Follow Miss Trixie's tips below and you will come up with a good Christmas present idea every time.

Tip #1:- Start a 'Christmas Presents For Wife' List

Miss Trixie says you are going to have to start listening to what your wife says.

Yes, I know it's a tough one, but you'll be amazed at just how many useful things you can pick up just by tuning in occasionally.

Every time you hear your wife mention something that she really needs or wants, just add it to your list. Write it down.

This little list will guide you towards some great gift ideas. The trick is to make sure you only write down the stuff that would make a good gift.

For example:

• If she says the car really needs new tires - that isn't a gift idea.
• If she says she really needs a new washing machine - that isn't a gift idea.
• If she says she's tired and would love a break - that's a gift idea. Put this on your list of 'Christmas Gifts For Wife'. It could be a day at a spa, a set of handmade vouchers listing all the jobs you'll do for her (including massages and foot rubs), a luxury weekend away with no kids.
• If she says "Wow, that was an amazing movie, I'd love to see it again" - that's a gift idea. Yes, put this on your list of 'Christmas Gifts For Wife'. Buy her the DVD (and write a sweet note to go with it).

Tip #2:- What Would Your Wife Do If She Had More Time?

Miss Trixie says that you need to talk to your wife.

Don't frighten her by stomping up to her and barking, "Whaddyawant?"

Choose a quiet moment, and ask her what she would do if she had nothing to stop her. If there were no kids, no house to clean, if she wasn't always worrying and thinking about everyone else...what would she really love to do?

Possibly you already know the answer to this, or you may be surprised. You may learn something new about your wife, and you will have a new idea to add to your gift list.

She may want to do something creative, to write, to spend more time in the garden, to travel, to do yoga...

Don't be put off by grand sounding schemes - if she's keen on travel you could book her in for language lessons, buy her the bestselling book set in the region, or take her to a restaurant that specializes in the cuisine.

Get the picture? Add her comments to your 'Christmas presents for wife' list.

Tip #3:- Give It With Style

Here's the thing: Miss Trixie has noticed that all too often, a man will hand over a present that has taken hours of sweat and anxiety to choose, only to spoil the whole effect by not wrapping it!! And the card? What card?

Women notice the little things.

Yes, it may be a gorgeous set of lingerie, but if you hand it over in the bag you bought it in, then it's obvious to your wife you are buying it for your own pleasure, not hers.

A beautifully wrapped present means you really were thinking of her and that you appreciate her.

Add a lovely card with a heartfelt message, and her happiness will be complete. The present could be rubbish and she'd be happy with it!

...well, no, diamonds would be better, but you see how it all helps.
