What to Buy Her...

[Dial 9-1-1]

Alright gents. Including today, 8 more days until we decide it's time to hit the mall and have to figure out what to buy "her" for Christmas. I know none of you guys have bought "her" anything yet, and none of you guys have even thought about what to buy "her" yet.

But gentlemen, we must unite and help one another. Let us throw out possibilities of gifts and then ALL of us will buy "her" this gift.

If "she" hates the gift, well, we're all in the same boat, and she can't throw out the line: "I can't believe all you bought me was this! Do you know what STD bought Ms. STD? He bought her a freaking diamond ring with 'I Love You' inscribed in miniature rubies. Why can't you be so romantic?"

If she loves the gift, then we're all stars!

So let's hear some possibilities other than a "pearl necklace."

If someone does see me buying her a diamond ring please shoot because clearly I have lost my mind and there is no hope for me. I have learned that when you have been given a list stick to that list and don't even think about buying something off the list because if they haven't thought of it they don't want it. I personally try to avoid the romantic gifts on that list in order to avoid that you do love me phrase we all hate to hear. So keep to the list and keep the gifts impersonal and you will have a merry but not too merry Christmas.

Man...you are so smart...you must have learned a HARD lesson!!
One thing to always remember...if you ARE going to sway away from the "list"...diamonds are a girls best friend

Don't do what Mr. striker14 did and put a rolling pin in "her" stocking...and when given the, "I can't believe you gave me a rolling pin" look...don't say something stupid like "now you can bake me some goodies" because it makes for a wonderul weapon

Happy Shopping!!

I think he gave you the rolling pin as a hint, as in: Please use this on me and put me out of my misery.

 

[striker14]

It was a close call...I really had to hold back...trust me!!
It sure beat the casserole dish he had wrapped up for me under the tree!
He is so giving

On a serious note La Senza or La Vie en Rose always work as well...usually if you don't know the size of "her" and you don't want to insult "her"...Gift Certs. work just fine!!

Hey Dial...nice one on the "put me out of my misery"...I would even vote for that one...fcuker!! I line em' up...you knock em' down!!

pyjamas, bracellette(sp?) or watch, tickets to concerts, chocolate (if you make her a stocking), digital camera, gift certificates for massage, MP3 player w/radio for watching tv while at the gym, perfume gift pack, her fav' DVD, a DVD player if she doesn't have one, new cd player for her car, cute lil' tree ornaments for the Christmas tree, a subscription to redbook or cosmo or something

there's lotsa things you can get

 

[Keeper]

A good cheapo is the Love Actually DVD. It's a romance (duh) that she'll love, and you'll find it funny as well.

 

[SC]

Cryuff,

How very commercial and materialistic of you ...All that stuff would work

Somebody say a muzzle. Or am I the only one living with a pain in the arse nag. Woosa!

 

[terry]

Love Actually? Funny? As in humourous?

Your bird must have learning difficulties.

I'm with the legendery Dutch #10 who said

MP3 player w/radio for watching tv while at the gym

. If Canadia has that kind of technology then get stuck into that. The MP3 players everywhere else only play music. How clever someone in Canadia invented one with a telly as well. Does it only work in a gym?

or something.

Best idea of the lot. Best to get her something.

What if her is a him?

BWAH HAH HAH!!!!!

Hilarious....

Steve - I guess you're pretty good at ducking....

Since I've been living with Mrs. stew for far far longer than rational, I've learned that a few things are more acceptable than others:

1) La Senza gift certificates work just fine...
2) women have this strange fixation with shiny rocks....
3) shoes should be purchased only by gift certificates. Don't do that to yourself....
4) if you're really not sure about something you've bought when you're at the desperate stage, get one of the kids to say "I thought of it all by myself" before giving it to Mum. Then duck.
5) there is no such thing as too much chocolate body paint...
6) despite what you're led to believe about perfume, a woman will only use up so much of it over any period of time. She will be really impressed if you tell her "it smelled really nice on the sales clerk"
7) never buy her anything that can be used as a weapon against you (even if you can duck really well like Steve); you have to sleep sometime...
8) picking dead flowers out of what's left of the garden only seems to work if you're under the age of 7...
9) if you're really stuck, tell her you're taking her on vacation to somewhere warm with a beach "when you get time in January." Then duck....
10) the Premium Membership on TTP...who could really go wrong with that? Then again, how many times has Mrs. Regs posted now?
11) wrapping yourself up naked with a ribbon and bow: not a good idea unless you've got a backup plan (no, telling her that "it could have been worse - look what Mrs. KNVB has to put up with" isn't a good backup plan).
12) lottery tickets - see the part about ducking, above in several different places...

lots more ideas, but I've got to go - Mrs. stew wants the same kind of suit that Uma Thurman wore in Kill Bill, and I have to go find one for her before she can find a katana.....

beers,

stew

Some have a radio built in as well that picks up the audio from whatever tv show is playing on the "telly" if so equiped. You could buy her a normal MP3 player but then she couldn't hear Dr. Phil. Anything that encourages her to stay on that elyptical trainer.

If her is a him... buy yourself (just yourself) a one way bus ticket

Gift Certificates can always get you in trouble though.
Anyone ever get this response from a gift certificate?
"You mean you don't know enough about what i like to pick something out yourself? How long have we been together?"

Mrs. Yoda hasn't used it but i have heard people who have.

Keep it simple. We've decided to just do stockings for each other, filled with basic stuff: smelly candles, lacy underwear, smelly soap, chocolates, socks, etc. Not sure what i'll put in hers though.
Then usually buy something for the house that both of us want.

See if you can sway her over to that way of thinking. If you can't she's too materialistic and you should dump her. Love isn't about gifts you know.

Anyways, back to reality.

We spend most of our money on our daughter instead of ourselves. It's there time of year not ours.

Lita,

Podría hacerle tal amor maravilloso con un dispositivo tan erótico y atractivo. Espero que Santa lo traiga para usted y que usted y tengo un encuentro de la ocasión en una publicación local. Sería mi sueño.

Feliz Navidad Lita.
