Yeah, she's chuffed to bits with it.

Thanks for your help again.

It's powerful!

It's about as romantic as a vacuum cleaner.

Was doubtful until I read about the perfume, bag shoes etc...Now you are talking!

I'm not saying the picture was a slap in the face, but it certainly was a poor reflection on the relationship. I get my mom a picture, while I give my wife or girlfriends something a little more personal.

Charismatik- Id rather have the vacumn hoover- at least you could switch it on and stick the tubey bit onto your recently made ex boyfriends head until he is left with a big red hoover hicky!

Your mum always asks me for sparkly presents.

Blue Cat

you can't beat a bit of sparkle, but I love that painting, I would have been well happy with it too

What's with all these blocks of half melted candles in your flat, Scamp? A cheap attempt at 'objects d'arts? '

scrubbedexpat141

Not my flat pal, it's hers. She likes that sort of shit.

That being said, a floor lamp and a few candles is considerably nicer than the big main light.

Either way, it's me that licks my fingers and puts them out properly.

Thats because you're married BC..thats supposed to be his girlfriend. Before my wife was my wife all I bought for her was underwear and lingerie from Fredericks of Hollywood. Thats it. No pictures of buildings.

Now she's your wife is her birthday present not to get slapped for 24 hours?

Hey, you're the one that doesn't know how to treat a woman. Didn't your father teach you anything?

scrubbedexpat141

My father left when I was 5, not that it's your business but I have three older sisters, a mother and dad's new wife. 5 women can teach a lot. Especially for birthdays and xmas etc, slutty kecks will get you so far until the bird realises you're actually being a bit selfish, buying them for you to look at.

That aside, I've got some ideas below to help you out in your future quest for something more meaningful than a gift voucher to Ann Summers, or a 'Spa Day' at a hotel you've not heard of before Groupon emailed you;

The blessing about the human race is that everyone is different. Having recently moved to Dubai my girlfriend was wanting gifts to make herself feel more at home, to fill those corners in the lounge with nothing, to cover the big white walls and to have a few more things around her apartment to help settle in.

Her birthday provided a perfect opportunity to get her something like that, amongst all the other gifts that she would normally get (I've even listed some previously).

So, please, try in future to understand that people do things for a reason, a big photo may not be your ideal gift to your wife....but in my circumstances, it was exactly what she wanted in her home.

I'm not really sure why people need things like the variety of needs humans might have, or the different wants people have at certain times. But, hey, no need to thank me, you're most welcome.

charismatick

Hey could you condense that? If I wanted to read War and Peace i'd go to the library
