jthedriva Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) chocolates, dvds, cds, erm depends how long you have known her but jewellery? dont buy vouchers in my opinion, a bit impersonal, or if you really want to get in her favour - take her out one day for a birthday treat, alot more significant and memorable for her style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited February 28, 2006 by jthedriva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMon Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 What about a shenis? Every woman should have one. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Or alternatively, all the things suggested above are good too. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixwagen Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Depend on how much you want to spend....What sort of thing is she into? Music, shopping, horse riding etc??I for one like diamonds(!!) and for our first christmas, Kieron bought me a white gold and diamond ring - sounds extravagant, but have a look in Earnest Jones or H Samuel - you can get some nice bits for about £50.At the end of the day, it's the thought that counts, so I'm sure she'll be chuffed with whatever you get her. Make it really personal and she'll do whatever you want - that's why Kieron keeps buying me nice things!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_chris1981 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 if ya 3want something that says you honestly thought about what she would like then....(bear in mind im telling you a big secret of how to keep women mildly happy here)...a well chosen selection of products from lush (bath bombs, hand/body creams, and their lip balms that taste of chocolate are all winners) 3 itemes is the optimum number.other things that can be added to this are specific items that your potential lady will truley appreciate, because they show uve been paying attention; for example:sally is always cold and complaining about having a sore neck, so one of the things i got her for valentines day was some soft cotton scalfs from h&m that she had said she liked.its all about paying attention - secret to any good/potential relationship style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yup, Chris speaks the truth.The presents that stick in my mind are the thoughful ones. One of my ex's bought me the missing book from a collection I was building up - we'd never talked about it, it was just something he noticed.Something that shows thought, care, consideration and a desire to impress! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> (P.S Like Vix, I too am a *big* fan of diamonds. I have a few, but I'd like to own more!)Make her dinner too - another guarenteed winner!!Unless you're a really bad cook & could potentially end up giving her food poisoning!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time she went round to her now husband's parents house for dinner (aged about 15), his Mum did an omelette. Sally, not wanting to cause a fuss, did her very best to eat said omelette... she was successful until about 5 minutes later when all of a sudden she had an insatiable urge to vomit... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vixwagen Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yeah - have made that mistake in the past. Sound like a right fool, but I always go for platinum now - my engagement ring was white gold, and went yellow after about 2 months! Am tempted to have it platinum coated for the wedding to renew the shine and colour.A friend of mine works for Earnest Jones and she says you may as well buy sterling silver rather than white gold as they both tarnish.

Al Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 You can always have white gold re-plated, but eventually it'll turn yellow again. Platinum's just a bit dearer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Can save a bit of cash if you buy conflict diamonds too.Wasn't the report that quite a few of them end up in 'reputable' jewellers anyway, with only 1 out of 10 knowing where the diamonds have come from.
