X-Mas Gift Ideas: I'm a Guy in trouble...PLEASE HELP

I am your typical guy in a lot of ways... one if them being is I have NO IDEA how to choose a gift for my baby on Christmas... Last year I thought I was being clever getting her a portable DVD player to take on her trip (22 hour flight)... It was a total flop. PLEASE ladies, give me some help here. I need your insight into the female mind... She wont tell me what she wants... never seems to want anything... its so frustrating.

Ya gotta tell us about the girl. Is she a girly girl? Hobbies? Interests? Give us more than you're a typical guy.0

Well, I probably wouldn't be any help because I thought the portable DVD player for a 22 hour flight was very thoughtful.0

They have all sorts of price ranges.
Or what kind of hobbies does she have? Honestly sometimes women prefer pretty to practical0 -
Some woman don't really want gifts. I sort of gave up, and then I discovered that the big hit was services that she could enjoy like nails, hair and that sort of thing. And for God's sake man, don't buy her clothes unless instructed!0

New Toaster? Vacuum cleaner? :laugh:0

Jewelry is always nice It's tricky though because most men have no idea what looks nice, so it might not be a bad idea to take her there and let her pick something out! Or get her something for one of her hobbies. Or a gift card to a place where she likes to shop!0

On a more serious note, how about a gift certificate to a day spa...massage...something like that?0

Tiffanys for sure0

Spa days are always appreciated here. I usually don't spend money on myself so a day of massage, pedi/mani and facial is a big hit.0

If electronics was not a hit I would go with jewelry or a spa day. Sounds like she's more girly? Was she maybe expecting a certain ring last year? Like the others have said, you need to go with what she likes i.e. jewelry, salon stuff, expensive purses (I like Coach) etc.0

What are some of her interests? There isn't really a template gift that all women would love. We're individual people with individual likes and interests. For example, most women would love something in diamonds, but I wouldn't. I find them boring and cliche.0 -

This!!! I love massages, manicure, pedicure, coupons for day off of cooking (and not this doesn't mean you just go out to eat or bring home fast food). Is she into fitness, Itunes gift cards for new music?0 -
For me, memories trump a wrapped gift. Albeit there are time when both are appropriate and Christmas may be one of them.
I enjoy a weekend away, a scavenger hunt with small gifts found with each clue leading to my favorite restaurant, a trip to a city I've never been, etc.
Then I take one or two of the photos taken and frame it and can always look back with a smile on my face. (Providing the experience was a good one. )0 -
