If you called me 'the wife' you'd get the saucepans nicely fitted over your head or the tools would ensure that you sung soprano.
There are other wives.

There are other wives.Jill, I think that you and I would get along really well!
To me, 'The wife' is only one notch up from "The Missus"!!

To me, 'The wife' is only one notch up from "The Missus"!! I too would use the saucepans on your head and the tools to remove them - like an electric saw

oh, you ladies are so hard to please
, looks like a trip to the jewellers ................How MuchI saw a beautiful necklace in Jersey so OH went in (casual like) to enquire of its price .... £37,000 - with matching bracelet at £20,000.
I think it'll be Swarovski instead.
Jewellery is always acceptable to me Huskydog but price depends on you and it depends on what lifestyle you enjoy. I love necklaces and rings. If your wife has pierced ears, it makes choosing a gift a little easier I think.
We try not to go mad with gifts for each other these days, preferring that the family have good gifts.
Does your good lady not give out subtle hints or have you missed them?
Best of luck.

We've stopped doing presents it seems silly, if we want something we buy it, why wait to see if someone will buy it for you. My sister and BIL buy what they want then hand it to each other for wrapping up then they put them under the tree to open on Christmas
morning. I stopped dropping hints to OH years ago as he never listened so took the approach "you can get me that for Christmas
if you like" wait till Christmas day to find not what I had suggested but something else that 'he' thought I might like 0 -
We never spend a lot on each other at Christmas , as I Usally give her plenty of surprises through out the year
I've gone for a compromise ...a set of saucepans with jewel encrusted handles......I might get a saw in return,but of the "sore" variety
, ouch
that hurt dear0 -
For years David and I (David hereafter referred to as 'The Partner;) have kept lists of 'Things I would like...........' These are updated whenever we see anything we like, and just before Christmas with things we need............! By Christmas these
lists can run to quite a lot of very varied items.Our family do the same, and about a month before Christmas we exchange lists. That way someone can choose whether to buy 'the partner' the crowbar, the North Yorkshire Ordnance Survey map, or the spade that he really wants, or the bottle of very special
wine that's also on his list. They can choose the nice pearl earrings that are on mine, or the more essential new measuring jug, digital scales, or the 'I would very much like this' Paul Carrack CD that I also put on my list! I hope someone's taken the hint!0 -

Aldi is selling them at £3.99 and it's a 1 litre, Pyrex made, one as well.

Nip into Ann Summers and buy something totally inappropriate. Could be the best Chrissy ever!
But what do you get the Mrs BB?
