If you work away from home and have not seen your ladieee yet, or have had to get out of a frosty situation by saying theres a surprise stuck in the post, here are some last minute present ideas that will impress any woman.
Grooming
Women dont like to admit it, but they all have some upper lip fuzz. Outside St Helens and Albania that it considered a little unfeminine, so why not get her the BABYLISS E702YTE Hair Trimmer + Lubricant for clipper
Quote:The Babyliss E702YTE hair trimmer is an easy-to-use solution for keeping your hair and beard looking neat, tidy and trimmed. The E702YTE has self-lubricating blades for increased performance and optimum results. You can also easily set the cutting length using its built-in adjustment dial. The E702YTE hair trimmer will bring a professional touch to your daily shave.
For the more personal touch, why not give the gift that gives back, a Brazillian trimming kit. She will be ecstatic that despite all the booze, dumplings and family rows, you still have friendly feelings towards her:
Quote:Get a pain free Brazilian with the Smoothshave
For those ladies that are looking to trim their lady garden without having to resort to fiddly waxing or the horror that is electrolysis the Smoothshave will seem a godsend. It works along the lines of an electric shaver, but with a few subtle but all important differences. The pack comprises of two shavers; the 'intimate shaver' for trimming away those loose ends, and the Smoothshave, a ultra fine screen rotary head personal shaver. This shaver removes stubble and leaves you with silky soft skin that is as smooth as a baby's bottom. In reality there is still a little fiddling to do with talcum powder and brushes, but you still can't fault it for convenience
She may be a bit podgy after days of stuffing, so why not show that you care by getting her a fitness video. Ministry of Sound: Pump It Up! Ultimate Dance Workout features Eric Prydzs “Pump It Up” so you can both enjoy it.
Or a fitness book can show you care
If you have been hit by flu or had “seasonal” illness (over drinking and over eating), why not show your appreciation by buying her a special nurses uniform so she can be properly kitted out next time.*
Does your woman like shoes? Course she does. Why not buy her a pair of sandals – practical and attractive.
Heres Sienna Miller modelling some heels - why not boost her confidence by telling her she could look like that if she tried
Or this (perhaps too ambitious, but you never know)
How about a calendar for that little extra stocking filler? Why not get one that reflects her hobbies, for example surfing
Depending on your relationship she might like this calendar, but be warned it is "medically" themed and shows everything Pin-Up Calendar by EIZO Medical Imaging
Follow this advice and you will have loads of time to yourself to enjoy these presents.
(* when I say "special nurses uniform" I dont mean a special needs nurse. Or a nurse who has special needs. That would just be weird. I mean a uniform for a nurse who is special to you. Wow, this political correctness if getting out of hand).

you could buy her a rolling pin instead..... oops.... may have said the wrong thing again....
Don't be stupid.
I got her one of them last year.
About the same time as I developed a lump on my head
Sterling is just so limiting; You should try giving her a truly universally acceptable 'gift token'... barley seeds. She plants them, tends them come wind rain or shine, harvests them and trades the resultant cereal crop for goods. And don't tell me the local market town's three hours walk away and frightfully limited; she can always catch a ship to Byzantium for more exotic trades (possibly working off her passage in the 'service' of the captain).
It's a great idea, and it works; look - I can see them germinating now from under all this freshly-heaped soil.....
Missing key events. Talking bollocks. Making stuff up. ~~~SAVE THE KRILL!~~~
