What are you getting your wife for Christmas?

[majeskyb]

Well, as most of you know, I'm deployed right now, so I don't have the pleasure or opportunity to go window shopping with her. The only thing we've agreed on has been the velvet black/pink robe from Victoria's Secret. I'm going to make sure she has that to open on Christmas, with her family, but I want something else that I can give her when I get home next month. I have a bracelet in mind, here , but she absolutely hates yellow gold . Maybe a few of you more experienced members could throw out some ideas, or suggestions that I could be overlooking? Thank you ahead of time for any help that you can give :D

She wants mudflaps for her truck (God I love that girl...) so I'll probably get those. Other than that, books & movies are always a hit. I dont know what the "Big" gift will be this year - i havn't even started shopping yet...

I'm thinking about buying her a bracelet too. She already have the ear rings, rings, necklace, and stuff. She also hinted about Friends season 4. So I'll get her that one too.

I might install that cassette player in her car. Because she likes listening to books on tape while to and from work. We'll see.

I've found that girls like expensive, overpriced jewelry and clothing. Even if it's the same quality, they still want the name associated with it.

Personally, I'm buying my girlfriend a Louis Vuitton purse for x-mas. I could buy her 50 regular purses for the same price as one LV. :(

I got her an engagement ring. I am killing two birdw sith one stone. hehe

[Question]

In order for me to reply with a decent answer, I need to know how long you've been married for. Any recent milestone anniv.?

Got her a dual wireless bicyle computer for her very expensive road bike (speed and cadence). http://www.repartocorse.com/catalog/...l-wireless.htm


Also got her a sewing machine, although this is not something you should get them unless they specifically ask for it! (just like a vacuum cleaner!).

You usually can't go wrong with jewelry. Pearls are good, as is the ever popular diamond.

I think you can't go wrong with earrings or bracelets.

As far as things from Vicky's, anything from there (or similar places) is really a present for you, not her. :D Therefore, it goes in your ledger of presents, not hers, regardless of whose name is on the present.

Avoid appliances entirely unless she specifically requests appliances.

...MTMike: Mudflaps - ROFL.

Well, we had our first anniversary on the 22nd of November. Other than that, We've been together for about four years now.

Actually, I showed her a couple different robes, because I had remembered that she had been talking about one for awhile. It just happens that Victoria's Secret has some of the nicest clothing, aside from the other things they're famous for, and she really liked the robe I showed her. That's going to be the present she gets to open at her parent's house. The rest will be waiting for me to get back home ;)

I went there, and noticed a few things, but I think I'm going to wait until next year to get her something from the jewelry section at aafes. Thanks for the idea though
