    Boxing Gloves!

    Pictuer this. It's christmas morning, she sees a big box. She opens it and what does she find, boxing gloves. She laughs for you, pretending to be happy when really she's disappointed. THen you get her to try them on. And when she sticks her hand in the right golve she feels something. Pulling it out, it's a Jewelery box with a nice (Insert Jewelery here).

    Sometimes the relief of getting something normal after getting something Hideous makes up for a really generic gift like Earings

    well, maybe a gift card, and that way she's spending that money on what SHE wants, and no need to get too creative on her... Maybe a gift card to a spa...?

    Take hints/clues from her. Most women will drop hints here or there about ideas, even if you men don't catch them! lol Usually a hint would start with "I gotta get..." or "I wish I had..." or "I was so jealous of Jane's....!"

    Another idea, try to think hard of something she may have been into as a kid. Did she have a favorite something that would be possible to find? It could be something like a favorite toy, movie, or game that she was into. Maybe she had a Care Bear as a little girl that meant the world to her. Example, my sis pretty much has everything, and can get herself what she doesn't have. I got her her fav movie (which is now on dvd) for xmas. The nostalgia of it should make it special to her. Ask your mom-in-law for ideas or hints, if you still can't come up with anything.

    Good luck, and have a great christmas and an even better New Years!!!!

    Every woman loves to be pampered. I say a gift certificate to the best spa in town for a day of pampering. Or, if your budget allows, a weekend at a spa for either the two of you or for her and a friend. I, too, buy myself everything I need when I need it and my husband just called me to see what I want for Christmas. I wish someone would suggest this!! He has gotten me spa trips before, so I know he is capable, and I know how great they are.

    Get her a gift certificate with a good massage therapist.

    With the right choice, she will not only need, but want it as well.

    I'm serious, NOT being suggestive. I go to a gal monthly who works wonders for my aching bod. The ONLY day each month where I'm literally pain free!

    If you wanted to melt her heart, write down things you love about her or your favorite memories of her on pretty slips of colored paper and then place them attractively in a clear jar and tie a pretty ribbon around the top. She will be delighted to read your thoughts and would probably appreciate that more than anything you bought at the store or online.

    Make a donation in her name to a charity or organization that is important to her. God knows, if she has all the crap she needs, why does she need more? Donate that money to be used by folks who need it more than she does. You can even present this as a "gift" to her. Write out that you made a donation in her name in nice script on a nice card, put it in an envelope or small box, and wrap it up as a gift. Somebody did this for me once as a gift, and I was touched.

    Donate some money to a charity or sponsor a child / village / dog / cat etc or do a room makeover and treat her to some special time in it together or take her on a special trip which means something to you both.

    What has she been wanting lately? Gold, diamonds, silver, a day at the spa, makeover, etc.? If she has everything why not propose to her again in a romantic place that way you can rekindle your romance.

    Spend time with her. Since she can spend all year long, you could probably afford a nice weekend getaway.
