What's everyone buying their wives for Christmas?

Mine has had her eye on a grain mill for a couple years.

Mockmill is the way to go. Don’t bother with the kitchenaid attachment or most of the others

Wife really enjoys her cast iron skillet so thought I'd see if she likes a steel one. Should be a lot lighter than cast.

I’m quite possibly the world’s worst Christmas shopper. I struggle every year. It’s difficult because, like others have already said, if we need or want something we just buy it. So this thread has been helpful. Keep it coming!!

Getting the Mrs. a heated, variable speed foot and calf massage unit that matches the Perfect Chair zero gravity in the game room I can’t keep her out of. Have no issues providing the actual foot rubs myself, but I hunt a lot! She’ll love it.

I often buy mine some relatively expensive purses or other leather accoutrements we can well afford but she would never buy herself. See Coach hobo-style or slouch bag; yet to meet a woman that doesn’t melt over purses. I’m more of a brand snob than my wife; it’s pathetic, but she always marvels how I know what’s in style at the moment…

She loves to travel all over the world, and even if I’m not going on a particular trip, I either sponsor a major part of it or make arrangements for her and friends/family to attend a world class restaurant/sporting event/tour/yachting experience - something unique. And/or, if the exchange rates are favorable(ish), I get her some phat stacks of the local currency to spend wildly.

I do everything I can to spoil her rotten; she’s one of the best wives a man could ask for. Gorgeous, killer career, humble, smart, thoughtful - and has realistic expectations. I wish the same for all of you this holiday season! I say spoil ‘em fellas, they put up w/a lot of shenanigans…….

Thanks for the suggestion! She had borrowed a Komo Classic from a friend (and liked it) so that’s our only reference but it looks like the Mockmill is pretty similar, maybe a little better?

3/4 carat diamond earrings.

I built her a tensegrity table to have beside her egg chair on the deck.

I've since painted the frame and varnished the top

I have the best wife and she is extraordinarily low maintenance and difficult to shop for. Our daughter is getting married next summer so that is our current focus. If I find something useful to make her life better, I will get it. Sometimes it's the little things.

You can get an extended magazine that holds 2 strips.

The DeWalt nailer is 2 pounds lighter and it really shows in use compared to the Milwaukee, but the fly wheel on the Dewalt is louder (still much better than a pneumatic) and has to spin up. Having used both, you should get your wife a DeWalt framing nailer for Christmas.

Good one. I have a couple air powered nailers that are community property- so I guess you could say she already has a few options. I've used a few, and even the gas cartridge nailers which are noticeably lighter...but you go through a lot of cartridges.

Re the Milwaukee nailer; Its a great tool...and when I can assist with both hands on the ground or a roof its not a big deal but my back is feeling it when I have to do a bunch of nailing off a ladder. These electric tools have gotten way better. The Makita worm drive saw is one of the best tools around.



She is getting the window...but I think I'm going to sweeten the deal and throw in a Makita 18v Impact wrench just to show how much I appreciate her.


What woman doesn't want that? Grin

Don't worry, she is getting you a Louis Vuitton "satchel".

The one time I bought my wife a purse and they give you a Louis shopping bag and I walked out of there feeling like the biggest sucker on the planet....
