Christmas Present Ideas for GF/Wife
Any ideas for christmas presents?
Cheap to expensive, just looking for ideas. Think I've replaced just about everything she already owned, and then some!!!
Running out of ideas.

Or a ticket for two to a health spa somewhere nice in the UK where she can get pampered whilst he hits the back roads!
or the pub, either is good ....just not the back roads after the pub!! NS04

Which newspaper do you use to wrap it Olly? The Mirror or the Sun..... if it's the latter, take a top tip for a thoughtful touch:Make sure that the top layer features page 3!!
I'm so going to be single by Boxing day!!

Yes, but the news will have served several purposes by the time it reaches the "gift wrap stage":
Reading material
Wacking material
Wiping down the wet car windows
Cat litter
THEN
Gift wrap for misses.
So, initial higher expenditure, but great value for money!

Cat litter - I certainly consider them as such, but not sure how a paper will help
THEN
Gift wrap for misses.
So, initial higher expenditure, but great value for money! - Tesco bag is free and the misses gets that as well when she is doing the shopping, how can you get better value than that?

Whacking material: see above, do I need to draw you a diagram!!
You don't get that kind of service from a carrier bag!

Apologies to the poster for "muppetising" his post.
On a serious note, I don't think you can go wrong with a short break away. Maybe an Xmas shopping tip to The Big Apple....lots of those around. Not cheap, but a gift you both won't forget!

Aye we've got to the stage now where we both have pretty much everything we want (within reason of affording it) So now we just buy something for the house or something like a digi camera that we can both use.... saves wasting money
