I don't know about anyone else, but every year I face the same struggle - what to buy the wife/girlfriend/significant other for Christmas?
Apart from the obvious of socks, choccies and smelly water spray stuff.

So my question - if you're a lady and like lady's things, what present from a your basic man would impress you?

I'm sure us men can share our hopes and dreams too :-) (PS4 would be nice Santa!)

I'm a bad person to ask because I'm a tech head. I like electronics. I like jewelry and shoes too but I have so much jewelry and shoes I could start my own department store. BF asked what I want. I told him all I want is a really good camera I don't want anything else and that is what he is going to get me. For obvious reasons hehehe

Oh and if you are buying jewelry buy gold real gold 14 karat or higher

Obviously I didn't wrap it - it would have been a waste of wrapping paper really. Hence the request for ideas!

Um can I assume, she says with hesitation, J wanted compost? I mean this isn't something you just happen to see and say "Hey I think she'll love this!" Was it? sCo_blink

No. She didn't want it. I have rarely seen such disgust on her face.

MOST of the time women do not want crap for the house. My mom used to say "The house is not just mine it's yours too so don't buy me a vacuum cleaner." My dad was Felix Unger anyway. My dad was an amazing gift giver! He used to get her jewelry, really good perfume, etc... Does she need new leather boots for riding? Those are pricey but cool. I know she does her jousting stuff.

We've already got a house full of crap. Spent the whole weekend trying to throw years worth of toys books and games out, just to make space for all the new crap that's coming from Santa.

Maybe I'll just get her world peace and be done with it.

Seriously though, you are helping to get my creative thoughts flowing...

Hey Paul, they are sensitive and generally like to be impressed, my tip is to look what she likes, yes I know it sucks a walk around the mall with her crowded around, but just pay attention, she will looking any or more somethings and comment with you ... look how beautiful it (some kind of clothes, shoes, etc.) my wife has given me many tips, I already bought a cool bikini and I will buy a sandal that she got mad.

At night...I hear the darkness breathe...I sense the quiet despair...Listen to the silence...At night...Someone has to be there...

A man who pays attention to a woman is and should be rewarded greatly!!!

I do what Eduardo said for my honey. I pay attention to what he likes. He loves Kraft beer (the fancy kind). So every year I get him a beer basket with not only a bunch of new flavors of beer but also his favorite foods.. Beef Jerky, Dark Pretzels and Chocolate. He also loves going into actual record stores (we only have two left) and buying old records and CDs (he's not a digital/techie kind of boy) so I will get him a gift card for the record store.

I could think of few things worse than getting gold jewellery as a present! *shudder*

My brother in law bought my sister a set of new dishes the other year. She ignored him the whole day. No dishes!!
