What are you buying your misses for Christmas?

I need ideas, I have no idea what to get her.. we said we would have a £50 budget which is a big drop as I usually end up spending £300 but we agreed not this year.

The thing is, you can get loads for a man with £50 but feels like gifts for women are really expensive.

I need ideas on what to get a woman with an interest in nothing.

    You know her, or so you should. Try buying what she will think you have thought about what to buy her.

    Nothing worse than using the generic gifts unless you are talking one off presents costing thousands.

    Favourite band - Concert tickets - Signed Vinyl
    Favourite author - Signed book
    Favourite colour - Artwork or pillows etc

    Things she has mentioned she always wanted to do but hasn't. Horse riding lesson etc

    Things that she likes eg animals. A day lama feeding.

    You get the drift. Make it personal. Only you should know the answer & some things are cheaper than you think.

    Use your imagination. (edited)

    Cute sparkly everyday earrings from tkmaxx or similar/ oodie from amazon reseller 'trueface' (if she's forever cold) /dashcam for her car/ insulated coffee flask (contigo?)/ one of those pillows which Prop you up in bed for reading books or telly watching (have two small arms on either side of the back cushion- comfy/ a nice perfume gift set similar to the scent she likes.

    There's loads of stuff out there, but the above is practical as opposed to just throwaway.

    '...a woman with an interest in nothing.'

    Rather insulting, but of course it goes both ways she is with you!

    I'm sure she doesn't want anything. She's just grateful that you are still alive and haven't frozen to death like you suggest you might every winter..........:)

    Spa treatment, gift card for your fave restaurant or a restaurant that's usually out of your budget, experience day, her fave perfume, charm bracelet with a meaningful charm, jewellery, a gift card for a shopping center like meadowhall or Trafford centre.

    Gifts for women aren't necessarily expensive and many times, they are not about money or things. What does your wife spend the most effort on? Maybe the gift you can give her is of time - freeing her up from everyday mundane stuff for one day a week for the next few months or more.

    Just buy her £50 worth of toilet roll

    Maybe let her have one of your dresses she's had her eye on?

    Magic coffee table.
    I bought one for the Mrs several years ago. Honest. She will thank you.

    Here is a review.

    Hmm. An interest in nothing?! Has no hobbies?
    I am on the flip side buying for a man. He does have interests but I may well ask him what he would like.
    Some ideas (maybe): A cashmere scarf, a lower end watch, ring etc.

    A ring?

    Don't frighten him off

    I would give her £50 and she get what she wants or ask her what she wants. That way, the money isn't wasted on something she doesn't really want.

    She just says whatever I get her she will like.. I'm not falling for that trick.

    A common ruse to fool us men - this is NEVER the case and is simply a test

    If you're really stuck on what to get her then gift cards are your way forward. It could be for her favourite shop/restaurant/hotel/cinema, there are loads to choose from. This way it's still a gift from you, you've put thought into it because it's for something she'll like and she can choose how she spends it.
