HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I am trying to come up with idea's for my 'has everything' husband....so I was wondering if there might be common threads of things that people would like. What is the BIG thing you would love for Christmas if budget was no object? What is a more realistic gift wish for Christmas? What would you NOT like to receive? Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 A lovely full carbon road bicycle with the dropped handle bars. I saw one in my local shop for 1,000,000 yen, a tad expensive, but if money was no object..... And a very powerful motorbike More realistically though a new set of skis or a much more sensibly priced bicycle or some power tools, to add to my collection. A bunch of gift vouchers for my favourite shop. Clothes from my relatives.........a big big no no or any of the above without first consulting me....I am very choosey about style, colour, functionability, power, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 All these muscle vehicles and private resorts! Gotta love it! Sounds like clothes, sox and jocks are very much the unloved items commonly found in Christmas Stockings! I think I will get my hubby a Suunto Core (all black) watch.... I wanted the Observer ST for him, but they have discontinued it apparently and while they have one in stock in the online store they don't have one in Perth and I do not want to risk Australia Post at this late in the game!!! So looks like it will be a Core. Link to post Share on other sites

A new (as opposed to secondhand, like the current one) rideon mower. 3. I'm with everyone else. Sox/jox/clothing in particular are personal choice and I rather prefer my taste to anyone else's (with exception of +1, of course! She has EXCELLENT taste! ) Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 OK.. spilling the beans. If price was no object I highly desire an all inclusive Japan Snow trip. It was Papa who pushed for Zermatt this year, and while I am excited about that my very very favouritist gift to open would be a trip to just about anywhere in Japan - even just for a few days. I would take it for my birthday in early March. The chances of that appearing under the tree are very slim and I might need smelling salts if it did. A more realistic and likely gift is an iPod. I have bought at least one for each of my immediate family members over the years - starting with an old iPod Classic for DS16's 10th birthday, right through to the Bose iPod speakers I bought Papa for fathers day. Yet no-one has yet seen fit to bring me into the 21st Century yet! A little birdie told me that is likely tio change this year, and I am so excited about that! I would not like to get a food gift basket. For starters we are going away on Boxing Day and would not use it, but I got one from SIL last year that had expired food in it, and she apparently knew it was expired. I just don't get that... My bin is full enough at Christmas time without having a massive hamper of expired foods that I would not eat even if they were in code adding to the bin!! Fancy Tea's and chocolates etc with a long shelf life will be welcomed however. Link to post Share on other sites
