This thread  has more tips for - never ever, not in a million years , should you ever buy a women you love, as a gift  for christmas.
God only knows  the torment those Tyrone women have to endure on Christmas morn.

A piece of carat gold jewelry never goes amiss, I've never heard a woman say  'what did you buy that for''? or  'no thanks,  i've already got a ring/necklace/ whatever'.
And should it not be quite be the appropriate fit/style, there's nothing quite like  exchanging it for something else at the jewelry store.
None of that embarrassment/low self esteem factor that certain Nordie women might have to endure when they go to return the gift that they received from their partner,  e.g. Mugsy's book wrapped in a brown paper bag, i.e. if it hasn't already hit the fireplace.
But maybe one women's Dyson is another's diamond.

Folk still buy gold?
The chavs do.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

I don't know about the hair straightening iron though, I found  3 of them in the bathroom cabinets and I can't do better than the best one. There's a shed load of beauty care electronic products in there, it looks like my daughter has sussed out what's what, over the years, every possible beauty care event has been taken care of. And then I could do with a new classy cordless drill, light to hold, with plenty of torque and 2 immortal batteries, but not in a million years would I entrust my wife to find one for me.

Nothing for the kitchen.

A new axe for  the firewood in the yard would be the very thing, though.

I do feel sorry for her when I'm looking out the window and she trying to chop the wood with that old blunt yoke.

Was supposed to be taking better half to Marrakesh for Xmas. Spent 5 hours in Aldergrove airport yesterday, trying to get to Gatwick. Gave up - Christmas @ home & no presents for her now!!!

The size of the chopper is important to a woman too.

Not true. It's the striking action.
