Sarah 350z Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 So basically what does everyone usually get their partner for Xmas? I've been with my partner for three years and I'm running out of ideas he is car mad like us all and usually I always buy for his P1 Subaru or drift car but the P1 is long gone and the drift car is up for sale so really no point in getting something for it. So yea what does everyone get their partner? Quote
Mrs Buster Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 If we shared that now it wouldnt be a surprise How about a private plate ? Quote

I've been with my partner for three years and I'm running out of ideas Sarah, sorry, but there is no hope for you. It's our 30th wedding anniversary next year and 34 years together. Now that's when thinking of pressies is DIFFICULT....... (and being male as well, that makes it even more difficult) Quote

ioneabee Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 list (of some) of the presents to my missus over the years (20 now) wheelbarrow (with pink ribbon) toilet seat (she made me fit it on xmas day strangely) tumble dryer (really pushed the boat out on that one) spare part for vacuum cleaner (strangely, I had to fit that one on xmas day too) 1 quality street (no not a box full.......moment on the lips and all that) there are a few more, but can't remember them off the top of my head Quote
rabbitstew Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Im very hard to buy for because if i want something I just go out & buy it. What i do try and do is restrain myself before xmas and just give the missus a list. So for example last year I got some pliers, welding rods, mole grips, rachet spanners (wicked) etc.. This year im getting a new cordless power drill - although its anoying having to wait as my old one is on deaths door and making DIY jobs hard atm! I also usually get socks, underwear, a few books, bottle of whisky and a terrys orange. And thats more than enough for me! The missus is just has difficult to buy for. This year i went out and spent £400 on a kitchenaid mixer like they have on the TV food programs as I remembered she mentioned earlier in the year she`d like one. Now she tells me I can buy her a £15 hand mixer instead if im struggling to get her anything as its just as good. Sigh! 1 Quote

I do ask what do you want but I never get a sensible answer its always and X5 or M3 I get told ATM and all those tools I wouldn't have a clue if he needed any Quote
brillomaster Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 bah humbug... i dont bother much with christmas.... first rule with me is, if you dont tell me something i can get you, you arent getting anything. this year i have asked for beer, a pint glass, a calendar and a CD, but as been said before if i want anything i normally just go out and buy it myself. i just wish other people would take the same view, since we still have all of last years unwanted presents sitting in the bag they came home in. if in doubt, consumables. In my house we dont have room for any more stuff, anything we want we already have, so just go for beer for me and chocolates and wine for her and we're both sorted. Quote
