We live in the real world. You have no idea what she calls me. She would not change anything about me, That's what she tells me.

CC unofficial rule 35644678 . You can never know what the person closest to you actually thinks , only somebody on the internet , who doesn’t know you or your closest can do that .

Have a look on etsy.com or not on the high street.com they often have stuff thats a bit different.
Just found Mrs73 something she's going to love of etsy. I'd have never found it in a shop.

Sometimes people can get the ember of an idea by asking other people what to get somebody as a surprise .

Ironing board cover, but personalised with her name.....should last a year so your problem is sorted for next Xmas too.

As an added bonus you'll never have to worry about what present to get her ever again

Jewellery would always be special.
A gold or silver bracelet or necklace.
Something neutral that would go with lots of outfits /occasions.

With your budget a £50 note may suffice

@derrick I'm a bit like your wife, but not that sporty
Jewellery, perfumes, clothes don't interest me much.
What about a voucher for her favorite hairdresser?
Even us tomboys love a good cut & style.

I think my partner would prefer 'the wife' to 'my wife' or 'wife #2' I'm pretty sure we both refer to each other as 'the other half' from time to time - it's never occurred to me that it could be construed as demeaning.

A friend of mine refers to his wife, his third, as the "current Mrs Evans". You can see why he's been divorced twice.

Both my wife and I find the whole fuss about Christmas presents for each other a huge hassle so for the past five years or more we have agreed not to bother. Not romantic but tbh we are comfortably off and spend our money on what we want when we want it throughout the year, and we both admitted that we were often getting each other presents that we would not have chosen for ourselves, and which subsequently were not used. We try and make more of an effort for birthdays.

Even when we bought each other presents we hated the commercialism of Christmas and had agreed to spend no more than £25 on each other.

Not on the high street is actually on the high street in Richmond . It is right at the end of it but technically still on it and if you go back to before the A316 was built its opposite the church and close to the local bakers so would have been slap bang in the middle of the blinking high street . Just saying

Tickets for both of you to see a show, this gives her something to open and look forward too.
