Christmas Present for Wife... Need Ideas!!!

[ironduke2009]

Ok, my wife is a huge fan of Duke sports. Besides tickets, does anyone have good ideas for presents that are Duke-related ?

I found a couple of things in the Duke store, but I know some of you have some great ideas out there :-)

A game + weekend at The Washington Duke.

A vacuum cleaner! Hahah! j/k

I've not found too many women to turn down a nice long massage, facial, pedicure, etc. Good luck!

And how would these be Duke-related, per the original poster's request? :rolleyes:

Let's see, as a Duke alumna, fan, and wife off the top of my head, I'd love to get

1) tix to a game--at this pt any game any time
2) my diploma framed (although it may be in a different state rt now)
3) nice Duke coasters for the coffee table
4) a Duke flag for the front of the house--although I just moved to Austin, not sure how the UT fans would take it
5) A Duke fleece (women's cut of course)
6) possibly a Duke throw blanket
7) I'm not into jewelry personally, but the rt piece might be convincing
8) Coach K's book on the Olympics
9) A nice framed photo or illustration of the Duke Chapel
10) Per the season, Duke ornaments?

Hope this gets your idea mill going

I giggle inside whenever my wife talks wanting to get a facial. That is one of those words that has two completely opposite meanings for guys and girls.

Some of this jewelry was very nice - I liked the trident & D in sapphires.

If you want some sparkle for much less money, Converse make sneakers covered in sequins. I have a pair of red but I believe they come in blue. Weezie - don't you have a pair of these?

Take her to the beach during bowl season. Play a little golf, eat some great food, get down tonight....get down tonight.

Just tell her:

Baby, babe, I'll meet you,
Same place, same time.
Where we all can get together.
And ease up our minds.

Play a little golf,
eat some great food,
get down tonight....get down tonight.

They do indeed DinK! They would make a fabulous present...as long as my own singular coolness factor isn't compromised I would heartily recommend them as a great gift.

Tickets to a game plus some diamond jewelry.

An autographed copy of Coach K's latest book plus some diamond jewelry.

Bluebutton posted a great list! If your wife likes the details, the basketball yearbook is a nice gift.

I have a silver plated jewelry box from Lineberry. It has the Duke trident logo on it. It's a great piece!

He went to CalTech, I think they won a game and a documentary was made about it. It's more like he endures my Duke love.
