That's a good idea. Ugh. Not sure.

we go back and forth from just small stuff to big stuff.
Last year we just went to Mexico instead.
But you can never go wrong with jewelry, unless it's cheap crap or heart shaped.

not sure if Emo is an act, but plays his role so well.

get her a scale and a gym membership. chicks love that stuff.

Make her some "gift certificates" that are good for things that you will do for her, like "I will give you a back rub," "I will clean the house," "day where I don't hit you," "boner time" stuff like that.

you're getting off cheap, at least they're not tory burch

Oh yeah. :cheese:

I'm going to assume that every single one of these gift ideas, with the exception of the trip to Mexico, is a joke.
Why not just buy her a vacuum or a blender?

Guy in front of at Victoria Secret doing the same thing right now. :gocho:

Because you can't have a romantic deep soak in a vacuum you dork

A gift certificate is very impersonal. And a guy buying lingerie for his girlfriend is very stressful for the lady. Then you feel like you have to deliver something.
-
ya the tub is a great idea but i sure would love to see it, i consider myself a bit of a tub aficionado
how cool is this thing? (answer: very)

then tell VS to stop playing commercials during every football break like chicks want the stuff for christmas
-
Yes, similar. We were quoted a price and I'm going to just let her pick out whatever she wants. She scratched it herself because of cost when estimating the build cost.

Pacing the mall right now. What do you think is the highest salaried position here? I always wonder weird stuff like that.

Well if the gE femalez would post then maybe we won't eff it up this year (again).

You should get His and Her matching denim jackets, that way she knows that you're in it for the long haul.

If you're going to go a bit impersonal, I recommend a spa package. You could get a couples package. I always ask for a spa package for Christmas. Willes will not do it with me, so last year he got my BFF's husband to buy her one too. We had a great day, and met up with Willes and her husband afterwards for a nice dinner.
Or you could just ask your girlfriends what they want.
-
Usually I suck at gift giving but this Christmas I have it nailed. Valentines is a vacation I already bought. Now I get to kick my feet up until her birthday in September.
-
Well I'm already buying her what she wants but I want to do something extra (in addition to helping her show off her buns).
-
i feel like just asking them what they want and then going out and buying it is extremely lazy
-
I already got her a massage for her bday.
-

Yes but its foolproof if you don't have any good ideas
-

It is and it's not fun. Now for my parents, I totally want them to buy me what I asked for. Bring home that flat screen tv please.

Usually FANw just finds something she likes and often buys it herself. I do the same. Works.
-
christmas loses its significance and meaning when families (like mine) just exchange gift cards. might as well just keep your money and hang with the fam

For us we just thought why not make it easy to get what we really want and not make it some guessing game. The surprise gift part is more for the kids.

you do have to deliver
-
Look at the stuff she's got and think about how it could be enhanced (I'm not talking about cosmetic surgery). Take a real look at the jewelry or the clothes she wears. Maybe you can find something similar or that would complement it. What kind of books does she read? I'm sure you can find plenty of other choices in the same genre. Pajamas - not lingerie - from VS are a good choice.

Same. We usually sit together and browse Amazon while boozing it up and then high five when we pull the trigger on our respective irresponsible purchases. This year, I got carried away and also bought my dad a pair of night vision goggles.
-
Yeah, I would actually prefer receiving zero gifts. but whatevs.
-
I buy myself all sorts of awesome things for Festivus.

This is fantastic.
Also, Christmas or birthday gifts simply need to be in the vicinity of said event. For example, my Christmas gift this year was my Galaxy Note 3 which I got in mid October.

gifts are pretty stupid for people with disposable income (so not for kids, unless the kids are spoiled).

Today is my brother's 40th birthday. He lives in another state/city so I wo'nt get to see him. But my wife knows the restaurant they're going for dinner and she called ahead and is sending the table a bottle of wine. Holy crap my wife is so thoughtful and awesome. So like that just disproved your theory.
-

I enjoy buying people things they could afford but would probably never spend the money on.

If you are buying the gift using a bank account (or miles earning credit card) that you share with the receiver of the gift, then yes.

Getting a Kindle Fire HDX, not romantic or anything, but I bet she likes it.

i'm giving gifts to each member of my immediate family. the amount i'm spending on said gifts is nominal. i don't think you grasped the meaning of my original post.

My husband just called to tell me he bought himself his presents from me and already got them wrapped. I am pissed. We did not discuss this. There will be a fight later.

exchanging gifts on christmas is one of the many things i hate about christmas. it's so forced.
-
I enjoy buying people things they could afford but would probably never spend the money on.
that (reduction/elimination of purchasing guilt) is probably the most important value added through gift giving. the other main one would be the feeling appreciated, cherished, understood, etc. sentiment that is supposed to be engendered in the recipient. but the latter can easily go wrong (poorly chosen gift = feeling not understood), or be dissipated (gift chosen from a list or given as a seasonal duty).
don't think either of the above typically outweigh the value destroyed in suboptimal and misaligned purchases, though.
-

_fence, prolly the most neurotypical poster on this whole board, said the exact same thing. so did michigan, who i admit doesn't seem very neurotypical, but apparently is. maybe if you could concentrate on a single analytical problem for more than 15 seconds, you'd have noticed the data falsifying the pattern you thought you were recognizing.

I don't think Santa ever visited sys at his house when he was a kid. :frown:
-
CNSWife and I usually just designate a certain amt and put it away for our next trip. We usually plan our trips around this time of the year for that reason and so that they feel like a present.
This year? MLS Cup tickets. I bought them, she designated them out gift to each other and we had an absolutely drunken fantastic RSL face mushing time. Now for my soon coming Bday I need new Maui Jim's because they got completely broken during our Xmas present.
We have done the no gift route too. Both of our Bdays are within like 3 wks of xmas, so sometimes we don't do xmas and just do a combo bday gift later.
We are pretty Meh about it all.

We don't do gifts since we've been married. It's all our money.

Welp, nailed it. :aspiehighfive:
Fortunately, I keep a small circle and the only one I can't read is my sister's husband, and he doesn't really give a crap anyway.

In your case you need a gift that says "remember that time I dumped you? It could happen again so be cool with what you get"

Concert tix, cooking class, if she collects some junk then get that. I like to get someone to do artwork that is very oddly specific to people. I got one for my GF of our first date. Someone emailed my dad a joke about a lobster-male genitals. He loved it. For father's day I commissioned someone to do art of the Lobster-male genitals destroying a building that he hates. Was really classy

Personalized artwork is an amazing idea

Some people ITT are pretty bad at giving presents to people they love/date.

Again, it should say "I dumped you because I thought I could do better. I couldn't at that moment in time but by no means have I stopped looking. Peace on earth"
-
i don't like receiving gifts and i rarely ever want anything. putting together a christmas list is usually kind of a chore in that respect. however, i know it's important to my mom to have everyone open gifts on christmas so i usually try to put something together.
note: i did really want to go to Europe for spring break last year, so take the above with a boulder of salt.

I bought Mrs IPA4ME a few things this year... Hiking shoes, workout clothes, lingerie, dress. I try to take notes (Google Keep list) during the year. Otherwise, I end up buying stuff she doesn't want.

i am a horrible gift giver and also a horrible gifting target. i have a pathological inability to ask for anything or admit i want anything.
