I went Christmas shopping yesterday for the wife. Not sure what to get her. I ended up purchasing the necklace for her 40th birthday. It will be from the kids and me.

But I would like to get her something for Christmas as well. I mentioned to her that I was going shopping, and she replied, "Well, I may have gotten something already." I guess she meant that she had purchased something for herself that the kids can give to her. I let that comment slide, and went anyway.

So... I need suggestions, please. Nothing romantic, of course. Practical, thoughtful, and "gift-like."
