Okay guys, I've been racking my brains trying to decide on what to get the wife for Christmas. She gave me two ideas, but I hate to just get her what she asked for. I like to surprise her.

I figure we could post some ideas here and help each other out, so I'll start.

15 qt. Magnalite pot and perfume...

What is her passion? What does she like to do?

Read my lips. Go to the jewelry store! Buy something she does not need and would not normaly buy. Simple as that!

The best way to get ideas is from her. Take her out shopping for everyone else this year. Most men never go and shop with their wives for presents so they never get to see them drool over what they really want. A woman will look at all of the things she would like to have while shopping for others. The trick is to be aware and listening to her while she is shopping. She will say she really likes this or that more times than you ever thought. You have to think like Frank told you and get her the thing she likes but would never buy it for herself. Just going shopping with her is almost a present to most women.

The best one that is mostly unusual is to find a photograghy studio to have a set of pics of you and her and if you have kids ,them too. Women always love to have those family pics for sentimental reasons.

Another tip is to listen to her from the day after xmas to next xmas and when she keeps mentioning something but never buys it you will have the gift she will enjoy the most.

Another thing that really works is to go to the health and beauty store in your area and get her a very nice bath set for her to relax and enjoy some time to herself and smell her favorite fragrance. Aroma thereapy is wonderful.

You can also get her a day at the local spa where she can get anything from a massage to her nails done along with her hair and a restaurant certificate to a nice place for you and her to be together. This will even get you a present too if you are LUCKY !

Best thing is to just pay attention and she will let it slip out between now and then. Women always give hints to just see if you are listening.

Goodluck

She loves home improvement and gardening. Maybe a gift certificate to the local nursery for her spring time flower beds. We've remodeled the entire house over the last 5 years, so no more of that...at least until my Camaro is finished.

I have to agree with Frank. Jewelry is always a winner. I'm not sure what the budget is, but being from SE Louisiana myself... I would suggest something like this. Fleur de Lis Diamond Necklace

All joking aside. Gift certificates show little to no thought or effort. And with women it really is more about the hours you spent thinking about the gift then the gift itself. I am on a hard hunt for a $100 item this year. And if I nail it she will know I worked my ass off to get it. I will get her other stuff, but the this $100 item will blow away more expensive stuff I will be buying.

If she is into gardening, get her something ridiculous for gardening she would never buy. A special tool maybe. It does not have to cost a lot, just needs to be something they normally would not buy.
