    Wtf has everyone bought for their partner and mothers. Lucky for me the missus said "I don't want anything" so that is what I will get her. The mother is a little tricky as she is in NZ but I'm usually lazy and just get her flowers.

    Anyone actually go to any effort this year?

    You must have either been married less than 2yrs or more than 50yrs!

    Partner and I have always given each other a $ limit. You get from Christmas to New Year's to spend it on anything you want. She can't whinge about what I spend it on and I continue to give zero fu$ks about what she buys.

    So you do know better and are just making a Dad joke.

    At the least fragrance or ear rings.

    My plan for the wife's gift is now fucked.

    Was getting her earphones for running. But it turns out good ones that will work with only one in (because she wants to hear people sneaking up on her or some shit) don't exist

    So I'm at square one.

    Buy bone conduction headphones. They are awesome as you can hear outside noise just as she wishes to. I tried some on holiday in Japan and bought some on ali express. But you will be pushed for time, you should be able to get some locally

    I suspect it could be easier to add that advice to your signature in the lead up to Christmas 🙂

    we quickly got past the 'spend shitloads to show the world how much i care and buy you a farking iphone or tattoo or some chav shit like that but look how much i put on the credit card darling it's all worth it you're worth we deserve this fark it it's on the never never like the essential oils you're selling to your mates'

    ahem

    anyway, one big decent thing as a combined christmas present. This year was a monster coffee machine, well well worth it; using it already and makes a real positive difference to our world. Plenty of stuff you can splash out on combined, that make both your lives better.

    I always figured perfume and makeup kind of said you smell and you're ugly 😃

    A job best left for him so I'm happy to have him sort all that out for me.
    Passed the perfume, jewellery phase, and I'm really not materialistic at Christmas, I prefer to live in luxury as consistently as possible

    My 6 year old boy wrote to Santa asking for the Pennywise the Dancing Clown toy. Twisted little bastard, a @Snowy in the making.
