    Depends on how girly your other half is to be honest and your budget...

    Massage
    Manicure & Pedicure
    Hairdresser vouchers
    Shoes (be careful)
    Perfume
    Jewellery (get something engravable and be sentimental ) or a jewellery box
    If you've got kids Vouchers for a photographer who does quality family photos?
    A framed photo of the two of you (could be recent, could be from years ago) with a note on the back of the frame
    Hotel for a night, dinner, sleep in, fluffy bath robes.
    If she decorates cakes, the new planet cake cupcake book (have a family member who would kill for this)
    If she loves to bake (biscuits, cakes etc) one of those kitchen aid mixers?
    If she loves to cook (not cooks for love) any of the new release cookbooks...pick a recipe from the book, make a hamper with the ingredients and cook it together?
    Something in the tech area...laptop, ipod, ipad, kindle, new camera
    A set of wine glasses, her favourite bottle of wine and a box of her favourite chocolates....or a basket filled with her favourite foods (make your own hamper)
    If she loves IKEA a gift voucher?
    Tickets to a show...a musical, drama, opera, ballet, comedian
    A purse or handbag
    See if you can have a bouquet of flowers delivered on Christmas day? (interflora maybe)
    If she likes natural products go to the Body Shop and have them make a hamper for you or purchase a ready made one?
    Dinner at a nice restaurant
    A novel/paperback by her favourite author
    A Nikon D90 with lenses, SD cards and Bag (you had better read this Simon, I'd really really love you but have to kill you for spending too much )
    If she enjoys gardening, new gloves, tools, a plant or three, plant pots, water feature
    If she loves diy new tools, a new tool box etc
    If she loves art and you know her style you could get her an art print? deviantart.com has free shipping around this time of year and thousands of artists to choose from. I purchased this for the other half last year deviantART Shop Framed Wall Art Prints & Canvas | Photography | Urban & Rural | Good Morning, London. by artist `geckokid
    Edit to add - DVDs from ABC shop or SBS (Dymocks I believe)...Any of the series they just HAD to watch in a DVD set is always a good idea
    La Premiere or Gold Class Movie Vouchers (where you sit in the comfy recliners and get delivered food and drink before and during the film)...you may have to let her choose the film as well

    OH! A 2011 Land Rover Calendar! Then she can write your anniversary on there and you'll not forget!

    You didn't stop to think that maybe she's just bad at cooking?

    They are a bit hard to figure out sometimes, I was surprised (not pleasantly) by her reaction when I offered to buy her a P38A for Christmas. It got even worse when I thought I'd realised my mistake and quickly offered a Defender instead

    My list was easy.
    I proposed
    Eldest son needs a dual rear wheel carrier to fit a 130.
    Middle child needs a rear winch for same.
    Youngest needs a mud dash pod.
    Mrs needs a camper trailer with defender wheels.

    My santa priveledges have now been suspended.
    Wife did ask how they would open the presents if they were bolted to George on the drive.

    I am hoping Mrs Road will like a bright pink pool cue.

    That way I might actually get to use mine when we play.
