She's been telling me "I don't need/want anything", and I've fallen for it too many times, and been left dealing with a grump over the holidays

Got some time to run out and pick up some things today - what have you guys gotten for your significant others this year?

Mine does this to me every year, very irritating.
I got her the pasta attachment for her kitchen aid mixer.
I also got her new tires, but that hardly counts as a gift even though they are quite nice.

A new purse and a heated blanket.

We haven't exchanged gifts since we were 20, takes a lot of stress out of the holiday. It was fun when the kids came around though, because we can watch them open stuff.

I did buy her a new bowling ball and wrapped it up a few years ago.

On the tag I wrote it was from the big fat guy at the bowling alley. I think for a minute she thought it was true.

Yep.

Good  grief I had my gifts ordered and in the house weeks ago lol. It's not hard to pay attention to things over the course of the year and come up with some relevant and thoughtful gifts.

Lol, bullshit

Not paying attention is my specialty.

Mine is the same way, never has anything she wants and is really ok with not getting much. I got her a pair of Sonos Solo SL speakers, a new neckace from James Avery, weathertech floor mats for her new car, and a couple Funko Pops from her favorite show, Schitt's Creek.

Mine is on some crafty kick lately so I got her a Cricut and all the shit to go with it. Bonus, now she can cut out spicy meme vinyls for me to offend people with.

Mine does the "I don't know. I don't need anything" crap as well.  So I started getting her gifts that I can enjoy.  Guns .  This year I got her a S&W M&P15-22 braced pistol.

I got mine 23 and Me with the health screening.

Usually I get her much more but this year has been crazy and nothing is in stock anywhere of what she wants.

What’s your budget? A little late to buy. I’d probably treat her to a weekend somewhere. Hotel. Nice dinner. Maybe an activity.

I got mine a mothers ring with everyone's names engraved in it and she seemed to really like it. I gave it to her yesterday because we will be busy on Christmas Eve/day.

Depending on where you are I’d do:

Weekend At a resort with time for some kind of water skiing or riding jet skis, maybe ATVing or renting a side by side.

I'm in the same situation. She truly wants only one thing and it is absolutely impossible to make happen.
All I can do is give her hug and hold when she starts crying again.

my mother likes to stop and shop at the local consignment store.
i got her a 50 singles as one of her presents and wrote her a note to see how many trips she can get out of the 50$ and she has to call and tell me what she buys.

i got the wife some plastic storage containers that are always useful

maybe a pen with a stylist on the other end for use at stores so she doesnt have to use the credit card pen

I usually by my GF a nice kitchen knife, but I've slowly replaced all of her shit ones, so that's pretty tapped out.

I did get her the Opinel gardening set:



Honestly, its hard to go wrong with a gift card from a store she'd like too.  I.E. something related to her hobbies, not Wal-Mart.  

Cooking related stuff can go either way depending on the person.

He's looking for gift ideas not his replacement.

Besides Hitachi no longer makes the magic wands. They are called "The Original Magic Wand" now.
