"How many christmas trees does your wife want?" "An all year around christmas tree?" That's what it would be if you give her a tree for Christmas, a freaking Christmas tree. lol, you really hate that tree idea don't you? 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. I have to agree with Nah here. Sorry Beeches, love ya! A tree would suck. Now, getting a tree for memories like in the spring or something, that would be unexpected and awesome, but for Christmas? NO, no, no, no. Get her something tangible, like in her hand, that she can use. Runningwithscissors <3 |

Quoting: Kinga Nice stronger fragrances: - Sisley "Soir De Lune" (My favorite) - Guerlain "Samsara" - Dolce & Gabbana "Desire" Nice lighter fragrances: - Christian Dior "Dorrissimo" - Jean Patou "Joy" - Chanel "No 5" 2. 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. Thanks for the suggestions. It helps because I know nothing about womens perfume...or the names. lol Thanks! Chanel No. 5 is so soft and lovely (light powdery scent) anyone would like it, so it's a perfect gifted luxury scent. It's also a classic. You are right about Chanel No. 5 and actually I wanted to add that you can go no wrong with this perfume but decided against it because some woman like stronger scents. Nonetheless, it would be probably the safest choice. BTW, Chanel No. 5 was favorite of Princess Di. |

User ID: 28167778 United States 12/15/2014 07:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... 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? Just trying to nudge you into a category of what she might like. 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. What a beautiful, thoughtful gift! Your mother is going to LOVE that. AG, thanks for saying that!
