What's everyone buying their wives for Christmas?

A 16ball massager

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!!

 

[NorCal Mixed bag]

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.

 

[ozyclint]

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

 

[tstowater]

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.

Bathroom remodel

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

 

[Beendare]

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....

My wife got one and has been fighting it for months (her birthday present) and sense she will never see this lol, the flour doesn’t taste as good as the chemical enhance stuff she tells me is so bad!

 

[Davyalabama]

Go to Shutterfly.com ---- make her a book, a rug, throw, etc. with pictures of grandbabies and her.

 

[Rock’N Tacos]

One of the things I just ordered my wife is some big oversized comfy hoodie/blankie thing from big blanket co…

I also bought her a massive bath pillow and a chipper (golf club) since golf is our new empty nester phase hobby.

 

[Rebo]

For anyone still looking, my wife asked for a silk pillowcase, so I got two of those and two brand new pillows. apparently silk pillowcases are better for your hair? I didn't go through all the posts to see if this was suggested.

I also bought a new stainless steel frying pan and stock pot (trying a new brand and didn't want to invest $700+ unless she loves them). We are finally in a semi-comfortable place and both have pretty much everything we want so it was hard to shop for her this year because it seems all she wanted was stuff for the house.

 

[Zdub02]

My wife is also difficult to shop for. I messed up and didn't plan well and have our anniversary, her birthday, and Christmas in the same month - triple whammy. Ended up getting her a spa package with her regular girl this year. Hopefully she'll appreciate a day away from me and the kids.

This thread offers a lot of great ideas for future reference - keep em comin' fellas!

I had to look up bath pillows, I'd never heard of such a thing. Now that I have, I think my wife might actually like one, haha. Thanks for the idea.

Do you have a link to that massager? Back surgery helped back and upper leg pain, but not her calf and feet.
