Anyone any thoughts/suggestions on a prezzie for my dearly beloved (who has practically EVERYTHING!)Perhaps something a little different,that she won't be expecting.... Thanks All!
 
I'm just back from Monart Spa in Wexford. Fantastic. They offer vouchers for weekend breaks which I'm sure your missus would love. Also for something special visit the Tiffany.com website. They have some affordable items and I dont know any woman who wouldnt like to get something in their trademark box & ribbon. (I'd recommend the silver beads and matching bracelet which is a favourite and will go with most outfits) They also deliver to Ireland. No need for mistletoe in your house on Christmas morning!
 
I bought my wife's birthday present on [broken link removed]. It's an irish site with free delivery and free gift wrapping in a nice box with ribbons and the works. She was very impressed that I didn't ask her what she wanted but got her something she liked and that doesn't happen very often!!

On this site, if you don't know what to buy, you can use their online tool which helps you pick something based on her age, the occasion, etc. They have the usual suspects of handbags and jewellery but they also have gift vouchers for beauty treatments and makeovers if your wife likes that kind of thing too.

Anyway check it out - it worked for me and I will definitely be getting her christmas pressie from them this year too.
 
book a weekend in Rome for January, I just did for my other half :) cause then you get a pressie too

You may well think that she has practically everything but I can assure you sir she doesn't ! :D

Just because she may have one handbag or one pair of shoes does not preclude her from NEEDING at least 20 more of each!

Handbags are a good bet, depending on budget, or clothes if you are man enough to go shopping for your missus ;)

The Tiffany suggestion was a good one - I might try that myself this year

Just thought of another one - how about a day with a personal shopper and the dosh to go with it?

Try [broken link removed] for something a bit different.

I'm considering the day's falconry for my other half, I think he'd love it!
 
Just looked at the Tiffany website. Its says they only ship to the US, Canada, Japan.....not Ireland. Is there a link to some part of the site that I can't see where they ship internationally ? Have you used them before needyk?

well I just had a look and put in my own details (I would leave a print out lying around for himself if it worked) and according to my details my OH should get me a pair of pyjamas for €65 and/or a box of chocolates - Trust me - this is not what I would want for XMAS and €65 for pyjamas - COME ON :eek:
 
re brownie points, have to agree with you i did it for myself too jsu to see and was pj's and chocolates then i did it for my 60 year old mother same pressies not that these pressies ar suitable for either, if i got either think would be a cold cold christmas
 
Yeah I wasn't that impressed with the Brownie site either. If he's going to get me a bag I'd at least want a nice one and it suggested earrings and chocolate for every female I know!
 
had a look at the site too. Can't say I would wear a necklace with a bra and knickers thingy hanging off it. Don't think I'll be shopping there for xmas etc
 
How do you get the prices to display on the Tiffanys website? looks great... take note any guys out there! browniepoints didn't look too hot to me either!
 
If you have difficulty shopping online at Tiffany's, ring them. They'll process it over the phone. Prices are all in sterling but you can pick up something reasonably priced to include delivery. Try the graduated bead necklace @ £135 in sterling silver and if budget will allow get the matching bracelet. If you really want to go nuts go for the matching earrings too. Otherwise have fun browsing. There's plenty there. Good luck.
 
Newbridge jewellery is lovely and you can get sets of earrings, bracelet and necklaces. The ones with the stones set are the nicest. Provided she likes silver of course !
 
If she likes jewellery theres an irish designer called alan ardiff who does different stuff, jewellery with moving parts, swinging flowers and moving birds. Kilkenny design stock some of his stuff.
Or you could buy her an acre of bog from the irish peat conservation council, she probably wouldn't expect it.
You could adopt her an animal from the zoo and then take her to visit it.
 
If she is into cookery, I would recommend a voucher for a course at the www.dublincookeryschool.ie . Alternatively as a gift to her, you could go on a course there yourself and surprise her with some culinary delights! I did a five week course there and totally loved it. Great experience and great fun!
