UNABASHED Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Got the other half all the main presents for christmas but I set a minimum limit of presents this year and I'm still 2 short! Anyone got any ideas - literally anything - for small gifts (i.e. inexpensive) as she's got all the big ones sorted now! Quote
HassanZ Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 In your terms, what is 'inexpensive and small'? Quote
Jay Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 In your terms, what is 'inexpensive and small'? Well something small is something small lol..... and inexpensive I reckon would be under £40 Quote
ds2000 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Nina Ricci Nina is a big hit with ladies this year..... (£30 - £50) Thorntons with her name on it (£3-10) A trip to La Senza or if she's cold like mine always wants to be, an electric blanket for the bed (I should add this is NOT her main present and more of a joke one - yet I know it'll be the one she uses most ) Quote

ioneabee Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I just bought a new linen/washing basket for my better half, which will be nicely wrapped and put under the tree (an I'm not joking) Quote

Iwantone Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 A couple of Christmases back, I bought my good lady a new battery for her Fiesta! All wrapped up and everything. Her car had been a bugger to start and her face lit up when she saw the battery. She knew her reliable motoring was restored. Quote

She must have got really excited looking at the weight of the thing when wrapped up!! I would be quite disappointed unwrapping it and realising it's a car battery Quote

I would be quite disappointed unwrapping it and realising it's a car battery It's okay being done up to the nines and reeking of Channel No. 5, then getting to your car and finding that the battery is flat AGAIN. She really loved the prezzie and it's still doing it's job to this day! Quote
