Help! Last Minute Gift Ideas Please...

[Goonermatt]

...for a 30 something woman (the wife).

I've left it to the last minute, I am a man after all. I've got a 'main' gift, but need some small, 'stocking filler' type ideas.

Any ideas are more than welcome, but chocolates/flowers/make-up are a no-no.

TIA

Favourite perfume, a small item of jewellery, a scarf, posh tights, books, CD, DVD, voucher for a beauty treatment, gloves....the list is endless

well if you believe the adverts, in one ad break i've just seen 2 ads claiming they are "the perfect xmas present"
1) that feet shaver thing (boke)
2) the olympics on dvd

perfume perfume perfume - and more perfume

But not anti-wrinkle cream.
It always amuses me to see men at the beauty counter on Christmas Eve buying anything the 'consultant' advises and is desperate to move off the shelves.

A dressing gown always seems to go down well, a decent one, warm and cozy!
Maybe perfume, dvd's, candles for the home, bath products. Anything that says "you work really hard so relax and pamper, you deserve it" should get brownie points for you!!

Go to Marks and Spencer and go into the "nightware" section and get a nice pair of pyjamas or dressing gown (or both).

They often package pyjamas or dressing gowns into "Xmas" packages.

Make her something, she'd love it - you can get things like 'paint your own mug' - get that and cover it in hearts, her name etc. My OH did it for me, painted a caricature of me on it (looked like a four-year old had done it, mind you!) with our names, added a few other things. It made me smile, sometimes it it really the thought that counts!

diamond earrings are really teeny :)

This is all gold, cheers!

All except your suggestions, bednobs! If i get my missus a foot shaver or the Olympics on DVD, i'll be out of the house before the turkey is in the oven. Seriously, who in advertising thinks that those things are 'perfect'?!!!
