Been told we are buying something for each other "just to open" !!

Doesn't need to be expensive and at the same time doesn't need to be cheap.

She was getting a slow cooker but we bought one last night unfortunately, mind you she wasn't too chuffed when I laughed out loud in Argos and told her my intentions

Still plan B is the coffee maker I've mentioned in another thread but I still need something a bit more suitable for the old girl, but what?

does she every go out on the bike with you ?
if so a new set of tyres because that will keep you both safe

I've got the worlds only woman who doesn't like flowers as she think's they are a waste of money!! and she's got a Pandora bracelet that she wishes the kids wouldn't keep buying charms for it as she's not a great fan of them (though she wouldn't dream of telling them that).

So it looks like a coffee maker and a battery powered gift

mickvp · « **Reply #18 on:** 14 December 2013, 04:16:25 pm »

why not pop into the salon she gets her hair done at and get her a voucher to have her hair cut and dyed/styled etc?

Failing that get her a good massage/spa day

locksmith · « **Reply #19 on:** 14 December 2013, 04:39:22 pm »

Nice try Mick, her mate is her hairdresser and she's got a pamper day voucher with the iphone I got for her birthday!!!!

mickvp · « **Reply #20 on:** 14 December 2013, 05:31:36 pm »

does she like bikes? you could buy her a track day, but of course, you know, keep her company

Gav · « **Reply #21 on:** 14 December 2013, 06:17:45 pm »

If she says "na don't get me anything bcus we buy stuff ourselves things that we like". Don't listen to it and get her something lol or else.
I got my better half a nice watch that I picked few weeks back. You won't believe how relieved I feel, knowing I don't have to go out on Xmas eve and panic buy like I usually do hehe.

A tumble dryer and two tyres for her car
