I am utterly rubbish at buying Christmas presents for my partner Mrs B. The suggestions you see online seem to be no better than the ones a rubbish present buyer might have.
Do any PHers have any good ideas they'd care to share? Can be stuff purchasable online or something a bit different. All help gratefully received.

What is she into? Any hobbies?

Is there a particular brand of perfume she likes or jewellery?

How much are you looking to spend?

So many questions before anyone can really help.

How long is a piece of string?

Budget? What does she like? Does she want material things to open on Christmas morning or a card with a ticket to a Robbie Williams concert?

PJs.

Women love new PJs. Always a good place to start.

My process is to ignore/dismiss things my wife says she likes throughout the year, add it to notes on my phone and then buy it for Birthdays/Christmas.

Handy to also have a ‘go to’ jewellery brand - mine likes Thomas Sabo, so a charm/earrings etc make a decent stocking filler.

Nice thought, that's something I do but stupidly I tend to get her it at the time. I'll have a gander at the jewellery, generally speaking she prefers handmade/local stuff to branded but that one sounds suitably obscure.

Ha yes she would love the idea of that but the reality of space in the house (lack of) makes it a non-starter.
