The best way to get ideas is from her. Take her out shopping for everyone else this year. Most men never go and shop with their wives for presents so they never get to see them drool over what they really want. A woman will look at all of the things she would like to have while shopping for others. The trick is to be aware and listening to her while she is shopping. She will say she really likes this or that more times than you ever thought. You have to think like Frank told you and get her the thing she likes but would never buy it for herself. Just going shopping with her is almost a present to most women.

The best one that is mostly unusual is to find a photograghy studio to have a set of pics of you and her and if you have kids ,them too. Women always love to have those family pics for sentimental reasons.

Another tip is to listen to her from the day after xmas to next xmas and when she keeps mentioning something but never buys it you will have the gift she will enjoy the most.

Another thing that really works is to go to the health and beauty store in your area and get her a very nice bath set for her to relax and enjoy some time to herself and smell her favorite fragrance. Aroma thereapy is wonderful.

You can also get her a day at the local spa where she can get anything from a massage to her nails done along with her hair and a restaurant certificate to a nice place for you and her to be together. This will even get you a present too if you are LUCKY !

Best thing is to just pay attention and she will let it slip out between now and then. Women always give hints to just see if you are listening.

Goodluck

I have to agree with Frank. Jewelry is always a winner. I'm not sure what the budget is, but being from SE Louisiana myself... I would suggest something like this. Fleur de Lis Diamond Necklace

I think Frank has the right idea! Give her something that she doesn't expect or won't buy for herself.

No! Get her a set of custom engraved valve covers that say ItDoRun. If she gets mad or says she doesn't like them, say "FINE! I'll take them, then!"

It's the thought that counts right?

Seriously, check out gifts.com. The website has a drill down feature that helps you zero in on ideas that fit her tastes. i.e. Women > Activity & Health >

I think I'll try and find her a necklace and charm with me and my little boy's birth stone in it. Should I add her's in there as well?

We were out shopping yesterday and while it might not be the perfect gift for the wife it is a good gift for anyone on your list who cares about their health and will spend a lot of money and time worrying about it.

Kohls has a UV-C light sanitizer that will kill staph infections and other bacteria, like the ones on your phones ,computers,cutting boards used for cooking and so on.I have seen them used in foreign countries to kill bacteria in water.

They are normally $40 and are now on sale for $20. So if you happen to have a Kohls in your area it's a good deal. If not the company that sells them can be found at
www.markfeldstein.com
they can probably direct you to a place that has them near you.

If your wife is a germophobe she would love you for it !!
