With the Christmas season fast approaching, analysts are estimating that, for the first time in history, more gifts will be sold online than at brick and mortar stores over the holidays.

It’s at this very point, when mention of Christmas shopping starts, that husbands everywhere start to feel a little bit of panic. Don’t worry, you’ve still got 57 days until Christmas morning. Plenty of time to prepare. To spur your thinking and get your creative juices flowing, here are some ideas for some of the most popular ideas for gifts:

Jewelry. While women like shiny things, you don’t have to go really expensive. If you’re like most men, you’re hoping to find something that won’t break the bank. Next month we will showcase some of the best inexpensive handmade jewelry that your wife could ever hope to receive. She’ll be over the moon with gratitude.

Services. Spa treatments, massages, facials, self-spa kits, acupuncture, or get a maid to clean the house…for a month! It’s the gift that keeps on giving, as each time she gets a little special treatment she thinks of you.

Experiences. Glass blowing classes, a museum membership, season tickets to the theatre, pottery classes – any of these things will be a big hit with the one you love!

Things. Don’t just give a thing. Put some thought into your wife. What does she keep wishing she had? For example, my wife keeps wishing that she had a Kitchen Aid Mixer. She hasn’t gotten one yet because they’re $400, but it’s something that would mean a lot to her.

Time. The thing that makes vacations special for your wife and kids is not so much what you do, but the time you get to spend together as a family. Most of us can look back and remember some time spent with family that wasn’t doing any special thing, but that still carries a lot of positive emotional impact. Take your family on a trip for Christmas, or just give them the gift of you being there for them. Don’t forget that grandparents want to see your kids as well, and you can make Christmas extra special just by having all three generations together.

Look for upcoming guides to each of these categories – how to provide each of these things at Holiday time.

What about you? What gifts have you given your wife or kids that was really special? Ladies, what gifts have you received that have been really special?

  2. VegasDad Says:

    We have a strict “no gifts” edict this year. I know it’s not good for the economy, but with a new baby due during the holiday season and the wife not working, our budget is blown all out of whack. We’ll make up for it next year.

  3. VegasDad Says:

    I should add that my wife did really like her $400 Fendi sunglasses last year.

  4. orlund Says:

    Thanks for the reminder, I like to start early because then you can look for deals and also have better selection.

  5. soapbox mom Says:

    You’ve hit the nail on the head, gentlemen. These are all terrific ideas. I’m happy to say that I’ve been the recipient of many of them and whole heartedly agree with the recommendations. Great job!!
