You all have kids and everyone knows that the one thing parents really want is time without them. So why not buy them a spa day/weekend gift thing with the promise to take the kids off their hands for the day/weekend?

Mrs Growler would be happy with a certificate promising her x amount of days of peace and quiet with Growler behaving himself.

I'd have to vacate the premises for that to take effect. ::)

Oh shit!
Mrs Growler was standing behind me reading all this thread without my knowledge.

She says she not speaking to me now.

Follow Mrs Nick round duty free and see what she ohhs and ahhs at. That should be easy enough.

That is the first sensible thing you have said in months!

See it is impossible which is why the gift would be so greatly appreciated. I often think the best gifts are not about the money spent but the thought behind it which is why "experience/red letter day" gifts are so popular. Think along those lines but something for home and you are on to a winner. For instance, this year Mr Wench is getting 20 cup of tea in bed vouchers.

Well perhaps a massage or something not involving intense amounts of pain.

SWMBO is receiving three cardigans (as she has indicated she is "short of them") An ornament (tradition as she collects a certain "brand" ~ Wenchy may PM for details), a new 5 year diary as she has maintained a diary for the past 15 years, writes in it everynight, the current one is about to run out and a bottle of Chanel No5. She may also get another handbag. NEVER shoes ~ I buy those all year round for her on the principle her predecessor instilled in me "If you don't shoe the horse you can't ride it".

Did that last year for her birthday. Don't think she was overly impressed tbh. ::)

What's wrong with operating and driving a fire engine ffs?
I thought it was absolutely fantastic, and so did Growlers jnr.

Poor Mrs Growler.  noooo:

What does she do for fun? Does she have a hobby? When she has free time what does she choose to do with it?
