i'm pretty well booked up at the minute but drop me a trust message with pics and I might be able to slot her in (innuendo intended) for a fellow forumite

I got an iMac and a 4K TV early for Christmas this year. It's been a real cracker. Got a 27" Dell G sync and a 1080 last year. Idk why I've lucked out so much.

She see you coming didn't she?

Skynet5 · 19 Nov 2017 at 22:03

Yeah. Need to keep an eye on this one. I'm all out of ideas. Fed up of the usual stuff I buy her.

Aye. It's the phone that's done me. Usually I try to limit the damage to under 500 stinkers! Fortunately it's only her and I so we can afford a little extravagance between ourselves.

I used to worry about this year on year, but after a while I became aware that whatever I purchased for the missus was subject to criticism (irrespective of financial value).

So in short I gave up and now I tend to take her on a spending spree in a shopping mall just prior or post Xmas and let her get what she wants.

Cleaning products. Generally supermarket own brand stuff as I don't want to spoil her.

A rabbit. Not the fluffy kind.

Sweet, nothing like a bit if appreciation

Me and my girlfriend don't bother buying anything for each other on Christmas and Birthdays and just put it towards holidays instead.

I actually did buck the trend slightly and buy her an £80 Fitbit last year, but that was it.

The big hitters tend to be genuine surprises, obvious effort with thought and execution, or plush gifts. If it doesn’t fit into one of those categories... fail tbh

For example, you can be quite creative for not necessary a lot of money. Last year (alpha males get your vom bags ready) my favourite treat was a ‘home made’ advent calandar (possibly from a kit you can buy online) - each day having a photo of a memory / something silly / an injoke... treats were typically little choccies or guitar plectrums... major treats included gig tickets for evening and the final one was ‘look under the bed’ and there was a wrapped pressie for me, for the opening right then!! My face lit up like it was Christmas Eve. Because it was.
