What are you getting your wife for Christmas this year?

[Fatcamp]

I'm gonna frame pictures from our past year with the kids. Buy used frames from Goodwill and prints from Walmart.

Easy and heartfelt.

As someone who has witnessed someone get a vacuum for a gift, I cannot advise against it more. If you need a new vacuum buy a new vacuum, do not make it so it's a present.

Gift cards and something you know she likes like a certain coffe, socks, pjs, whatever but do not give her cleaning supplies as a gift.

Ah yes, it’s that time of year to think about what to buy the ol wifey.

Vacuum is not a good idea. A broom is cheaper.

Getting my wife some good merino base layers. She’s suffered in silence with cheap poly underwear for a while and was cold last weekend hunting

Haha. My wife likes vacuums, Ive bought two in the past, always a hit. She needs a handheld upgrade. She only likes practical gifts. I know it’s strange.
The broom is for my 2 year old. If they are old enough to toddle they are old enough to toddle with broom and snow shovels.

I have it bad fellas.... I have Christmas, then our anniversary Jan 28th and then her birthday Feb 8th. So I spend pre hunting season getting her gifts bought so I can focus on hunting season and not have to worry about shopping. So I will give you three ideas!

my wife is a bird watcher so for Christmas I got that theme going with some vortex binos, some birding books and a bino harness

for our anniversary I went to a local blacksmith and he is making us a custom kitchen knife set. https://www.forgedinkol.com/

for her birthday I am going to make a magnetic hanger for the knife set for the kitchen wall.

Best thing my wife did was change her name to ‘Plaintiff’ ten years ago. Haha!

So much depends on her. She may be set on jewelry, but a unique piece that suits her. For example, my wife hunts mushrooms and loves bugs, so I orded a set of these for her. https://theethjewelry.myshopify.com...s/products/mushroom-hoop-earrings-with-snails

Not sure, she hasn't told me yet.

And more practical. For some wives brooms are dual purpose.....

 

[Don Qui Puncher]

Pregnant....

Pregnant....

The end result is her present, the "shopping for it" was yours... lol

Haha....this made me laugh.

Man, this thread started strong talking about guy’s wives wanting hunting gear and cool stuff like that. I began thinking “wow, these guy’s wives are way cooler than mine” as my wife has zero interest in hunting.

Then I kept reading and started finding less and less interesting gifts (to me at least) and it made me feel less jealous and more normal.

 

[Squamch]

Not sure what I will be getting her this year but is 2005 I bought her a brand new Yukon XL 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive with a 8.1 liter motor and a dual transmission.
Basically a 4 wheel drive Bus with all the goodies,
And you know what ? it sure works well for those long distance hunting trips. Yes it was for her

A dual trans set up? Bizarre. Why? I understand the gearing advantages, but why not an aftermarket tcase?

My wife...I have no idea. Probably a grab bag of expensive cosmetic/body care type stuff that makes me sneeze, and a gift cert for a lingerie store and hope she doesn't use it for pajamas.

 

[MuleyFever]

Giving my wife a gravity blanket for her birthday next week...I’ll let ya know how she likes it.

My wife is always under a blanket. You’ll have to report back on this.

Me and my wife both agree that unless it involves our son or a major emergency, hunting season trumps all. Easiest way to avoid doing something you really don't want to do is go hunting.

 

[Jaker_cc]

Probably the new Mathews Prima

 

[mtwarden]

my wife really wants a good small binocular, so getting her Maven’s B3 8x30

she never told me this, but after 39 years of marriage, I know she wants this

 

[IdahoElk]

Fry pan and a cookbook, all kidding aside I’m getting her a washing machine
