'Something for the wife' is less of a present and more of an annual diplomatic crisis.

the in gadget for women this Christmas is the loreal steam pod
its a steam version of the GHD yokey
better and less damaging for hair and can leave it in a few different ways - frizz free
I believe these are now hard to get
about 180 euros

Don't know if it works for the north but the loreal website has a store locator that stocks their products
From there you should just phone them to see if they have this thing
I don't know much about them other than they were reviewed on tv3 one morning and raved about
Also as I was buying one, a hairdresser that does the wife's hair spotted me and told me these things were superb and the missus would love it.
Think this might be a good gift - but you never know with women!

It's on before I leave for work MS!
Also on their website iplayer
Actually I have another tip
That rubbish expose programme on tv3 in the evenings ( and website ) has top buys in various items in cosmetics and beauty world
If I see it I write down the top one or two in whatever category they are showcasing and I have a list of stuff to buy the missus for Christmas or her birthday etc
Mad stuff like face cleansers, exfoliators, glycolic lotions and all sorts of stuff I don't know or care what it is for.
It's seemingly a good formula as all the stuff has been a hit with the missus !

I'm not well up on what women do to their hair to be honest.
I'd be killed if I came home with a hair straightener though, it's about as imaginative as buying her an iron! Imo of course. :)
No way. I remember GHDs were all the rage there a few years ago. This sounds like the next big thing for them. Stay away from presents related to household chores is the golden rule I think. No cooking utensils, hoovers, or irons (gulp).
A lad I know bought his wife a wheelbarrow for Christmas because she liked gardening. Not good.
Luckily my missus doesn't need much work so I don't have to buy all this crap.

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.

What do you get her for her birthday an Iron. Bet she loves you, a household appliance for Christmas, who says romance is dead. Hopefully she fucks it and your Christmas dinner in the bin.
BBC
Domestic appliances are just a big no no.
My missus is getting a weekend away with a friend of her choice with spa etc thrown in.
I've made the reservation for February:
Valentines covered
It's my sons birthday so she'll obviously take us along
hey presto
€150.00
A book £8
A candle £3
A nail polish £4
She only spent a tenner on me.

The chavs do.
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.
