What are you getting your wife (or significant other) for Christmas?

Since this is the O/T forum, and it's that time of year, I was wondering what others are getting their wives (or significant other) for Christmas...

To start things off, I'm planning to get mine a few items off of Etsy, as well as a few CDs and books. I figure there will be a good amount of practical and amusing in my gift selection.

Well played sir. You have now verified she does not read this forum

Um while I wish that was true, she has been know to stumble through here, Both she and I know that should I really buy her a dish cloth, my life would not be a very happy one for some time to come

The other thread was good, but let's hear from those who hope to find something under the tree this year. Are you asking for anything special? Dropped any hints?

Im hoping for some new "toys" and already got an early gift. The lil lady brought home a new Nikon D3200 for me. Totally unexpected.

I merged these together. No need for two threads about Christmas presents.

If she's the one, it's always the right time. Unless of course if she's holding out for a $15K Tiffany's platinum ring.

I ordered her a nook tablet today instead of a ring. Looks like we'll have to wait until next year,

...maybe.

I put down stuff I need and don't feel like buying. Socks, boxers, white t's, new alarm clock, some stuff for the truck. Basically stuff I'd rather not buy and could put the money to better use by purchasing something 'techy'.

Hey - I got the exact same thing. And she threw in an extra 55-200 lens with it.

Random spontaneous purchase late last night... Canon Rebel T4i for the wife. Been watching them for awhile and a great deal came along, couldn't pass it up.

Besides the massage and keurig, I am adding an ipad mini. Won it at the office christmas party eating contest.

I'm getting my wife a few items to appeal to her semi geeky side, like the My Zombie Family stickers for her car, some plush microbes (Gangrene and Herpes) to appeal to the nursing student in her, and a giant plush Alien face hugger. We're both geeks, just in different ways.

If I had more scratch, I'd get her the Mossberg she's been ogling (20 ga. pump, youth model to match her short wingspan), but we're spending most of the money on the kid this year.
