Quoting: Nah-T We got some hippies across the street that planted a bunch of them in their yard on earth day and watching them do it all day long was funny because it looks bad. But for a anniversary, that sounds nice but not for Christmas. I thought it was a cool idea. Don't have to be a hippie to appreciate a tree. :) Thanks Chibbers - I am surely not a hippie - but she may have a point. Does your wife like practical, outrageous or thought-provoking gifts? I am going to pay a co-worker to play guitar music for my elderly mother for Christmas. She was at a an outdoor wedding and all she could talk about was the music, a guitar and a bass. The thing is, she would like anything I decided to get for her. She would also not bat an eye or complain if I didn't get her anything. I put the pressure on myself to get her something "good". you will feel it when you see it - the right item. pick what makes you happy when you imagine giving it to her.

But starting with her likes...I have gotten her stuff that go with her hobbies the last few yrs... That's why I need a new gameplan. why dont you promise her a cool trip that you two will make just by yourself? do something together. and plan and pay for it all. |

Quoting: SoCalGuy *CAUTION* on this suggestion. Sorry SoCal. First of all, there's two types of lingerie: sex lingerie (what men think of) and everyday lingerie (the kind a woman most appreciates). Sex lingerie is for Valentine's, not Christmas. Luxurious lingerie can be for Christmas only if she's mentioned it before. Things like $200 bra and panties, silk camisoles, $500 nightgown like you find in boutiques (NOT Victoria Secret - too mainstream and not quality) are something I'D appreciate, but I happen to know most women aren't into them for whatever reason. Well said! "The more you know, the crazier you look" |

A gift certificate placed inside some nice Christmas box for all day pampering at the SPA? 3. A gold charm bracelet or necklace? 4. Leather gloves? 5. Elegant money wallet? You may insert in there some cash to make her even more happy:) It depends what you can afford but remember "Happy wife, happy life". LOL If you are not sure, you may just give her a gift certificate to her favorite store, so she can buy herself whatever she wants. This way there won't be gift returning to the store after Christmas. Also, make sure to keep the receipt of your purchase. |

It could be the shabbiest looking thing on the planet, I don't care. My cabin...would be the ULTIMATE gift. As for your wife...The best gifts are always the one that show he paid attention. It could be the smallest thing, but if it shows that you paid attention to some miniscule little detail? You WIN. For example, years ago, I was addicted to "Lip Smacker." Still am actually...but anyway, he got me this kit so I could make my own...the little tins and all. I loved it! I'm easy to please gift-wise so maybe I'm not the best person to offer advice! |

Yes, and I can't imagine many people liking it unless they are hippies or planting for a special occasion like an anniversary, wedding or birth of a child. And you did just have a baby, but if you do it, don't just give her a tree. You might not always live there and think about all those leaves you'll have to rake in 20 years.

After it's done present her with a booklet of coupons you have made for her such as taking her car to get washed, doing dishes, running her a bath , etc. she will love it! |
