Alright, it's that time of year again. Due to a variety of social conventions and religious expections that I would rather leave for another thread, most of us have to buy Xmas gifts for our wives/girlfriends, husbands/boyfriends..etc etc.

As usual I am completly dumbfounded by the process. Every year my GF gets me something fantastic, often an item I didn't even know that I wanted, but I love just the same. And every year I get her a hunk of crap, sure she says "I love it," but the fact is that the necklace/earrings set I got her in 2001 has been in her jewlery box for 2 solid years. I want to make her happy and get her something she really loves, but I am super-bad at coming up with ideas. My problem is that she is the type that just buys what she wants when she wants it, so even tho I am willing to spend $200-$300, I don't have the slightest idea where or how to spend it.

So the reason for this thread, rather than just ask the ladies of the TFP to give me ideas, I would like to see everyone contribute so we can all benefit.

Tell me (us) what you want to get, or have gotten that really blew your socks off.
