Hi guys,

I'm not really sure what to get the missus for Christmas, she has asked for an electric toothbrush and money for her driving lessons, but whilst I would make haste of getting her the toothbrush I'm not sure about the implications of giving her the ability to drive.

She can't have any clothes or shoes as she is pregnant and I'm a bit fed up of the cliched perfume act every Christmas (though I'll prolly get her a new bottle anyway)...


Are there any ideas people could suggest, one of the things I was thinking of was a romantic get away at one of those luxury spa type resorts. I think she'd really like that, trouble is I don't know any decent ones as I've never been before, any recommendations please?

And also if anyone could suggest some ideas for presents to get her as I really don't know, she's not really into anything lol!

She told you exactly what she wants, why are you making things difficult for yourself?

lol when you put it like that yeah, it's just that judging by the bags on top of the wardrobe she has got me a dozen or so things and I just wanted some more presents for her to open on Christmas day than one. But you're right, I do make things difficult for myself sometimes !

Ah I see, in that case a romantic getaway of some sort would trump any amount of little things she's gotten you, alternatively you could take the moral high ground and donate some money to charity on her behalf.

that's a very humbling gesture on the charity part. Though I think she deserves a gift herself in the physical sense. I was thinking a trip away to a Health Spa would trump any of the things she's gotten me as well, which is something I like to do! Trump her for Christmas gifts, means I don't feel spoilt :)
 
go to boots, 3 for 2. get stuff like soap and glory. bath things.

a new perfume?
books
dvds
try lush, they do box sets, i believe all girls love that shop.
or try bliss, they are expensive bath stuff that my O/H has pointed out many times.
 
If you can afford it send her away with a mate or two. It's all nice doing the lovey dovey time away but doing it for her and mate/mates is something she'll always appreciate.
 
I'm sure a spa retreat would be a lovely idea. Just be aware that as she is pregnant, they would need to tailor some of the treatments for her and some would not be possible to have during pregnancy. Shouldn't be an issue, but just to be aware!

By the way - not all girls love Lush... ;)
 
You could try a pamper day at the CenterParcs Aqua Sana in Sherwood Forest? That's not too far from you I guess. They do special 'Mother-to-be' treatments as well and have marked the treatments on their site that are suitable for pregnant women. (Not many to be honest!)

See here

thanks for the advice guys, i think i'll do what uta joker said and with regard to the spa may book in advance for after she's had the baby, I'm sure she'll need it then anyway!

I'll look into those mentioned, cheers ;)
 
Have a look on www.spaseekers.com (or might be .co.uk.)

They deal with hundreds of different spas and it also has reviews so you can see where the best places to go are.
Treatments for mums to be are available so you shouldn't have any trouble finding anything if you do decide to get something before the baby comes along. :)
 
Don't blow all your money on loads of pap for her at Christmas. Never understand it myself, some couples spend hundreds and hundreds of quid buying each other random stuff on one day of the year and then go on holiday to Benidorm for a week because they've got no money. Well they would have had a lot more money had they not spent hundreds of it at Christmas!

Get her something nice and meaningful yet not hugely expensive and blow the rest of the cash on doing great things together the rest of the year,
 
As Fox said, but perhaps with a different perspective, stuff doing it all at Christmas. You'll pay twice as much and be half as appreciated.

Consider this - http://www.manoirdelebioles.com/ - and for a twist, make sure you go to the F1 Grand Prix as well in 2011. It will probably cost 4 times the amount of a run of the mill UK spa, but you get quality, overseas trip, and stupid amounts of horsepower.
