An office colleague of mine once gave his wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas

My dad bought my mum an iron and a wax jacket for their first Christmas together.

[humbersloop]

he wasn't expecting your mum to iron the jacket was he NoM?

[Jemisa]

I think if every man bought his wife, girlfriend lover (which ever the case may be) nice presentation bottle of 'Chanelle No/5' he would never go wrong, if she doesn't like the perfume she will appreciate the thought.

I don't want chocolate either especially the yukky Terry's Chocolate Orange or Ferrero Rocher (or a stiff bright red and white bra from M&S)

[NoMercy]

I hope not, Sloopy.

[Arksided]

An iron and a wax jacket? Won;t ask but she did get 2 pressies :-D

[Arksided]

Alba behave... this is a family site. the gift from the gods is on its way. she doesn't moan about that???

[albaqwerty]

lol Ark, I've been called shameless at 6.30 am :-D

[ummmm]

Hmmmmmmmm

I want him to but me a vacuum cleaner......he says 'NO'

[zebo]

I got a chocolate orange as my 50th birthday present, he could see how chuffed I was, I got an SLR camera for my 60th. Our first Christmas, both students, I got the Robert Carrier cooking cards, never even heard of half the ingredients! I know what I have this year, he's used Amazon and all the emails come to my account, Ian Rankin's newest book and a cover for the Kindle I bought myself in Summer.

[albaqwerty]

hmmm zebo, that doesn't bode well for my 50th next year. (no, no I'm sticking at 49)
Him used to give me money to buy myself something which I then promptly spent on him and the offspring.

[zebo]

albaqwerty, practice "the look", just in case you're as lucky as me. To add insult to injury, I loathe chocolate orange!

[albaqwerty]

lol Zebo, I practice the look on a frequent basis, doesn't seem to help :-D
btw, you are never 60, 45 plus VAT if you don't mind xx

[Barmaid]

I've got this present thing sussed. I go and buy my own present and get him to get his son to wrap it up for me. Result - I get what I want and stepson thinks I have a nice surprise from him and dad.

[albaqwerty]

I tried that a couple of times BM, sons had to go and spill the beans though grrr
trying to swear your own flesh and blood to silence is not working :-D

[zebo]

We did a similar thing Barmaid, a few years ago, we each bought our own present, wrapped it up and the other gave it, instead of not knowing what we were getting, except we wanted it, we didn't know what we were giving. He still complained about what he got though, I apparently had been far more imaginative in choosing mine, even though we both stuck to the £20 budget!

[starone]

We bought cavity wall insulation one Christmas. He paid half and I paid half. That was our Christmas present to each other, and what we both wanted.

[mrs_overall]

One year I wanted something that I knew would be cheaper in the January sales so I told Mr O to buy it then.
On Xmas day he handed me a parcel saying he wanted me to have something to open.
It was a £4.97 (still had the price on) Asda Value Hand Blender.
I nearly brained him with hit.

now there's a Freudian slip if ever I've read one! ^^
