There's supposed to be this really nice Lapland place somewhere in Dorset I've been hearing about. Couple of tickets for that and you've got yourself a nice day out in the Crimbo hols. She'll be CHUFFED.

You used to be able to pay to have a star named after someone.
Not sure if the service is still available but it was a nice touch I thought and something a bit different

Why bother getting VOUCHERS for her ? Just give her CASH instead, then she can spend it wherever she WANTS.
And you can make a dirty evening out of it, making out she's a PROSSIE and that.

Because vouchers says ''I couldn't really be that bothered to think of something but giving cash just makes one look a **** so here you are''.
I am now looking into some nice nightwear and she has just bought a new duvet and that.

Reading between the lines you have managed that in the past and no longer have the confidence to make a choice
Been there, done that. Women can be a nightmare, unless of course it's diamonds when it is impossible to go wrong....

men...
I might just have the answer for you.
When you look at it, in the cold light of day, a couple of years ago, I just gave Wifey cash.
But here's the deal:-
£100, and an auction house catalogue.
She had to research the auction, see what she liked, then go alone and bid for it.
Wifey seemed quite impressed and certainly got into the swing of it.
But as I said, all I did, was basically give her cash, and request a brochure.

Tell you what I did one year, as an extra pressie for the missus (not her MAIN one of course).
I strumbled out of the pub on Christmas Eve far later than I had intended, and staggered up the High Street in Haywards Heath on a mission to buy her "something". It was about 5.30 (I'd been in the pub since lunchtime), and the only thing that was still open was a Robert DYAS. So I blearily perused a few pressure cookers and saucepans, before happening across an ELECTRIC BLANKET. She's ALWAY moaning about being cold, so I bought it.
Here's the really GOOD bit though. I couldn't be bothered to wrap it, and the state I was in it would have ended up looking like it had already been opened once. So I got home (after almost leaving it on the train), sneaked upstairs and INSTALLED it on the bed without her knowing, and switched it on. Had a very pleasant Christmas Eve evening with the egg nog, Baileys, mint Matchmakers, Twiglets and a DVD.
So then the time comes for us to troop up the wooden hills. She climbs into the surprising and completely unexpected WARMTH of the freshly electrocuted bed. I gave a cheeky wink and slurred "Merry Christmas darling". She got out and punched me in the face.
(she didn't really - she was well chuffed. The blanket didn't come off till about May).

Brighton vs Colchester United = £24.50. It says I love you and am prepared to sit with you in the cold and rain, because thats how much i LOVE you *COMMITED*
My wife's always WHINING about the cold. I'm gonna pinch that idea. CHARS EASY.

Because it's thoughtful, it might not of cost loads but it shows you've thought about it (or perhaps not) and you installed it in the bed as well, extra. Well done
