What can I get you for Christmas?

[Carleatspeas]

Dear Mumsnetters,

I am a man. I have a mother. I come in peace.

For the past few years I have cunningly used Mumsnet as a fountain of knowledge to buy Christmas presents for my other half. During that time, I have been guided towards silk dressing gowns (which were a huge hit), Coach handbags (which went down okay) and other things that I can no longer remember. You’ve been pretty helpful and I’m in desperate need of help again. I have zero time to go out shopping between now and Christmas and I will be away with work for much of the next two weeks – so it will mostly be done through the internet. The intended recipient is my wife, who is 42, active, loves dogs, the great outdoors and anything nice really. I have no idea how much I’ll spend. Somewhere between £400 and £1000ish by the time I’ve got a few things. We have no children so I like to spend a bit on her at Christmas.

Anyway, and top tips are gratefully received. What would you like as a present this Christmas?

Thanks in advance!

Carl
