What you getting your other half this x-mas?
As title, my other half keeps saying she doesn't really want anything, nothing she needs etc and this year I am finding it a real struggle to find anything worth while......
So looking for some ideas here guys, what you all getting our other half this x-mas?

my mrs wants some £7 perfume and a blender to jiuce things with
as we havent much money (insurance renewal), we said we'll spend £50 on each other, and just get immediate family members gifts.
never been a person to go and spunk £100's at xmas.
(except the £4k on my scoob last december *hic*)

We don't bother buying each other pressies as we usually go away for Christmas which we call a present to ourselves This year though the other half is working Christmas Day through to New Year's Eve so a holiday is out of the question
We're still not bothering with pressies though

I'm going to surprise my other half with a new Steam Iron from TESCO, excellent value at £5 ..... and, to add to that, a new Ironing Board Cover (when one comes into the Charity Shop).
I have noticed her mumbles about her old Iron and how long it takes to warm up on the AGA Plate, the Ironing Board is tatty (she might get a new Board for her Birthday) - but, in the meantime, the cover is thread bare - so I may treat her to that.

Bit silly to reply on here as he'll read it. But I agree with Choc that we don't spend huge amounts on each other. 50 quid limit etc. When you've got kids, buying for each other isn't quite as important.

She sees me everyday - no need for 'Plastic-Man' when she has the 'Real-Deal'
She wants a man that can strip a car down, without namby-pamby rubber gloves, a man who can lift an engine out without a hoist, a man who can out-wit most on the planet, a man who can eat 4 QuarterPounders without flinching, a man who has wealth ....................... and when I find him I shall present him to her - until then, I'm as close as it gets

As the wife is working all day xmas day and boxing day, we've agreed to get a few little things and then go sales shopping for the anything larger.
I can't wait though, so probably buy her a new watch

I used to prefer to spend something on the house as a together gift than individual gifts.

Actually I am a bit concerned this year.
New girlfriend for the first time in 10 years, so I would like to get her something nice, especially as I have no mortgage payments until I buy another place!
Been with her for just about 8 months or so and things are very good
I'm thinking about getting her one of these, can any of the ladies on the forum take a look and let me know their thoughts?
Goldsmiths Sirena 18CT Yellow Gold 0.25ct Diamond Pendant
Pay no mind to the price, I have a friend that works for the company so will be getting a discount of sorts.
She is 23 years old, and only really likes yellow gold.

If Donna could drive I would have got her a Sat Nav, a crook lock and mobile phone, and cook book
So when I am in the pub, I can phone her on her mobile, she can come collect me (find me with the Sat Nav) park the car up, fit the crook lock, then collect me and have something nice cooked for me when she brings me back
