    Right guys. It's exactly 2 weeks till Christmas and I think the majority of us here still haven't got a clue. One of these threads usually pops up every year about now, so I thought I'd get things rolling, as I don't have much hair left.

    So, the point of this thread is to form a small collection of links to gifts or gift sites which sell interesting things that girls would actually be interested in. I find "gift" sights really boring and mundane, and anyway, that way we're all helping each other out and we keep our spouses happy.

    So, has anyone got any good ideas?

    I got my girlfriend a star from http://www.starlistings.co.uk/ (£25)
    I know it sounds really stupid and I can't believe i've done it but she's always told me she'd like one so meh

    On the look out for more stuff tho so get posting!

    You don't know how hard these things were to get lol! They'd have them in stock for literally a few hours, and then gone...all the other places were out too! I was lucky to get my foot in on time, took them 4 days to actually process the order, glad it's sorted now though!

    Dont you people think it would be a better idea to get to know your wife / girlfriend enough to actually know what to get them? instead of asking people on here....

    I think it's more a matter of finding something original to buy. I've got my girlfriend something else that I know she'll like, but the other present is something cool that guys might not have seen, just like the other suggestions on here. We're just helping each other out ;)
