Don't think practical
Remember guys, if it's useful and practical, she probably doesn't want it. To put otherwise, don't get her an exercise machine or a health club membership. You maybe have no ulterior motives, but in her eyes you're telling her she's fat. But a health club membership is more acceptable if you go together, this idea works well if you've discussed it before or she sees that you're also making an effort to be healthy in the New Year.

Avoid kitchen appliances
Also, don’t buy her cooking appliances. But what if she enjoys cooking? In any case in her mind, you're looking for a holiday chef, not a lover. Self-serving gifts are fine, as long as she doesn't see it that way. Otherwise, there will be no holiday goodies for you.

Try to remember what you gave her last year
Whatever you do, do not be the ghost of Christmas past and get her the same thing you gave her last year. But if you're thinking about getting her something risqué for your escapades together, just be sure she doesn't open your gift in front of her whole family... or you may be spending the holidays home alone.

Jewelry
Every woman loves jewelry. Nothing proves your love quite like high-quality earrings, a bracelet or a necklace. But try to avoid buying her a ring. She might mistake this Christmas for another special day.

Additional benefit: The way she reacts to her present will show that jewelry is really a guy's best friend.

Lingerie
Show her how much she means to you. Make your special lady a sexy, silk chemise or baby doll top. It is perfect for a crisp, snowy evening while the two of you are roasting chestnuts over an open fire.

Additional benefit: She'll feel sexy, so she'll be in the mood for love.

Day Spa Gift Certificate
Get her a spa package with a facial, manicure, massage, and other stuff women love. While she is getting primped and pampered, she'll only be thinking about you and how she can make you feel like royalty in return.

Additional benefit: Hit the spa with her and enjoy a massage yourself.

Clothes
Warm her up in style with a stylish sweater that's perfect for an evening walk in a winter wonderland - the kind memories are made off. Only make sure you get her the "correct" size. At last remember, whatever her size, she thinks of herself as petite.

Additional benefit: Add a matching cashmere scarf and she might suggest that you tie her up with it in the bedroom.
