Looking for Xmas present ideas for my DW

I have no imagination and need some Xmas present ideas for my wife.

I was thinking about a gift related to the RV that my wife could use and really enjoy.

Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays!

What is her favorite part of RVing and what part does she hate the most?

My wife is always cold so I bought her a thick comforter last year for use when we RV. I also bought her the Little Campfire to keep her warm when we are sitting outside in the evenings. This Christmas I bought her a Dooney and Burke purse as she hinted she didn't want any RV related items.

Blankets or throw pillows. Ice maker if you won't be castrated for buying an appliance! Comfy camp chair. Tervis tumbler with her favorite thing on it. My wife would love a washer dryer but she sure ain't getting it!

Maybe she'll weld you up a chastity belt?

My wife was complaining about how fast the tanks filled up on our last TT so I bought her a blue buddy tote for her birthday........ She still makes reference to "her" present every time I use it

Go with at least one personable item that she least expects and/or she may not get for herself. It will pay off in dividends and ease the shock from getting her the snowblower. (although my wife loves her snowblower!)

I'm thinking about a nice lounge chair for my DW. She was looking at a couple at the dealer's showroom this summer for a nice spot to sit and read. Pretty comfortable and they fold really small. And then we'll probably have to get a sign made "Mom's chair - keep out" so its truly her chair.

How much traveling do you guys do?

Here's a thought - Get DW a base Pandora Bracelet with her birthstone, and ONE RV Charm (they have stylized RV Beads - here is an example: https://www.google.com/shopping/prod...ed=0CGcQpiswAQ)

DW & DD LOVE their Pandoras because as they have life events or visit places, they can buy a keepsake bead for the bracelet.

Amazon has a good price on them: Amazon.com: PANDORA Sterling Bracelet with Lobster Claw Clasp 590700HV (7.5): Jewelry

This satisfies several wifey gift mandates:
1. It is Jewelry
2. It will build memories
3. It is sparkly
4. It DOES NOT plug in, or otherwise power up

Been there, done that...DW LOVES "her" Chair (and it folds up and fits nicely in the basement of our 5er!

Heck. I bet my wife would be jealous! Many years ago, he wanted a sewing machine when we were 18 or 19 and had just moved in together- so that's what she got. She wasn't the upset sort.
