Christmas presents for the wife

[CarolynandBob]

Nothing.. Been giving the same thing over 25 years.
If you buy what you want during the whole year--then why do I (or anyone) have to go out and buy something extra just for Christmas.
I get her the same thing for her B-Day and Anniversary

This.

When we got married my wife said she didn't want an anniversary present every year, but every 5 years she wanted diamonds. I said great. After 15 years she said no more diamonds.

 

[Big B Hova]

@69hondo Think she needs a 6" lift 35s and moto metal wheels for the 'burban.

 

[farmo83]

My wife has gotten into quilting so I'm thinking a new sewing machine.

LOL, she does want that but that will screw up the towing and mileage.

 

[SLT Kota]

The same thing she get me, nothing don't do gifts on holidays anymore.

Any advice on how to upgrade to this stage?

I'm still trying to figure out if she REALLY wants a vaccume cleaner or if it is a trap. It feels like a trap but she says...

Does she want a Dyson cordless vacuum? I’d say not a trap if that’s the vacuum she wants.

 

[Yldboyz]

Something that goes 0-60 really fast and fits in the garage.

 

[Badchoices03]

Get her a Louis wallet and bag. They are expensive but for the most part timeless and are a store of value as well. She can then trade them or sell etc and recoup most of the money to put towards the next one.

My wife has a whole closet full of LV and Gucci purses, totes (not to be confused as a purse im told), backpacks, and wallets....when people say, well they store value, its not always true...try selling one for anything near what you paid for it, not going to happen, maybe 50% on the dollar, and at that point you might as well keep it...most people are going to assume its fake....you can sell on one of the highend websites but you only get a portion of the selling price....I have tried to convince her to buy gently used ones from other people like her that have taken the hit from the store...but nope, not gonna happen....

That being said...I am pretty sure she is getting this one for xmas....I don't know, I think this is the one she showed me that shes buying...lol

That is exactly it lol Guess I'll be black friday shopping for a dyson.

 

[C-Ya]

There’s nothing more romantic than purchasing a dock…….. Just saying

Actually, if she wants something expensive……. I’ll buy a shopping cart full of groceries.

All kidding aside…….. I am looking at this thread for ideas?

 

[69hondo]

I am hoping she gets me a diesel pusher LOL

 

[HNL2LHC]

This year has been like Christmas through out With all the things that we bought for the AZ house. Not really sure what she really needs at this point but I some of the best years are the ones that I went over the top and bought more than she had expected. Not sure what I am going to do. Maybe a road trip to see a few national parks that are on our bucket list in UT.

turn 65 and have a wife that can be cheap sometimes. We get what we need whenever we need it so no need to wait for gift giving season. I personally do not like Christmas anymore.

Next time you go shopping for any item (purse, car, appliance, etc) just pick the furthest holiday from that date and tell her you will get it as a gift.
If she agrees to wait for that holiday--great you know what to buy.
If she wants it now--just let her know you will not be getting her anything else and that opens up to the bigger conversation.

I had the conversation with my wife when we were dating. Told her straight out--I do not buy B-Day, Holiday cards or flowers. I like to buy things I want to enjoy when I want so I do not buy just for Holidays or B-Day, etc. . She agreed it was best to get them now to enjoy vs waiting. The getting no gifts was presented in a way that felt like she was making the choice--so I dont get any pushback during the "special days"

 

[endobear]

Wife wants a trip for Christmas. Apparently Glamis wasn't what she had in mind though.

 

[25Elmn8r]

She's getting a house for her bday, mothers day, xmas, and any other holiday for the next few years! Just started this week, first pour is on Monday.

YES!!!

 

[C_J_J_C]

This year we are buying experiences / trips. This year I pick and I think the wife and I will get Nashville and the kids will each get a single parent trip. Dad & Son likely Austin and Mom & Daughter maybe New Orleans. Next year wife picks the destinations and we switch kids.

wife has never had a nice purse or bag, i was thinking of surprising her with one. dont even know where to start looking.

Shes a good girl, thrifty, she buys purses on clearance and never more t han 50$ so i thought this would be nice.



ironically, her sister (who has no business owning 1 designer purse) owns about 10. Poor as fuck but only cares what people see.

It would be best to buy it with her and let her pick.. Women and purses have this weird connection and its got be right or it stays in the closet.

Depending on your location, try Fashion Island it has all the brands...

 

[Riverbottom]

Mine is getting a dual zone wine fridge. I have been getting hints for a while.

 

[Jimmyv]

Don’t know, but I can tell you what NOT to get her.

A fancy Dishwasher.

To get out of the dog house, I had to give her the diamond bracelet I bought for my girlfriend.

Have a serious conversation with her about it. (Safe way to do it) If she agrees no more presents then you buy a present, but keep it hidden. Then if she has a present for you can give her the one you bought.

(Not a safe way to do it) Don't have a standby gift and if she gets you one then say WTF we talked about this. Then if she is pissed to bad.

We're planning to add the Peloton Tread to our gym so I can be even more of a cult member

PS: I have a Peloton discount code if anyone needs it.

Please DM me the discount code…THANKS

it’s dependent on the bag. Run of the mill types don’t hold value as well while others that are more unique and rare can actually increase in value. However even with common ones my wife hasn’t taken a 50percent hit.

This is only the case with lv bags. Gucci and others plummet on the secondary market due to the fact you can get them new from grey market dealers.

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Please DM me the discount code…THANKS

The code is for $100 off. Not a ton, but better than nothing! Occasionally they bump it up to $200, but it doesn't appear to be that way right now.

The code to use at checkout is: JA9BEC

good idea, thanks man

 

[Socalx09]

Well I got my present way early… as he said, ”this is an infusion, anniversary, Christmas, valentine, birthday gift and not to bother him in the garage when he’s angry gift.” Lol. Happy jewelers for the win here! I better step up my gift game now.

 

[angiebaby]

My wife appears to want an attitude adjustment for Christmas. I don't wish menopause on my worst enemy...

Me neither

 

[CoolCruzin]

She already got her gift .
85” oled tv

 

[Racey]

Wife wants a new iWatch and iPad.
Not sure what I will get her. I hate giving those as gifts.

I told her I want the middle step-son who told us Monday he does not want to go back to college out of the house He had a full ride via my checkbook and said college was too difficult. My answer = Life is hard, you just made it harder. Rent is due 1.1.2023 or you will be evicted 01.14.2023. - slept in my office since Monday. Was finally told today I can slept in our bed

Look at the bright side, the kid just saved you six figures from turning him into a communist. Double bonus if you ask me

Her Dyson gets in today, thank you for the advice.

Your husband is making the rest of us look bad, just when I thought I was done Christmas shopping...

 

[j21black]

Got my Mom a candle that says "Having Me as a Son is the Only Gift You Need"

Need to see if they make one for the wife.

 

[69hondo]

I ended up getting her Some blown up family pics on canvas and some shoes. LOL

She is going to love it. It cuts the vacuuming time in half and makes it easy.

Haha…it probably helps that I don’t complain how much money goes into his toys.. I’m scared to know sometimes. I think he’s about to pick up a RC car hobby soon.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

Bought her a new helmet (heated fog free lens) from 509, a new snowsuit, and a bracelet.

 

[Big B Hova]

I bought my wife a new plastic cooking spoon.

 

[Go-Fly]

My wife told me she didn't want anything for Christmas but to spend time with me on Christmas day. I love her so much and have reserved myself to the fact that this is going to be the most expensive Christmas I've had in a long time.

 

[lbhsbz]

T shirt and a dildo. If she doesn't like the T-shirt....lol

Except my ex wife. Why do women have pms? because they deserve it.

Fiancée wants a new pan set, I’m more of a BBQ guy and have no idea what’s good in the kitchen. Any suggestions? Looking stay in the $300 range and definitely under $500.

calphalon, all-clad, made in.

Ask her if she wants non stick or stainless so you dont blow that part.

 

[BabyRay]

My wife is getting a kitchen update. We needed a new fridge, and it’s become a $60k project.

To top it off, the new fridge and freezer have arrived but won’t fit the current space, and our old fridge died a couple of days ago, so I had to buy a cheap fridge to get by until the cabinets are in!

But I’m still buying her Christmas gifts. They’re a relative drop in the bucket, and she’ll appreciate it, so why not.
