Wives - what would you like for Christmas?

[MuswellHillDad]

What would you like your husband to buy you for Christmas?

All ideas welcome - I'm sure I'm not the only husband struggling for ideas!

Thanks

[pinkandsparklytoo]

I want the same as I want every year - a pony

[MinesAPintOfTea]

I want Pikmin 2 and 3 with a Wii U to play it on.

Otherwise chocolates, jewellery, books, nice scarf, pillows, blanket, theatre tickets...

Do you need my address to deliver them all?

[smellylittleorange]

Think OP has been scared away I would like

A really nice London Dinner that requires dressing up

A hotel stay in a nice city/town that requires lots of wandering around shops, cakes, coffee, champagne and sex at 4pm in afternoon

My Ukulele restrung

My engagement ring fixed

Liberty scarf

Nice jewellery , Claudia Bradbury bracelet, Charm for my Swarovski bracelet, subtle costume jewellery from likes of Pilgrim, not on high street, Dyrberg Kern or a vintage Brown topaz silver statement ring, Long Alex Monroe necklace

Jo Malone Cracker

manicure / haircut

Candles any I love them

Has your DW got Pinterest ? Should be worth a look ?

[smellylittleorange]

I don,t want All of That of course , just thought you would like a variety of ideas

[optimusic]

I don't want anything for the kitchen, or anything that cleans. It's 2013 not 1913.
I don't want anything for the house - so no curtains, cushions, rugs, blankets.
I don't want make up.
I don't want handbags, shoes, clothes, underwear or purses.
I don't want theatre tickets, opera or any other show tickets.
I don't want scarfs, nice or not.
I don't want a spa thing, massage thing or any other parlour thing.
I don't want to be a friend of what ever gallery or other nonsense.
I don't want books.
I don't want smelly things.
I don't want straighteners, hair drier, tongs or any other gadget for my hair.
I don't want an Ipad, I have one.
I don't want an ereader, I have one.
I don't want nail varnish.
I don't want ornaments or other tat that is simply there to collect dust.
I don't want chocolate.

I wouldn't mind games for either the ps3 or the psp. I wouldn't mind a ps4.
I wouldn't mind another coffee gift basket - very nice travel cup/cafetiere and some very nice coffees.
I wouldn't mind cash, yes cash not store gift cards, for when I see something that I like.

What I actually want:

Books on etymology by A. Lieberman and O. Szemerenyi
A latch hook kit with a seascape and sailing ship

What I'll probably be given:

Novels

[otterface]

In the spirit of "It's 2013 not 1913", optimusic, would it not be a bit weird to be given cash by your dh? Surely OP's wife should be able to access the family money when she sees fit, and doesn't need for some amount of it to be given by OP as a Christmas gift to her [tchconfused] ...

[Procrastinating]

Hand made boots from Green Shoes please.

Don't buy me anything from the garden centre gift section.

[feelingood]

some time alone

A gift that DH gets me every year that I adore is a box of charity shop books. About 30 or so paperbacks. Of these I will probably have already read approximately 15, but I don't mind a re-read. About 5 are eyewateringly bad choices, and they get recycled back to the charity shop. About 10 are good discoveries. Some of them I know I won't re-read. This only works if your other half is very bookish, but it is something I look forward to every year.

He also bakes me a cake. I love that :). He also bought me some herbs for the kitchen (basil, thyme. rosemary, a chilli plant) but in nice pots.

For the rest, perfume and stuff? I can get that all for myself. It's not a gift really, perfume. You might as well bung your other half £100. Ditto Mulberry bags. I have perfume, I have Mulberry bags and purses. I have every gadget imaginable (and some of them unimaginable) for the kitchen.

THAT IS A BRILLIANT GIFT!!!

I have asked for a cake mixer thingy but that's because our one broke down and I do like to make the occasional thing. I'd like a bike as well but probably won't get one as at 5 months PG that will be considered 'unsuitable'.

Things like jewellery, clothes, toiletries, perfume, pants lingerie etc etc etc - I have very specific tastes so I just buy them for myself as and when needed.

I'm not bothered about a cake mixer though - as long as it holds up for a few years and isn't too ugly I don't mind. I'm not going to start a cupcake business with it.

[Gavlaaa]

Why are we allowed a thread title "What are you getting DH for christmas" but not one with the word wives in ?!

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

How about ask your actual wife- we are all different people with different wants. Asking 'wives' is a ridiculous way to find out what yo get her.

Have you posted a similar thread titled "uncle Jeffreys what would you like for christmas" to determine what your uncle jeff would like?

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

But i, as a non wife would like one direction's album please. I'll pm you my address

[BeaLola]

Jo Malone bath oil, body creme and a candle

A book from the Folio Society
Clarins hand cream
Framed picture of my DH & DS together -a Black and white shot

Good luck OP - hope your wife loves whatever you get

[fossil971]

I'd like to be asked.
I'd like dh to arrange a babysitter and take me shopping in john lewis to chooose it together and something for him too. if we could afford I'd quite like a new handbag a kindle or a Tassimo. ot a voucher to get some make up. No more toiletries gift sets, acrylic knitted scarfs or tarty red nylon underwear please. sorry but I don't like surprises you should know after 20 years!

[DaleyBump]

A nice Yankee Candle :)

[perfectstorm]

In all honesty I'd ask her best friend(s). Not random punters on the interwebz.

[beansbeansgoodfortheheart]

A lot of fucking arseholed on Mumsnet sadly.

I'd like a Mulberry purse! That's it

[AmberLeaf]

'Wives' because he is asking as a husband I presume?

If this was 'what shall I get DH for christmas?' it would be fine wouldn't it.

What does your wife like OP? what is your budget?

I love that box of books one!

[motherinferior]

I am happy to say I am not a Wife, so clearly my suggestions are not wanted.

[DianaOfThemyscira]

I'd love a dab digital radio, thanks very much!

[Calamityjude]

a siamese kitten (wish my dh would agree!)
lindt chocolate
new soft dressing gown
perfume
