Christmas gift for HER

[Cpo1944]

I am at a complete loss and have no idea what to buy for my sweet wife of 49 years . Please help give me some ideas before its too late. Thanks , Jack
PS. I already did the gun thing -a Browning Medalist -last year.

Well after 49 years I'd simply ask. Might as well get her what she really wants.

I admit it freely, I've got feelings. I spend lots of time trying to think of, and find the perfect gift for my wife only to have her say: "Oh, that's sweet...where's the receipt?" Now, I just buy her small stuff (perfume, small electric blanket, house shoes, etc.), and tell her to get herself something nice from me. Eh, romance, shmomance, this way she gets what she wants, and I don't get my feelings hurt.

Best of luck,

Dave

Anywhere she would "really" like to go trip wise ?

My wife has two of everything so I just give her my Christmas bonus. After 31 years, I stopped killing myself over it.

A cabana boy?

A spa day
Jewelry
Date night once a week for the next year nice supper at a great restaurant
Mini vacation at destination of her choice

Ask her for her Honey Do list and do everything on it.

Buy her a nice shotgun.

I bought my wife 10 gift certificates for a massage at the massage place in our local mall. She loved it!

I would have given her one and kept the other nine for myself.

Good luck with that one.

I once bought my wife a gift certificate for her and a friend for a day at a spa. The darned thing closed a week later; before she could go.

I've been married 20 years and have yet to select a good present for her.

I'm always at a loss on what to buy my wife for Christmas too. This year she suggested a gift certificate to some outfit inside JC Penny she gets her makeup from. Now all I have to do is wander around a JC Penny until I find a Sonoma place or something spelled similar. Wish me luck as I'm venturing into unknown territory here.
Seriously something she likes that sells gift certificates is always nice.

Lexus has a helava sale goin' on for the holidays!

My other two favorites have been Pajama gram and Vermont Teddy bear. I've got my wife PJs she really liked plus an Angel Teddy and RN teddy when she graduated. Pricey but well received too. She has the bears displayed and wears the PJs so must have worked.
Also Cabelas apparel has worked before and especially a pair of winter boots she put on their want list one year which made it easy.
I've done the bears enough but may do more PJs this year too. They are darned hard to shop for though.

Good advice. My wife of 42 years wants a No No (as seen on TV) to get rid of some facial hair. I don't even notice it, but the facial hair bugs her.

But to just come outright and surprise your wife on Christmas Day may lead to some unexpected retribution.

After 49 years I bet what she would want most is "room service". Most women like to get out some.
