A vintage Spong No1 Coffee Grinder, this one in fact:





Also, something along these lines. And possibly the certificate framed. Or something.

Canvas of the favourite of our wedding photos

This! I want this! I might buy myself one.

We opened it to test it yesterday!

Works perfectly. Bit of adjustment and it's producing a lovely espresso grind. Making a drink is now quite the event!

It's been mounted to a shelf in the kitchen and the box has gone under the tree! She loves it.

I added a 3 month subscription from Small Batch Coffee in Brighton to keep her going. And some socks.

A canvas of her two favorite GS dogs thru a fellow PH'er, a skiing trip to Banff next week , and I just got her a huge contract for her framing business . Brownie points for me

You won't have anywhere near as many points as me when I present her with this brightly coloured veiny thing.




Yes I know i'm leaving myself wide open to abuse here

Potentially the single most useful post I've read on here.

Just taken a look and any of those will work.

Combined with chocolates and a decent bottle of wine and I've got thoughtful and instant gratification sorted.

What I have done since yr 1 is always purchase an annual Christmas decoration from G Jensen. Nice tradition she loves (especially when I found one from the year we first met). On top of other prezzies of course.

Cheers I've just ordered one for the Mrs they look good.

Went for this. I'll wake up tomorrow hungover but at least confident an effort has been made.

Buying my wife a car today. Last night she reminded me I need to buy her a Christmas present and apparently a car doesn't count.

Fluffy dice it is then.

Last week she told me I could buy a bench for the hall for her, I didn't say if I would get it.

This week I told her her present was being built and wouldn't arrive until between Christmas and her birthday. She told me it had better not be a bench for the hall because that can't count as a Christmas present and she needs a "big" present on the day.

If she weren't pregnant...

A car. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, to waft in silence between school drop off/friends/shops/dog walks/coffee shops/instructing cleaners/shops..............did I mention shops+coffee+friends combined. Oh and lunches ( hard life)

This comment belongs in the council thread. Elsewhere you should try to not be rude to people.

Just bought a pair of leather gauntlets from Liberty to appease her after the inevitable Lego building fallout. Thank you so much to Mr Tracy for the inspiration.

[stupidbutkeen]

Honestly she has yet to tell me.
Her birthday was today and she only told me what she wanted yesterday after I said to her if she dont tell me she gets nothing. She picked a new handbag and a pair of jeans.
She has yet to tell me what she wants for xmas. I will buy her nothing until I know the money I spend goes on something she will want/use, And not something she will go giddy at in front of me then throw the gift in the box room with all the other tat and stuff we have no use for but she cant let me take to the dump/charity shops.

[briang9]

not a lot, we have most things we need, and if at anytime we need anything throughout the year..then we buy it. So we agreed this year to spend the money we normally spend on Xmas tat on a holiday, time together in a nice place is much much more precious than any crap Xmas tat neither of you need
