There’s no gift that could ever equal my love for you." Ask one of your children to read it out loud to you several times so you won’t burst out laughing when your wife reads it aloud at Christmas.

Here is my formula*:

1) take note of what she has more of: necklaces, rings** or earrings - you are going to buy her more of what ever she has the most of ( it's probably what she likes more )

2) get one of her magazines ( recent edition ), find all the advertisements for new perfumes, and cross check to make sure it's one that she doesn't have. try not to get one that is made by / named after a particular celebrity, as she may hate that celeb.***

3) take your credit card out ( not cash - it will hurt too much handing it over for smelly water and a shiny stone ), and buy the perfume you found.
then find the jewelry item from step 1, making sure that the stone matches her eye colour, and that the price makes your eyes water****. buy it.

4) make sure that the store assistants do not fob you off with the standard packaging. insist upon the classiest jewellery box and most fancy wrapping.

5) on or close to the day, get some fresh flowers from a proper florist ( you can tell these apart by the way that they do not also sell petrol )

that's it, you're done.
( while you're out, buy 5 anniversary cards and 5 birthday cards. stash them somewhere. )

* if she doesn't like perfume, jewellery and flowers, then i can't help you.

** if rings, try to "borrow" one that she wears often - you'll need it to get the right size

*** for extra points, try to overhear her conversations with friends about which perfumes / celebs she does like

**** yes, the price must physically cause you pain. it doesn't matter if you're a millionaire or on welfare, it must be up to your personal limit

And if your "wives" don't like the gifts, then
you'll have someone else to blame!

LOL.. I actually bought my mom and girlfriend their names in the .com - for b-day gifts (which are both within a month from now). As for the rest of their gifts, and X-mas - I am clueless
