?
Mine has asked for a dropper post. She spends all her time putting the saddle up and down when we are out so I'm pretty sure it will improve her riding and confidence.
At £200+ they are a bit of a luxury so ideal as something to be bought as a gift.
Sorted 🙂
A high end Kin Knife or two, not certain which yet
Lovely knives, lovely lovely knives
Lovely knives, lovely lovely knives
Worried...
A divorce would go do well at the moment.

Watches with interest...
... having been put in the dog house for missing her birthday pressie earlier this week 😳
32Gb iPad. Bought last night for her.

I guess maybe people are just a lot better off than me, but £500 for an xmas present seems like a lot. Or is it one of those presents that's actually for you? 🙂

Gave her that last year, can't use the same thing twice in a row....

It started out as a random convo a few days earlier... I then went to buy a Nexus7 but got the impression it was too small (screen size) so ended up picking up a bargain iPad instead. We'd actually agreed not to spend much on eachtoehr... but i'm a big softie in all honesty.
It's Christmas again
La la la la I'm not listening...
There's a chance that it might be a guinea pig...
Last year I bought Mrs Pz a race entry to a triathlon. Not that she'd ever shown any interest in one, but as she was just getting into running it seemed like a good idea. Certainly got an interesting reaction!
If nothing else it was a good excuse for a weeknd away, and we can both now say that we've ticked that one off the list!
La la la la I'm not listening...
Joyless much?
Have a look here http://emmyjane-design.blogspot.co.uk/. I make all the stuff 🙂
Or 2, just think one would be very lonely. Tell the Mrs. I really enjoyed meeting her last week.There's a chance that it might be a guinea pig...

Mmm reminds me of Xmas in Peru 😉
Diamonds and Champaign, or a wind up torch and a tartan knee blanket from the BP garage on Xmas eve..
Depends....
Piemonster tThese are awesome knives [url= http://www.tojiro.co.uk/store/category/tojiro-senkou ]lovely knives[/url]
If I've made the url thing work....
Gweilo, linky worked so cheers for that
It's a question of weighting as much as anything, must get to the city and have a nosy.
Last year was an iPad for each of the cats and an iRon for the wife - that's when the trouble started...!
Xbox, she wants the Kinect.
This year will be a cheese hamper. Yes you heard right. Mostly Stilton.
Our due date is 15th dec so she wants cheese for Xmas.
Sorry - double post.
Done and dusted here, she got new tennis rackets a few weeks ago and is having botox this weekend.
Small gift just as a stocking filler then some time away travelling?
Or a miniature pig...
I WANT a miniature pig!!!
What's wrong with something from ann summers. At least it'll be something to entertain you after all the pies have been eaten!
Have a look here http://emmyjane-design.blogspot.co.uk/. I make all the stuff
Lots of ideas there, thanks.
Boob job?
But have only budgeted for one this year.
The left, I think....

Last year was a set of Red VS One 745mm Bars and some Mallet 3's.
Birthday before was a Reverb (picked up at the moment she broke her ankle)
Last Birthday and this Christmas will be cheaper as I'm not working much. See if I can get a good deal on some Addidas Evil Eyes....
Mrs Seadog tends to get anything she needs/wants when the need/want arises. Pressies are a nightmare.
Piemonster,have a look at global...I got a five knife block from Costco..they're ace,beat my old sabatier hands down
I've been advised that buying my wife a new pair of boots would be a good idea. By her. That makes sense from my point of view as it eliminates any chance I have of messing up a present.
The only thing i have to do now is subtly communicate what I would like to her.Or just point her to my Wiggle wishlist.
I agree with janesy...Mrs cyclebiker would like a glass of red and a whole cheesecake as we have a due date of December 1st. .simples

The Wife is dead easy to buy for. If in doubt expensive lingerie, perfume and jewellery never fails.
Year before last she had a wormery composter. That wasn't / isn't as much fun as the lingerie, but ho-hum.
Double post.
I generally stick to making a list for the OH or I come up with something jut before xmas that needs chipping in towards so he gives me the money towards that. This year its some chris king hubbed wheels, they're sat at home waiting for me now!
Does she like wine? Does she like handbags?

use exposure joystick (after she borrowed mine) or a new helmet have both been communicated to me as ideas for her christmas.
