From the title there is an implication of more than one other half - I would have thought this was something you would by for the "other" other half?

I only bought himself a pair of slippers and nowt else and it means that I no longer have to hear him whinge about having cold feet but refusing to wear socks. Best tenner ever.

SWMBO has been watching strictly and constantly saying she wished she could have dancing lessons, which I've vehemently said over my dead body.

Imagine her face when a voucher for 5 introductory lessons was wrapped inside her Altura cycling jacket!

Thank goodness for small mercies.

In this weather? A new vest.

In terms of the pleasure of a gift well received, two dresses that not only fit Mrs B but look great.

Dunno how other guys feel, but buying clothes for wives / girlfriends is always a bit of a 'fingers crossed' activity and I was thrilled to bits that she liked them both and has already worn both when we've gone out places.

mega brownie points in your vault then....don't forget to redeem them

Not hidden in a cycling jacket, but I did that same thing as a Christmas present 3 or 4 years ago! We both went along in January and had a course of 10 lessons over as many weeks which was enough to get a smattering of waltz, foxtrot, quickstep and rumba. The most daunting thing as a beginner - which I hadn't realised - is that in the first few lessons we had to rotate partners every couple of minutes. (Fortunately, as the majority of people attending had gone as couples, there was at least a reasonably equal male-female balance). I'm not sure why this was the approach; maybe it was to emphasise the 'social' aspect, or perhaps it was to get you used to dancing with people of different heights, natural ability etc. By about lesson 6 when we had at least something to practice, we all reverted to staying with our own partners throughout the lessons.

It was a bit strange at first but fun as the weeks went on. We haven't really used the skills since apart from one dance we went to where there was a super orchestra and demonstrations of various dance styles, but what we were taught did sink in.
