Christmas presents

[SteveSxx]

What can I get my wife for Christmas ?
She is in to craft stuff - so I have bought her some card making stuff
She does not "do" vanity products - so no perfume etc
She is allergic to Chocolate - so that's out
She is not a Clothes horse
Time is rapidly running out - so I need help.............

Good luck.

Book a romantic holiday for you both...

To be honest Steve ... you're leaving it a bit late to be 'thinking' about what to get her...

My mother is crafty (in more ways than one) and I have got her equipment to make lino prints.
You can either get a kit including a tool with blades, inks, a roller and some paper for about �30 but you'll need to buy the lino separately.
Or you can buy the various bits and bobs separately and the lino for about �40.
It's easy to do and the prints look amazing. Any good art shop should stock.

Hi SteveS I sound a bit like your wife apart from the chocolate bit :) - most of my xmas presents every year are craft stuff and I am always happy - this years must have craft item is a Craft Robo (although very expensive and quite hard to come by) although I must admit it doesn't really appeal to me. You can go here http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/ and download some fabby programmes onto a cd for her, I know I would appreciate something like this.

[what..the?]

Some of her fav music??

Buy or make you own mix tape/cd for her?

[funkymoped]

ive given this answer to a previous question, but i still think old photographs are the perfect gift.
put 1 photo for every year youve known her into a single frame. so if youve been togeather for ten years, put 10 photo`s into one frame....

she may not be into vanity stuff, but buy her some sweet smelling perfume all the same. christmas is for both of ya !

The in crafting thing is scrapbooking - you can utilise the photograph idea and make a mini scrapbook of photographs of you both as well as some items to start her off on doing this. QVC does loads of craft items and so do Lakeland Plastics and the Studio catalogues. Embossing is also popular.

Is anyone actually a 'clothes horse'?
