I'm sat on the sofa, lost for ideas.  My wife has asked me - and wants an answer!

She says the budget is "not flash bike levels" and, obviously, I like bikes.  Hope that helps...

Wife says she likes bukobuko's response (and I like electric skateboard, but we live on a sharp hill!).

I was thinking of a tweed deerstalker hat, like my granddad used to wear - but I don't even need to ask to know that's been overruled.

Let's get this right, you are on the sofa, your Mrs is on the sofa and she's asking if you'd like a present.....and you are on this forum.

Shouldn't you be somewhere else, fulfilling the present options....

I think she wants or is hinting to you to give her one tonight ... boom boom!  😀

He is thinking of gadget instead of boom boom ... 😀

This is what I told the wife.

https://www.alpkit.com/products/tippla

However it’s sold out so either she’s got it already or I’ve got to find another item to be given for Christmas that I neither want nor need. Apparently ‘nothing’ is not an option.

That’s just for the ‘riding’ phase, to be preceded by the ‘pre-ride’ whisky and the ‘post-ride’ whisky....so yeah, three 👍🏻

Dreading this question. I honestly don’t want for anything except that M&S red cabbage with apple again. Delicious.

Pants & socks for me from the wife. I know I could buy them myself but I can’t be arsed. I spend my money on fun stuff instead. Problem is that means there’s not much I want that I haven’t already bought or is too much for her to spend at Christmas and I have lots of holey socks & saggy boxers that I never do anything about so she buys new ones.

Its a kinda ‘circle of life’ type thing...

You clearly don't want or need anything. So don't bother.

we don't buy anything for each other. Not even a token thing to open.

we have four generations round for the Chrisrmas "weekend" so there are lots of presents, but no one notices that we haven't bought each other anything, and it already costs a fortune catering for that lot!
