    Hi,

    Would like to know if there are any IT presents this year that I've missed.

    We're with each other a good few years - so have got her most of the usual presents, coats, bags, scarf (only real failure), jewelry, spa vouchers.

    Will be getting her an eternity ring next year so that's 2012 covered.

    She's not really into gadgets, but what I've liked so far is the hamper idea from another thread.

    I could perhaps get shoes - Karen Milken has been suggested - I do know her shoe size. I remember ghd was all the rage one year - anything like that this year?

    I don't think you can go wrong with a weekend away. Go to London and take in a West End show?

    I love this idea! And it will be obvious you've thought about the gift and what she'd like and gone to some effort to track down the vinyl.

    Im glad i am not the only one conpletely confused about my wifes christmas present.

    She has been throwing hints around about what she wants.
    She is a big shoe fan but knowing my luck i would pick the wrong thing so maybe a voucher for a shoe shop.
    Do office shoes do vouchers?
    She is big into makeup aswell and I saw on facebook some makeup artists sell vouchers for lessons or something.
    Anyone have any info?

    Anyone hear on todayfm yest - Ray D'Arcy show I think Mairead made suggestions for a hamper to put together - had bits and pieces in it like a bottle of her favourite wine, photos of kids and other stuff. I want to make up something for her from our little daughter. Any suggestions?

    Make a little card/poster with your daughter and put it on top of all the other things in your hamper!

    @ John you should check out the makeup artist below. She is doing a special on gift vouchers for makeup lessons at the minute on Facebook.

    Hope that helps,

    Great deals on groupon for breaks away which are always great, the best gifts from my boyfriend are often our trips away together!

    You could do a trip within Ireland to somewhere nice that has a spa or down to Killarney and book a good gig down there for the two of you to go to?

    Arnott's have special leather slippers for €85, but make sure you get them a size smaller than required. Good luck.
