Something from the comforts of home. When my brother was in the Navy (pre- 9/11) we'd send him care packages filled goofy crap: cereal (like Lucky Charms or something that he loved as a kid), cookies, gum, candy, all kinds of junk food - that's apparently a hot commodity. Letters, cards, stuff like that. Something that would make him smile from either the sheer hilarity of it or be touched that someone thought to do it. \nGood luck!

Oooh, the dreaded office gift exchange!\n\nThe trick is to pick something fun and special, without being so specific that no one is interested in the gift.  Start with a “basic”, and then add a few twists with clever packaging.\n\nBasics\n\nMovie passes\nMovie rental card\nScratch tickets\nStarbucks card  \nPound of really good coffee\nItunes gift card  \nMag light (That light that you shake and never needs batteries.)\nGift card from Old Navy, bookstore, coffee shop, popular store.\n     (Try to pick a store that has extra “perks” with the card, one time I got an Old Navy card that said that if it was used in the week after Christmas buys also got a chance to win extra money to spend. )\nBeautiful cake from a nearby bakery.  (We did an Italian cream cake… was very popular) \nVariety box of funky/fun greeting cards \n\n\nTheme gifts - take a basic, and make it fun by bundling it with some inexpensive related items.\n\nOld fashioned fun box:\nWind up toys, Matchbox cars, “Parachute men”, slingshot, Super bounce ball, Suction bouncy toys, Silly putty….\n\nMovie night:\nPopcorn, candy, bowl, Movie rental card\n\nGourmet Java Jolt:\nCoffee, Flavored syrup, and “Frother” (it is an inexpensive “whipper” to create foam, last one I bought was $7 bucks)\n\nSummer fun:\nSnorkle and fin set\n\nInside Joke:\nBox of Diet Caffeine-free Dr. pepper.  One of the girls in our office was crazy for it, so someone found 2 big packs of it, and wrapped it up for the swap.  When it was wrapped it looked huge – after it was opened, everyone knew who it was for.  But of course, she had something they wanted.. and so the negotiating began!\n\nMaybe someone in your office has a quirky habit or interest that you can play off of!\n\n\n\nIdeas for success:\n\nWrap the gift!\n- Use an oversized box, people tend to go for the big boxes first\n- Be creative.  Wrap the present in a mysterious/fun way.  Egg Carton (who would pick a "dozen eggs") ? Coffee can? Brown paper bag with a rubber band?  Box from something else.\n-Wrap smaller items (scratch tickets, gift cards etc.) in a larger box or with a larger  item.  For example:\n-- a CD Case\n-- Box of Candy canes (Protect the tickets in a plastic bag and tape to front of box).  Looks like candy canes as they unwrap, until they see the tickets on the front.\n-- Inside a pickle jar  (I have a friend that does this one a lot... and it gets a good response, go figure!)\n-- Use an Altoids tin for gift cards.  If you are crafty, you can "remake" the tin into a one-of-a-kind box.\n\n"Break the rules"\n\n- Bring an extra ‘White Elephant” gift, wrap it, and put it in the middle of the pile. Something crazy, ugly, laughable, and totally different…. (Whoever gets that one, can always pick again after the joking is done.)  You never know, someone might actually want it!\n -- Dog chewed shoe\n -- Old child-size portable record player  (was fought over.)\n -- Look around, you probably have something that will work...\n\nHave fun with it! \n\nThings to avoid (unless you really, really, know that people in the office will like it.)\n - Obvious "gift with purchase items"\n - Practical joke items\n - Dreaded holiday Combo packages.\n - Edible underwear, or other adult items that might just go "oh so wrong"\n - Gourmet Hot cocoa set with a mug\n - Scented candles  (if it was all women maybe....)

Perhaps you could offer to take her dog to the groomer, and while you have some time alone with him or her, have the pet's picture made in a Santa hat or other cute attire.  Find a nice frame that will go well with her home or office.  This will show that you actually put thought into the gift as well. I'm not sure where you live, but Wal-Mart has a photo package for under $10 that comes with some 8x10s and a 14xsomething as well as wallets, etc. Petsmart does grooming for under $30, and a nice picture frame will definitely be under $50.

I have a long list! But mostly I want something that shows that the giver thought about what I would like personally. Anyone can give generic bath gel or a gift card.

How about something for the house? A nice picture, anythng from www.williamssonoma.com, pretty bowls/plates, cookwear etc. \nOr try gift certificates to the movie theater, a book store or another store they enjoy.\nHow about one-night at a hotel if you have that kind of cash with a dinner paid by you, or just a nice dinner you prepare.\nAnother great website full of nice gifts is www.redenvelope.com. They may have nice robes/slippers with monograms and much more. Good luck!

Thats a really neat idea in itself! What about making her a little gift basket with all of those girly things that we like...such as bath items, candles, and chocolate? Good Luck!

where are there not?  practically every major online store will giftwrap for you, but some holiday classics are Hickory Farms (they even let you select the date you want to deliver, so you could order now, and not have it delivered till Christmas), Cherry Moon Farms, Hersheys, FTD.com, etc.  For some really classy stuff, try Smithsonian.com, and museums of art (ie. Boston, Chicago, San Francisco)

Get them a simple giftcard from a local store. Let them choose whatever they want.

Well, if you ever need to get them a present, take a look at "The Duct Tape Book". I included a link to it on Amazon.

How funny -- my husband has done all of the things you listed (the song is still top of the list).  \n\nHe gave me an awesome b-day present of a hot air balloon trip for my 30th b-day (don't know if I could stomach it now) and another great gift was a surprise gondola ride (wine and chocolate covered strawberries as we cruised Coronado bay as the sun set..)  Horsebackriding was also a fun gift -- the trick is that these were all surprises and the fun part was in guessing where we were headed and then the fun of getting there to see what we were in for!\n\nSo try a neat "experience" like these.  Another cool thing (but you have to really know your wife) is a big household project that you could care less about but you know your wife would love (a fancy new front door that you install -- or have a professional insall -- a cool new chandelier or modern light to replace the old one above the dining room table - just be sur eto get advice from her mom or friend on the taste / appearance of what you select).\n\nGood luck -- you sound like a great husband and I know that takes hard work and dedication  :)

You can make a "gift certificate book." Each certificate could be something different like, "A Free Massage," "Home Made Dinner of his choice," "Breakfast in Bed," etc.\n\nOr if you've been with him for a while, you can make him a scrapbook with photos, magazine cut outs, inside jokes, movie/concert ticket stubs, etc... \n\nBe creative :)

something tasteful and personal, but not too personal. Lik a gift basket or something. Don't give the female bath products. Try tea and cookies instead. For the guy, some small tech thing is usually welcomed. you can get nice stuff of this nature without spending too much, too. www.gifts.com can help, too

First, send her a really nice Christmas card.  You can give her a scarf and matching gloves or mittens.  You could give her a box of chocolates.  You can give her a music CD, a figurine, or a trinket box.  You can have someone take a picture of you both and you could have the picture framed or you can even give her a mug with the picture on it.  Most photo shops sell them.  You can even have them put a personal message on the mug.
