Can You Name What Not to Get Your Girlfriend for Christmas?

[Tora Ziyal]

Anything that you can use, too; i.e., anything that she is likely to interpret as a gift to yourself rather than to her.

A diet book. My dad did this to my mom once on their anniversary.

NOT. NICE.

Power tools.

Got my wife a Kindle Fire for Christmas.

She loves it!!!

They aren't out here yet, so will be getting a regular Kindle 4 for mine I think.

The lame but true answer is that it depends on the girlfriend. I would love gift cards or appliances, but I would hate to get flowers, candy, jewelry, or clothes, things that most women would probably enjoy.

 

[RoJoHen]

I don't know why anybody, man or woman, wouldn't like appliances.

Pregnant.

Pregnant.

the gift (of life) that keeps on giving

My wife and I are kinda skipping on much of the gift giving this Xmas in order to buy the dog a new ACL in January.

Wheee.

I've found it's useful to ask female friends what to get from Victoria's Secret, as long as you have some idea what the recipient will like (and know her size, of course.) Worked for me, anyway.

Of course, what NOT to do is get caught asking that friend to model it for you, so you know how it will look on...

Well... if my girlfriend walked in on that, I could see it having "sexy results."

I'm in kinda the same boat as of about an hour ago. The family van has to get some much needed repairs today, and the price was about three times what we could comfortably handle.

^Nothing like dropping $1800 to have the vet put her knee back together with fishing line.

 

[B.J.]

^Emotionally, no, but same price range.

Either way, it's a holiday killing dick punch.

At least the car won't be shaved and need 8 weeks of rest. She's a Lab, meaning she's insane when she doesn't get out much.

Fuck me sideways.

Videos or books on how to lose weight

Already got this one covered. Videos and books on Disney are what my girlfriend likes.

Disney is ALWAYS a safe gift.

Gift cards aren't necessarily a bad idea. I know some men who are so clueless, that for them a gift card is actually a good idea.

Clueless? Hey, if people don't tell me specifically what they want, they ARE getting gift cards and they'll like it.

I wouldn't get a girlfriend one, though. Flowers usually are a safe bet, aren't they?

 

[captcalhoun]

not if she gets hayfever

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ True dat.

Although you never know, it could be relaxing. Counting flowers on the wall? That don't bother ME at all. Or playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51.
