What are you buying the other half for Christmas?

[A2Z]

After last year's unpleasantness with the new iron I'm going to push the boat out this year and get her a posh new vacuum cleaner.

You're a bit late with the 'housewife' jokes been done already, boringgg.

1/10.

Why the low score? Pretty much everything here is a stocking filler at best.

A £300 phone, Hunters wellies and a £120 Elemis gift set are stocking fillers? Wow your other half must be a lucky lady!

We've set a max of around £30 for each other. So far I have a big fleece hallmark christmas movie blanket, riesen chocolates, novelty socks, a tea towel of a woman wrestling an alligator on it (as my favourite memory is her "wrestling" an alligator when we went on holiday). Doesn't sound like much but after the amount of time we've been together, I know this is exactly what she'll love.

With our first baby on the way we really don't need to fill the house with clutter or pointlessly expensive gifts.

riesen chocolates

The chocolate chew things? Usually found for a quid in B&M and the like, they're nice, not sure worthy of wrapping up tho

 

[GhostlyPea]

So far a 50p coin from the Mint for her collection (Paddington bear one) and some Bee earings. I was looking at taking here for a chocolate making session but I can't seem to find one that looks good VFM around London

A mouse mat. But the one she wanted has been pulled from sale.

My mrs asked me for a telly ... quite random but got one on the BF sales ... pretty sure it won’t be what she really really wanted!

They're the ones. I don't choose what she likes. I could wrap up a box of chocolates that cost a small fortune but she'd much rather just have the riesens.

We made the mistake of thinking the more you spent, the better a present, but we quickly learnt that was certainly not the case for us. I once bought her a tupperware box for cereal and she was over the moon.

Yeah it's easy to fall into that trap. I just bought the wife some mittens which have built in heaters to charge by USB as she gets some tendon pain in her hands when working. They cost about £6 and she loves them!

Why are you getting her a second hand phone?

 

[Zefan]

I'll let you know when she hands them over for me to wrap.

Dude, i've got nearly 30 years in the military - you're going to have to come up with something much better than that to get a bite out of me
