Urgent....... Christmas Present Ideas Needed

[Fnaar]

Apparently our shy and retiring Verger doesn't like giving presents publicly. Miss Goodbody says that at the Vicar's mince pie and sherry gathering last Yuletide, he slipped her one in the pantry.

My wife is saying the she does not want anything off me for Christmas, I think she is not telling the truth.

Give your good lady a well earned break, take yourself out for the day and leave her to enjoy the peace and quiet.

How about some coffee?

How about a cough?

If she likes magazines, you could get her a subscription to something she'd enjoy.
www.notonthehighstreet.com can be inspirational for a present to keep.

An ironing board cover, it'll get used and lasts about a year, solving next years Xmas present worries too. Thinking.........you could personalise it with her name on it or summat?

I got this for Mrs ND on her birthday a couple of years ago, but I think something similar could work well at Christmas too:

Happy birthday, darling! by Dave, on Flickr

My daughter suggests a voucher for "pampering session" which means massage & nails doing etc.-sounds like a plan but I would prefer something she can open and say oooohh oh aaaaahhh (or similar) but not averse to the pamper idea.

Why don't you get a small gift box with some nice toiletries and put the pamper voucher inside it?

Buy her some CDs of music that she likes. It's completely pain-free on play.com or Amazon.

How about buying her this.

My daughter advised me: 'Think of things she likes and get good replacements if they're worn out, or, if they're not, better versions than the ones she has."

I haven't actually managed to put it into practise myself, but it seemed like a good place to start from.
