bring her up to the exchange for a few scoops and then bring her upstairs to the hairy pig for a slap up meal, and stick two lotto tickets in a christmas card

nice idea billy the pig but looking for something that she can actually have just for herself

Pandora bracelet? A decent ghd (hair straightener). A flyling lesson (about 100e a throw though).Find out what make up she likes..good selection in debenhams

Get her a hair voucher for somewhere like Hype. Or a spa treatment.

As a woman, I recommend the above i.e hair, spa treatment, her beauticians, clothes vouchers or shoes voucher:D

Can't go wrong with Jewellery! Fields is an Irish company. Or a voucher for a boutique, they can really struggle

Get her a nice new ironing board and yourself a passport!!!!!:D

thanks for the replies and idea,s so far folks keep em coming so i can build up a good idea in me head, am liking the idea bout pandora and spa, she has a hair straightener but don,t know if it ghd ????

deisemum

Has she any hobbies or interests?

YumDeiseMum

Pandora is a real good idea if she likes jewellery.
My other half bought me one a couple of years back and I have it full now between himself and my daughter buying charms for birthdays, christmas, mothers day etc since then.

Voucher for fish spa . gift voucher from you to her for you know what to the value of your choice . babliss big hair - its like a hair dryer and brush. combined new shoes- but if your sense of style is bad-don't . bicycle helmet. paint a room for her . wash the windows . power hose the footpaths .maybe a top up on gift voucher mentioned

thomasm

Take her away for a night over Christmas, someplace nice, good food, log fires. Love Lyrath Estate for this kinda treat and good deals generally available on website. She will be delighted

Keea

Make-up if she's into that. Some nice eyeshadows, mascara, lippy etc. Ladies in Sam McCauley's or Mulligans should be able to sort you out if you want to shop local.

Try the sex shop on O Connell St plenty of things in there that she can use just for herself.if that fails try Kervicks fruit and veg shop😜

Pandoras are great cause it takes the pressure of ever having to think what to get her again. If you get stuck just buy a few charms....it gets filled up , buy the necklace.

Support Waterford jewellers !!!

Max Powers

Voucher for debenhams or one of those beauty salons or hairdressers around Waterford, my missus loves the bay spa out in tramore, hype hairdressers, salon 16 (beside gingerman).

If you're going to go down the pandora route, you can't go wrong with John Martins in Georges Court, in my experience the staff there are lovely and I have often gotten a few euro off if you're buying more than 1 charm

comeraghs

agree about John Martin jewelers! very fair people!

longshanks

I offer a discreet service. For €50 she gets half an hour, €100 gets an hour and €200 gets the whole night.
Book early to avoid disappointment.

notfromhere

seen on the ghd website 50% off 2 day know u said about buying in waterford bt money is money

I suppose it depends what age bracket your in?

I mean if your in your 40's with kids your not going to be getting her two tickets to IBIZA for DJ spinsalot, chomping down the disco biscuits! ha

Or if your young enough, you dont want to get her a subsrciption to How to crochet.

You have to give us more hints about yous, married? young? Kids?

I got my mother a coal bucket and small shovel one year for chrismas, legend i am! ha

worst one I ever heard of was a fella buying the missus a power drill for their wedding anniversary.Obviously she wasn't happy so he bought her an ironing board to make up for it!
