What are you buying your girlfriend/wife for christmas?

The traditional style are really tall, I'm 5'3" and they could do with being at least a couple of inches shorter to be comfortable. Definitely go for the short ones! (Or buy them from office or schuh so they can be swapped easily!)

Brilliant, shorter ones it is. Thanks mate :)
 
Have got my other half a mixture of gifts this year:

- 2x tickets to see The Script in Brighton next year..her fave band.
- A dog-shaped doorstop she's been eyeing up for ages.
- A voucher for a cupcake decorating course..she's mad about baking at the mo.
- Michael McIntyre's Showtime DVD..her fave comedian.
- Jamie Oliver's 15 Minute Meals book..she's been wanting this for a while.

Hopefully she'll like them all and there's a good mixture of stuff she's been hinting towards and surprises, but still related to things she likes.

Take a day-trip out on the trains, head for the coast or somewhere, plenty of super accessible worth seeing places close by. Florence is only 90 mins!
 
Northface Jacket (she's always complaining about having no decent jacket when we take the dog for a walk).
Some box set from bodyshop, no idea what it is, it was the first 'gift' bundle I saw.
Olympics 2012 on Blu Ray (so I can watch it).
Pandora charm. To be told 2 days later that she's lost the bracelet.
 
Chocolate fondu set
Toy story 1-3
Ice cream spoon (I've put it in a tube and made her dubious to what the present is with such a shape)
Rock climbing chalk/bag
Necklace
Phone case
Hotel chocolates

All in about 60 quid (meant to spend bout 40, Woops!)
 
A crate of Grapefruit wine imported from Normandy (not expensive, but she loves the stuff and it's been a nightmare to get) and a buff for running.

Go easy on the gifts to each other as we have 5 kids to buy for!
 
bought the fiancée some Marc Jacobs Dot perfume that she's been hankering after for a while (making excuses to go to boots to sample the testers EVERY time we went out was getting a bit much :p), I have yet to buy the stocking fillers but there's still time!
 
iPad 1 (in like new condition, thanks members market)
iPad Sleeve
Lady Million Perfume
American Dad Series 1 - 8
Chocolate Brownie Maker
Soap & Glory Complete Set
Xmas Jumper
Bird Duvet Set (been out of stock in every asda store for ages)

We were only supposed to be spending £150 each, think I got a bit carried away :rolleyes:

The last xmas me and her will have any spare money though as I'm moving into my own place at the start of next year so will be rather poor!
 
I bought my girlfriend a Pandora bracelet and charm back in November for her birthday with the intention of it making xmases and birthdays a lot easier for the next few years.

All her family and my family have clocked on though and have taken it upon themselves to buy her a load of charms. This includes:

- Her mum and stepdad
- Her step brothers
- My sister
- My parents
- Her mum's friend.

D'oh!

Instead i've got her:

1) A mamod TE1a steam traction engine toy (i'm just as excited about this) as she loves anything steam related
2) Plenty of accessories for the Mamod including solid fuel tabs, rubber tyres, oil, etc
3) Joules wellies in Pink
4) Joules welly bag
5) Joules slippers (note 3, 4 and 5 were in a 3 for 2 deal on their site)
6) BWFC scarf as we're going watching the game on Saturday
7) A few other bits and bobs that i've forgot about.
 
well as we have a new baby, we have decided just to get each other a blu ray, easy choice got the hunger games for her :)
 
Personalised Silver necklace.
Pyjamas as shes been complaining she doesn't have any and then I'll grab some smellies or something this week as well.
