Last year I got my wife a very comfy set of flannel pyjamas... She loves them... really.
She is always cold at night and complained about it. It was a practical gift but she loved it for exactly the reason Mal pointed out... it was well thoght out.
There have been other times where I spent more money and effort... I bought her a pink Vespa that she was absolutely in love with... the store told her it was sold and she was bummed. It came back on the market and I snapped it up. I hid it in her mother's garage until Christmas... When she saw it... she absolutely flipped.
This year we aren't exchanging gifts because I just paid her tuition for Teacher's College but I was thinking of giving her a day at the spa because she has been working so hard.
