bring her up to the exchange for a few scoops and then bring her upstairs to the hairy pig for a slap up meal, and stick two lotto tickets in a christmas card

nice idea billy the pig but looking for something that she can actually have just for herself

Pandora bracelet? A decent ghd (hair straightener). A flyling lesson (about 100e a throw though).Find out what make up she likes..good selection in debenhams

Get her a hair voucher for somewhere like Hype. Or a spa treatment.

As a woman, I recommend the above i.e hair, spa treatment, her beauticians, clothes vouchers or shoes voucher:D

Can't go wrong with Jewellery! Fields is an Irish company. Or a voucher for a boutique, they can really struggle

wellboytoo

ex_infantry man

thanks for the replies and idea,s so far folks keep em coming so i can build up a good idea in me head, am liking the idea bout pandora and spa, she has a hair straightener but don,t know if it ghd ????

deisemum

Has she any hobbies or interests?

YumDeiseMum

Pandora is a real good idea if she likes jewellery.
My other half bought me one a couple of years back and I have it full now between himself and my daughter buying charms for birthdays, christmas, mothers day etc since then.

Voucher for fish spa . gift voucher from you to her for you know what to the value of your choice . babliss big hair - its like a hair dryer and brush. combined new shoes- but if your sense of style is bad-don't . bicycle helmet. paint a room for her . wash the windows . power hose the footpaths .maybe a top up on gift voucher mentioned

thomasm

Take her away for a night over Christmas, someplace nice, good food, log fires. Love Lyrath Estate for this kinda treat and good deals generally available on website. She will be delighted

Keea

Make-up if she's into that. Some nice eyeshadows, mascara, lippy etc. Ladies in Sam McCauley's or Mulligans should be able to sort you out if you want to shop local.

Try the sex shop on O Connell St plenty of things in there that she can use just for herself.if that fails try Kervicks fruit and veg shop😜

Pandoras are great cause it takes the pressure of ever having to think what to get her again. If you get stuck just buy a few charms....it gets filled up , buy the necklace.

Support Waterford jewellers !!!

Max Powers

Voucher for debenhams or one of those beauty salons or hairdressers around Waterford, my missus loves the bay spa out in tramore, hype hairdressers, salon 16 (beside gingerman).

You know you probably will have to buy a few of the rings that go on the bracelet too. Good luck anyway.

ex_infantry man

If you're going to go down the pandora route, you can't go wrong with John Martins in Georges Court, in my experience the staff there are lovely and I have often gotten a few euro off if you're buying more than 1 charm

comeraghs

agree about John Martin jewelers! very fair people!

longshanks

I offer a discreet service. For €50 she gets half an hour, €100 gets an hour and €200 gets the whole night.
Book early to avoid disappointment.

notfromhere

seen on the ghd website 50% off 2 day know u said about buying in waterford bt money is money

I suppose it depends what age bracket your in?

I mean if your in your 40's with kids your not going to be getting her two tickets to IBIZA for DJ spinsalot, chomping down the disco biscuits! ha

Or if your young enough, you dont want to get her a subsrciption to How to crochet.

You have to give us more hints about yous, married? young? Kids?

I got my mother a coal bucket and small shovel one year for chrismas, legend i am! ha

she,s 25 i,m 28 no kids not married but live together, haha your mad boy what your mam think when she saw it

Not The Real Scarecrow

worst one I ever heard of was a fella buying the missus a power drill for their wedding anniversary.Obviously she wasn't happy so he bought her an ironing board to make up for it!

ziedth

I'm going in tomorrow to find the wife something. She's a nightmare to shop for so I'm hoping to chance upon something nice.

Pandora is a great shout but I got her one last year and she's already getting a couple of charms.

If you cant find anything else Pandora have a lovely range of necklaces and rings now too, which would compliment the bracelet.

Well your age makes a big difference, so your going to be looking for things for a younger couple, as appose to what i mentioned earlier.

Well i was a kid when I bought me mam the bucket and shovel for the coal, The thing i forgot to metion was the bucket was plastic and melted after awhile sitting beside the fire.

I would say book something for the two of yee, a weekend at amber springs or a trip away to paris for a weekend. although youd probably want something for there and then too. Then again you could get her a few pole dancing lessons! ha!

I think jewelry and charms is a great idea I have a pandora bracelet myself or as an alternative you could look at Thomas Sabo charms and bracelets in Kneisels, my cousin has one and the charms are different and as pandora is quite common, might be nice to go for something slightly different. They also had watches in the window called "Toy watch" they seem to be the new big thing.
If she likes to read how about a kindle?
Also a couple of suggestions taken from Today Fm, alternative weekends away check out this site http://www.irishlandmark.com/RestoredProperties.aspx

or make up a hamper with some of her favourite things, hair products, perfume, chocolate.

Not to be negative I would stay away from vouchers as under the current climate you can't guarantee shops etc. to stay open!

Myself I would like a nespresso machine.. i think I'll be still waiting for one next xmas :cool:
