Help: Cant think of a xmas gift for wife

[stuckdad]

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for an Xmas pressie for my wife. We have had our first bub earlier in the year, and she is feeling frumpy, so I don't want to get her clothes cos she is trying to lose weight. The only idea she has really given me is to give her money for a dress for a wedding in January. Only problem is she has access to my money anyway, so thats not really a gift. Can u help please? Thanks.:fingerscrossed:

Perfume and flowers?

Maybe a nice pair of earrings or something? That always makes me feel good! Or a nice bottle of perfume? Something that doesn't remind her of her post-baby body, but still makes her feel good.

the best thing my DH could have got me would have been

a massage!! seriously, buy her a massage voucher and babysit bub so she can enjoy it :D

[DivinelySophistimicated]

Get her a nails appointment...pedicure and manicure..For a saturday or a day when your home to watch bub :) or a hair appointment :)

I think a massage and also a facial

Follow this up with a dinner and sleepover at a nice hotel while baby is babysat o/n (if at all possible)

Flowers etc would be nice touches too - maybe in the room...including a card with a romantic poem (not necessarily one you have written also that would be cute!)

I would go for a pamper day maybe? My bub is due on the 14th November and that is what I will be asking for!!

A pamper package is what i would have said. I would love this present just a day to myself to be treated.
FAcial, pedicure, manicure, massage.

one of my favorite xmas presents is a bracelet with the kids names on it..look up alpha bracelets and similar and you will find all types of jewellry you can get (if she likes that kind of thing.)

DIAMONDS!!

You can never go past diamonds! :D

[Fuchsia!]

yep i would go for a pamper pack too! Also i remember when my DP got me my favourite photo of my son and enlarged it and put it in a beautiful frame, it was my most memorable present. :)

[missmaisy]

hi there,if you haven't had any professional photos done recently of bub, what about sneaking off and getting a photo of the two of you done?They would probably come back just in time? Or if that's too expensive, get a friend to help out and take some special shots of you and bub, and put them in a collage frame.Anything sentimental that my husband does for me gets me everytime!

[missie_mack]

I agree with something to make her feel good about her. I facial or massage or a lovely bottle of perfume or just the time for a haircut and colour. I wouldve killed for some me time after DS was born!!

Hi stuck Dad, go the "maternity" ring! when the second bub comes u can get another matching one. Only problem is they become expected for any other reason. Good luck

I think everyone has given such great ideas.
personaly i would enjoy a whole day of romance send bub 2 a babysitter an take her out for a romatic time first a lovely hotel with a day spa followed by maybe dinner an a quiet nite together snuggling.

[Noah_and_Elijah]

Before you organise to take her away somewhere and find a babysitter for bubs I would actually check to see if she is comfortable with that.

I know that personally, my DS is almost 12 months old and I still refuse to leave him with anyone.

I'd just hate for you to plan a wonderful weekend away for her to say 'no i dont want to leave the baby'

[bronny-jane]

oh a weekend at a health resort or similar... if my dh did this for me, he'd have no problems getting laid for the next year:D

[melbryan]

Thanks Stuck dad your very resourceful. I am showing Dh this thread to give him a Clue?????
He is hopeless at choosing me presents, my 3 yr old might have more of a clue than him.:yes:

[Hokey Pokey]

Shoes, handbag, perfume, sunglasses, body creams/lotions, makeup, jewellry, scrapbooking supplies, something for the kitchen like a nice vegie steamer or a crockpot, movie vouchers, hairdesser, salon voucher, foot massage soaker thingy, oil burner and relaxing oils, cd's, dvd/s, photo frames with photos of the kids/family, book/s, magazine subscription, a voucher to a sport store to buy a nice walking outfit or an ab rocker lol, a puppy dog to take walking, an ipod to listen to music while walking, a nice hat to keep the sun off her while walking :D

:yes: I agree!

[pickles]

A voucher to outdoor cinemas ( with open date to organise babysitting ). A handmade voucher from you with a 'menu' for the picnic ( that you will put together ) - entree / mains and dessert. A nice bottle of champagne etc.

Sometimes it's nice to just have something that is well thought of.

Good luck
