Originally set a £20 limit for xmas this year, you know, novelty presents type stuff. She has since bought me a nice bottle of whisky and a bike tool kit. Uh-oh, guilt followed by panic buying ensues and I've got her a nordic pattern maternity onesie (she's getting a cardigam picked out by herself). (yes she is up the duff) I've flipped up haven't I? Silent Xmas dinner?
My dad once purchased my mum a lamp shade for Christmas.
I think by comparison, a maternal onesie would've gone down better.
you have 4 days to panic buy something more appropriate
i would.
get one each and you can do something like this;
Silent Xmas dinner? Don't be silly...
You think she will let you have dinner?! 🙄
When I was about 12 or 13 and having spunked all my paper round money at the school tuck shop my family got this for a joint present
This year I bought my wife this as she keeps going on about going to the Glasgow velodrome for a shot so I imagine I'll be in the shit too
I've got nowt for Mrs Daz so far. She keeps telling me she doesn't want anything but I'm beginning to think this may be a bit of reverse psychology that could go disastrously wrong 😯
Daz tell a close friend to call the police if they haven't heard from you by boxing day.
Clarins eh? hmmmmmm.
Think i've sussed it - onesie is a present from little S mk1 - to 'keep mummy all snuggly' until mk2 arrives. This projects schmoltz on the item thus reducing its likelihood of rejection I now have 4 days, as pointed out above, to get something decent.
Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,Not Clarins,
Daz - she's lying.
A couple of years ago Mr Mule Senior gave Mrs Mule Senior a toilet seat and a blot for the bathroom door for Christmas.
Fortunately she has a good sense of humour and laughed about it for about two hours. Although, to be fair, he had also bought her a very large emerald pendant necklace - which I sould imagine softened the blow slightly.
I suspect the onesie coupled with a hot water bottle would be a damn fine set of prezzies for a Lady With Bump.
Don't forget the Chocolates.. 😉
I bought my wife an electric blanket a couple of Christmas's ago - she ruddy loved it! Positively skipped around the room.*
(*we lead a very dull life!)
We aren't buying for each other this year. Apparently.
I have got her a couple of small presents. Was about to enter the shop to buy some nice jewellery for her yesterday when for the umpteenth time this year I got an urgent text to see if I could drop everything to pick the kids up from school as she was busy at work
The words "Well, sod you then" may have escaped my lips as I left the shop empty handed 👿
I have bought Mr Mule a kettle 🙂
Told my other half to get herself a Terrys Choc orange while out grocery shopping tonight, a onesie sound waaaaay too extravagant.
I've dropped enormous hints for a Chocolate Orange. Christmas would not be right without one present.
Your wife is very lucky 😆
Apparently we were not buying for each other (joint trip to Bruges instead), but on a child free day out she spotted some earrings that 'I could buy her for Christmas'.
She expertly diverted me away from Richer Sounds shortly after.
I'm planning on getting Mrs DBW a onesie. Albeit a little more 'minimalist' than yours OP.

Pics?
What? WHAT? Someone was going to ask, so why not me?
Bought my wife an electric blanket for her 40th as a joke and she now says it is one of the best things she has! If I am honest, I agree with her. Nothing quite like getting in to a toastie bed!
She has since bought me a nice bottle of whisky and a bike tool kit
In other words, a nice bottle of whisky and some ornaments.

Yup, what could [i]possibly[/i] go wrong?
