Cant go wrong with jewelry.

The rule at my house is no electrical appliances or sporting equipment. If you have already bought her a chainsaw, I would recommend taking it back. So gas tools are the same.
Like the man said, you can never go wrong with jewlery. The more you spend, the better you are.:D

Oh, BTW. Don't ever, ever, ever, ever believe that "all I want is to be with you" stuff for one little second. Sleeping on the couch over New Year will be the least of your worries.

Jewlery is a good thing. A day at a spa would be nice.

I like the old one-two approach. First, you get her a set of hand towels, and when she's fuming, hand over the...
wait for it...
new toaster :eek: :D :p
J/K. Get her a gag gift, but also some nice piece of jewelry that fits in a small wrapped box you keep hidden in your pocket until she starts giving you that look (:mad:). At the right moment, you whip out the little wrapped box and BLAM...putty in your hands ;) But then, I'm just a poor single man trying to make it in the world, so caveat emptor :D

Bingo on the spa idea. Gets her out of the house long enough to wet a line as well. Don't underestimate the womans love of being pamperedhttp://www.covers.com/images/emoticons/an_light.gif

Look her where she keeps her girlie stuff and find the cologne bottle that is nearly empty and get her one of those. mid range stuff cost around $40 to $50 per ounce. She will be amazed at how much you know about her.
Day spa is a great gift: Massage, facial and pedicure around $135
Jewelry - Tennis bracelet - start around $100 and go up to several thousand.
I would wrap any of the above in a set of hand towels - the old double wrap gag gift.

When me and the ex got engaged, I put an empty ring box inside of a bigger box and so and so on covering it with hand towles. Needless to say she was not pleased. It was fun while it lasted though. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Sit in the mall and watch the ladies walk by. When you see one that has something special about her...........figure it out:p

You Take The Kids And Send Her Shopping With A Lil Wad Of Cash Or Giftcards And Let Her Upgrade Her Wardrobe At Her Leisure While You Hold The Fort Down For A Day. When She Gets Home Have A Nice Dinner Ready For Her Or Have Reservations And The Two Of You Enjoy The Evening Together W/ A Lil Quality Time. Just Be Sure You Also Put Something Under The Tree That She Can Open Xmas Morning As Well ;)

I usually like to give jewelry-though most of it has stayed in a safe deposit box for years. My wonderful wife of 30+ years ALWAYS says "I don't want anything" . Nice clothing I've bought also gets returned, even when it fits-because "I don't have any place to wear it". (We're not frequent participants at hi-class parties, concerts, etc.) A couple Christmases ago, after hearing the same stuff over & over, I gave her 5 $100 bills in her card to get something nice for herself, and was she ever Pissed! This year think I will go with a beautifully wrapped small box, containing an electric nose hair clipper, to be followed up VERY quickly with a nice piece of jewelry. Even if they don't wear it much, seems to be the best idea. She's not too much into fishing, although we do go fishing together, & she has enough fishing stuff any way, & not into shooting, like me, or I'd get her a nice Glock 19, which I'll probably get for myself, since she won't buy it for me! (She is under the misguided impression that I already have enough guns in my sorry little collection). Good Luck All! And Merry Christmas!!!:D ;)
