Hoping the new house we move into on the 20th December will suffice but sadly I think she'll still want something to unwrap on the big day. Got my eye on a nice Karen Millen handbag for her

Unless she has told you that it is exactly what she wants I would think again. Handbags/purses are very personal.
Last year my missus was delighted to receive £50 worth of death certificates.
She loves doing her family history and always felt guilty paying £7 a time for certificates from Ancestry.
Probably one of my most peculiar presents.
She has just stung me for £300 spending money when taking the G'kids to Paris Disneyland next week so I think I may be a bit more frugal this year.

Keeping it simple this year. We both had 40th birthdays last year where we pushed thge boat out so just going to be back few little presents. Plus we are at my inlaws for Xmas and they do not do the big gift thing and it can be embarasing if we have spent a fair amount on each other. My wife has shown a real interest in going to the ballet so tickets to see the Royal Ballet at the Albert Hall may be in order together with a decent bottle of rum to go in her collection

Mine actually asked for a Hoover....being a wise old chap I won't fall for this dastardly trick. I can hear her at every party for a decade "well, HE got me a vacuum for Christmas one year..."
Got some perfume at Duty Free (largely Liquid gold judging by the price) and will probably pick up a few bits and pieces as December rolls on.

Don't forget the detergent.
Without that it would be like a kid getting a toy without the batteries.
And for the Mrs?
Mine is getting an envelope. She will probably raise an eyebrow but it contains tickets to New York...
is that the one beside Franky and Bennies in Dunfermline retail park?

Thats what mine asked for last year and thats what she got. She was so happy with it that i followed it up with a second hover on mothers day as she had complained she had to carry it upstairs. For some reason, she wasn't impressed with the second issue
I'll be giving my Girlfriend a Pearl Necklace for Christmas, not sure about what i'm giving the wife yet

Technically it isn't better and limited with apps etc but for its price it is very good also.

Both are getting some decent reviews. I went for the Google Nexus 7 and have been over the moon with that. Newer version just released has even better specs but cannot justify an upgrade at the moment.
