I don't know what she would like, but I know what she might not want as a present:

Sorry I can't help, I don't even know what *I* want.

Santa Baby
written by J. Javits and P. Springer
originally sung by Ertha Kitt
Time: 2:30 ----------
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight

How about a day at the spa? Everyone loves being pampered for a day.

Re: need ideas, just 5 days left and....

Set her up with a day at a spa for a massage/ facial/pedicure/manicure. Or get her some sexy lingerie: camisole/panty set.

Or do you have kids get them to get her wish list and go from there. If not how about a sister or other family member who can get a wish list from her. Then you can decide what it is she wants.

Does she have a favourite movie? author? does she write a journal? You can get her that movie, a book, a new journal.

Think of the things she likes to do and decide how you can make it better/easier for her to do. Then get something to help her with it.

Hope this helps.

my wife likes to work.....she asked me for a new iron LOL. everyone thank you for some wonderful suggestions.

Re: need ideas, just 5 days left and....

Instead of restaurants get her a few gift certificates to her favorite stores. The she can get stuff that is just for her~~maybe things she wouldn't normally buy for herself. If you bought her an iron I'm driving down to NJ & bonk you on the head with it!!

Re: need ideas, just 5 days left and....

i did not buy her an iron, but thats what she asked for. thats kinda funny, i mean last valentines day i did buy her a new vacuum that she said she liked LOL

Re: need ideas, just 5 days left and....

Get her a steam generator iron. They are brilliant - more expensive than the regular ones but she will thank you for it - it will cut her ironing time by half. Then, buy her some bubble bath and perfume and a voucher for a massage/facial or similar. I have the Tefal steam generator and it's brilliant!

Re: need ideas, just 5 days left and....

Seeing as I'm the type who likes my gifts to be more personal, I would prefer perfume or a gift card to my favorite store. An iron is something you can get her any ol' day (which is a good "just because" present since she requested it). If she has a hobby, you could get her gift cards to her favorite hobby store. You could also give her a self-made gift certificate redeemable for something that she would really like to see done around the house... like maybe her own garden, new paint or restorations around the house, etc.

Hope that helps!

Re: need ideas, just 5 days left and....

I like time with my hubby. Homemade gift cards for a walk through the park together, or a "wishing" shopping trip to the home improvement store. Bubble baths, foot rubs, back rubs. Brushing her hair. A special movie night. Night out, bowling, skating, bike rides or something from younger years.
Really to me the best things are things we do together.

Good luck! I hope you have a Wonderful Christmas!

A jewelry as a gift & a treat at a restaurant and going to a movie will be a great idea...
