    Jewelry has always gotten me lucky. But it can get expensive quick. Normally, we take a family trip during Christmas and that’s the present to all of us. Last year was India and this was going to be the Bahamas. Scheduling conflicts got in the way so it was back to jewelry.

    We don't exchange gifts, so no work for either. Buy what we want when we want it.

    You can't go wrong treating a woman to a spa day.

    Gift certificates to the local spa. Always a favorite.

    That is what I did this year as well as I signed her up for monthly massages at same place plus tickets to see Shen Yun perform. Money well spent. She's had a tough year and I wanted to do a little extra for her to let her relax a bit more.

    She gets her present from me anytime she wants! Presents are for the kids and family. I’m a lucky man, she doesn’t need to get me anything, but she will. I told her BPS gift cards are always the perfect gift if anyone asks!

    Same here...no reason to go thru the motions because some time period on a calendar says to. We get things when we want them.
