What have you got the other half for Christmas ?
Discussion
My missus has an Amazon wish list, so I buy that, then drops hints, so I buy that, then buys herself some stuff from my account anyway, I need some ideas for some surprises as it has got a bit formulaic.
How much do you lot spend ?
And I did the massive sparkly dildo gift last year before it gets mentioned
So far,
Several Books
A Pandora charm
a CD
A bottle of Champagne
Some car mats for her car (who says romance is dead)
Some perfume
A Chocolate Orange
A Calendar
A jumper as well apparently, but I have not seen that yet and we will need to go through the charade of me wrapping up something she has already chosen and tried on, what is that all about ?

Me and the missus have decided we're not really buying presents this year as we're going to treat ourselves to a mini break early next year and we both earn relatively sod all so I've got her this year:
some box set of smelly bath crap from lush
A new hand bag and purse to go with it
A few bud ducks (funky rubber ducks with different designs on that women seem to like collecting)
This is England DVD
I did consider doing her one of those personalised coupon books (This ticket gets you 1 back massage etc) but it seems a bit naff
reading my post back I havent actually helped you at all, sorry!

As others, we're not getting each other anything this year. Spending what money we do have on the kids.
We're having our loft converted in the new year to a new master bedroom with en-suite so that's our Christmas gift to each other for the next 20 odd years
She's also a full time Mum at the moment so firstly money is a bit tight for us and secondly she'd only be spending my money to buy me stuff that I don't really need at the moment. Therefore no presents.

I'm getting mine a food mixer. She likes making cakes and wants to try bread making so it'll be right up her street. Can't decide which one to get her though. Kitchen Aid is a bit out of the price range as I'm looking to spend £200 max.
I'll also get her some other small things like cosmetics and maybe some perfume.
I'm getting a router (wood working, not networking) from her.

If only it was £165 off the price instead of £165 worth of free gifts I don't need! Thanks for the link though :-)There's quite a good Kenwood Kitchen Machine reduced from £400 to £230 that I've seen. You can't beat the design of the Kitchen Aid though.
A load of pricey make up from Charlotte Tilbury that she wants.
A load of not that pricey clothes from Asos that she wants.
My personal favourite, a current monopoly board game that she was getting nostalgic about the other day. The boxes are a lot smaller than they used to be, I expect all the money and stuff will be too.
Quite a step down from the holiday in Mexico I bought us last year.

SWMBO has decided that we are not getting each other anything this year, on the basis that if either of us wants anything (within reason) then we just buy it anyway.
We agree this every year but I still always buy her stuff as I feel guilty if I don't.
Win Win - for her anyway...

We've decided not to get each other unwanted stuff this year but to buy whatever we want ourself's. So far she has bought a few clothes in the sale and I have bought myself a Phantom 3 Pro drone costing just over 1K so not doing too bad really
I suspect this was your idea? Nice move if it was A bag from canada

Not much else as we limit it to circa £100 for presents.
Simply down to the fact if we want anything at anytime of the year we will just buy it, no need to wait.
Also got her a kindle and a fire tv too, but as they are for both of us really they don't count.
