Yep I'm still in work mate!

I don't know her so couldn't even make a suggestion.. to cover the full spectrum of womens personality traits I suggest the best of Enrique Englasas CD and a sexy santa outfit.

Me too, still in work - gonna print her off a voucher for a weekend in New York as have only bought her a CD and DVD!

McLannahan - 24/12/08 at 10:37 AM

I've still got that rocking chair

You can't go wrong with perfume, underwear, jewellery, health spa trip, theatre weekend/trip...

Good luck mate!

We'd agreed on a cheap christmas to save for the baby, so im ok (£3 wasnt all i spent though )

Films, absolutely no point, she has 1000's of DVD's (no joke).

She loves cars and would like an Exige, except that I'm £25k short and the Lotus garage is shut.

Was going to get her a flying lesson, but with work being so busy, I forgot to book it.

I'm sure our Hoover is bust, that may not go down well though and it may not be, if you know what I mean.

Dead man walking sums it up.

You mean she's not dropped any hints? You might be in the kacky mate.....

Has she got a sister? They're always good for a last minute call for ideas (if you can summon the courage to admit to her that you still haven't done it!!)

Good luck, let us know how it goes - title your post (not) sleeping on the sofa......

No ! Never !

I can't believe you haven't shifted that chair.

Maybe we should raffle it off at Stoneleigh for charity.

Winning ticket can set fire to it or smash it to bits

cd.thomson - 24/12/08 at 10:41 AM

don't worry, there is an emergency procedure for these situations which has already been alluded to:

Decide what you're going to buy her (make it something reasonably snazzy, like the flying lesson) then print her off a self made voucher for it

jabbahutt - 24/12/08 at 10:44 AM

they do a Lotus Exige experience day at Silverstone, not sure of the price or if you're near enough for it to be viable.

could look on the internet though and see if you could book it either there or similar circuit and put the voucher/receipt in a card.

If of course it's within your price range but if you were going to get a flying lesson and you say she loves cars it would be an ideal gift.

hope that helps
Nigel

She probably has dropped loads of hints.....

She has got a sister, I'll ring her when hell freezes over, which will probably be tomorrow morning

jabbahutt - 24/12/08 at 10:47 AM

here you go

http://www.treatme.net/experiences/silverstone-lotus-exige

they also do one at Thruxton but more expensive.

Bet most circuits do something similar and if you were to book it over the interent you could print out the details etc and put it in a nice card.

Major Brownie points if she loves the car.

Best of luck with whatever you do

Same idea really - but a Spa day would be good I'm sure (just phone them up and buy a voucher - then put it in a card)....

Thanks, but why do you think she wants an Exige ?

She did the experience day at Silverstone last year.

I need to get into town quickly and walk around aimlessly with all the other 'dead man walking' husbands

Even asked the kids would they put from 'Dad and the kids' on some of theirs, little money suckers refused, they think its funny

I have heard that garden planters make nice presents

lol

Time to part ex her for a cheaper model

omega0684 - 24/12/08 at 10:59 AM

Garden Planter! Man he's in TROUBLE!

fesycresy - 24/12/08 at 11:01 AM

I hope to get engaged, so I've bought her a ring!

will121 - 24/12/08 at 11:28 AM

Can you book a flying lesson on line and print out the receipt straight away and put in a card? or underwear, or really desperate bunch of flowers from the local garage!!

im still waiting for my gift to come through post last chance delivery!

as for work, still here we have been told its a normal working day and if we wish we may work through our lunch break and take that time off at the end of the day!

Fozzie - 24/12/08 at 12:12 PM

Probably no help to you at all, but my other half is getting me a set of air-brushes and compressor...

Failing that, and seeing as she enjoyed her Silverstone day, the previous suggestion of a flying lesson would be a good option...

If above is no good, then a bottle of her favourite perfume, and cash/cheque to spend on herself in the sales........

HTH, Fozzie

Good luck!

Kill 2 birds with one stone (oo, probably not a great expression, but you know what I mean) and get her a Spa day on the race track in Belgium and a Spa day at a health club

wilkingj - 24/12/08 at 02:10 PM

I have been sent Emails with LOADS of Ideas on what to GIVE my wife.

I get Emails every day telling me what I need to do where to send my money.

I have had so many emails I have now added them to my Junk list.

Trouble is, I think all these emails I get about this, are just after my money, and their products dont work. Its too cheap and offers too much in return.
I'm a sceptical old git!

Cheers
And have a good Xmas.

Feck me you guys are organized.

Don't worry about it I never get hers till at least the 20th December.
I once got her a toaster and still never heard the end of it. the kids thought it was a great laugh though.

She always casts it up, but then I get to say Yeah but it's a 4 slice toaster not just the run of the mill one.

Don't panic it'll come to you eventually. A spa day is always a good buy though.( for a woman).

My wife and kids bought me a Spa day 2 years Ago.
4 days in Belgium at the GP it was the best ever present
