O.T. -- What to get Wife for Christmas....

Funtwohunt · Dec 22, 2013

I have a wife that most guys dream of, doesn"t shop much, not high maintenance by far just an awesome person, never really wants anything, I can do as I want, she never complains, etc. We spend just about all our time together.
Now the problem, trying to get her something for Christmas the last several years is hard to do. Any ideas for a gift(s). $300 - $500
Thanks

A gift certificate to a spa for a manicure, pedicure, massage ( the legal kind). I like to get mine a day off from me lol

A Ring is a nice touch. I bought one for my Wife on sale foe the 250 mark from a reliable jeweler 3/16" wide band with diamond chips and emerald accents white gold. Jim

You say that you spend a lot of time together... Is it mostly things you like to do? Or what she likes to do. Why I ask this is because m my wife and I spend a lot of time together too, but it is usally doing things I want to ,or have to do. So when she wants to go to a concert or somthing like that , I just say where and when? So maybe tickets to a show, dinner and a romantic night out could be your answer.

You know her better than anyone. My advice, sit back somewhere quiet, close your eyes and think about the times that truly brought smiles to her face and twinkles to her eyes, and go from there. Its not about the money, it truly is the thought that counts. Best of luck, and keep in mind the things about her that make you the luckiest guy in the world, and share them with her.

$300 might get you an x-box or nintendo, I don't know, never had one, never played one, never want one. Wouldn't buy the wife one. $50 might buy the two of you dinner in the place where you had your first date, reminicing about your first date, finished by you pinning a corsage on her, or handing her one red rose that will spark and bring new fond memories.

Since it is Christmas and this is a tractor site, I could sell you a rarely used (by me) Deere 950 that you could give... Naw, you don't want to do that, trust me. It leaks oil and only has 3 cylinders.

Need to get her a clone of yourself.

Well most women like shiny things. LOL

They like to dress with some femininity showing even in their insulated Carharts.

I have gave a neck-less with pendants or lockets. Put a nice picture of someone she really loves in the locket (HINT not you LMAO. Someone she needs a remembrance of). I put a shrunk down picture of my current wife's Mother and Father on their wedding day in a locket. She never takes it off.

What makes her the happiest is to see you happy. Buy yourself a new tractor and tell her that's why you did it.

Tom jd50 · Dec 22, 2013

Do the things that she enjoys, money really doesn't matter. My wife was the same way. This year, I will be opening gifts with my 2 sons and their families, that my wife had wrapped and they will be the last, she passed in November. Wish I had her back to buy a gift for. No matter what you get her, she sounds like she will appreciate it. Merry Christmas.

Send her and one of her best friends out on the town, or send her out of town to a best friends place.

hoofer · Dec 22, 2013

Sorry to hear that TOM. I hope you had lot of Christmas memories with her.

Royse · Dec 22, 2013

So Chris, how long have you been single? LOL
I do appreciate the sentiment though!

Funtwohunt, as the others have said, it's not the money.
Make it personal. If you have time, build it yourself.

A mirrored shadow box filled with knick-knacks that her daughter
had hidden away for years turned out to be the most precious
gift I ever gave my wife.

Partially because it was hand made, partially because her daughter
and I collaborated on the effort. Both meant something special to her.

Thanks, have 35 great years worth of memories.

Nothing says I love you like the gift of a spatula, you can get them at Dan's Spatula City, all they sell is spatulas.

From an old Weird Al Yankovich Movie, I will never forget that hilarious commercial.

I thought a women's perspective may help! Royse is right - make it personal. If she is all you say and I believe she is, (she sounds alot like me!) money is not an object. Two of the best Valentines for me - a hand written poem on the card. Then one year we went out for pizza, somehow unbeknownst to me, he requested they cut the pizza in the shape of a heart!!! I love to garden and work in my yard; two other favorite gifts: a chain harrow one year and a huge wheel barrow another!! It's not about the $'s, it's about what is special to a particular person. I know it may sound like my guy is a "tight wad" but he ISN'T. He's not opposed to spending quite a few $'s on something special, he knew I had always wanted a birthstone ring, so for Xmas, he found a beautiful aquamarine surrounded by diamonds, set in 18K gold. I absolutely love that ring but only wear it occassionally because that kind of jewelry doesn't mix to well with tractors and the like. But that chain harrow and wheel barrow I use all the time!!! So just sit back and think about what she likes to do for herself and go from there! I'm sure she'll be pleased.
Merry Christmas!

A new diamond ring for my wife this year. Nothing huge. I asked what she would like she said something shiny but without a caliber. Lol. I took it from there can"t wait to see her face. I think I did good. Definitely better to give than receive. Merry Christmas all.

farmerwithmutt · Dec 22, 2013

arnt you still giving her a gift taking care of the things that mean the most husband kids and grandbabys? just think of her looking down and smilling thats the way i look at things to try and carry on for others.i learned this big time when the cancer came for my mother in law she was woried what would happen to charlie he would be living alone and he was in poor shape to and one day i turned to her and said nothings going to happen to he was going to be with us and untill she died she never said anything more.the day she passed we were there and brought him home and we took care of him till he passed away so take of youself and the kids it will be the best gift you can give

I got my wife an electric chain saw and a new oscillating tool. She got me a new set of cookware, some new baking sheets, etc., that she really likes.

She usually says that she doesn't need anything but she decided on new cookwear on her own.

Funtwohunt · Dec 23, 2013

Thanks for all the info. I"ll set back and think a bit and come up with something. Merry Christmas
