I'm not getting her any more handbags. She wants any she can buy her own. She's already got about 50/60, the hoarder.
I reckon she should be due a lifetime customer award from Lulu Guinness.

A new kindle.
She reads like no one else I've ever known and her current one went bust a week ago, so if it was going to give up the ghost, now was a good time.

I think a slight overestimate on her behalf, though she is old so has had plenty of time to collect them.

Sounds like her head would explode dealing with the 3*9 gearing on my '20 Voodoo Marasa!
In the last couple of days I've experimented with 100% trainer difficulty in Zwift, instead of usual ~40%, overweight at ~95Kg and with weak legs I'm using easiest gear (26/36) to try to keep inclines over 6%+ manageable.

Kindle a coat and some naughty things. The kindle and coat will probably go back as I'm rubbish at presents

Save the cash and put it towards a holiday. It also means no stress trying to buy each other stuff we don't need.

Yep we follow the creed.
Maybe a token present, she likes pusheen the cat, so something silly.

Wifey will also get some stuff for the kids. They are both over 18 now, so this is the first year we're not spending £800 - £1k per kid on Xmas - interesting to see how this goes down Xmas day! We have warned them Xmas will not be as bountiful

On topic. Nothing for the adults we're going away to see the family so that's our spend for the holidays.
The kids have gifts from birthdays and so on that we held back as they get too much stuff anyway. We're trying to lower expectations and make them realise it's not about how much you get but the sentiment behind it. Also they're going abroad (for the 4th time this year) and need to realise the privilege they have for being able to do that.

Going away together. Not seeing anyone. Not giving any presents. Nice and simple.
