The best gift to buy?

Krysstian · Jan 31, 2007

Well, I'm thinking what are good gifts to buy for the opposite sex? I hear a lot of women in my family that would say Please do not buy me chocolate or flowers! to their husbands. So, what is a gift that you would like to receive? Something that you may not get at all or you dont get enough.

I enjoy gifts that come from the heart. Whether its something they sketch, written, or anything that I know took time to create. I like to know that someone put their time into something for me. I love receiving gifts from all my babies, things they made for me.

Definitely not a tie

. Can also depend on personality - I myself don't like getting gifts, fullstop.

Krysstian · Jan 31, 2007

Well...depends on what you consider a gift...

I may be a little weird, but I LOVE gift certificates. That way I can pick out something that I would like, but wouldn't normally just come out of pocket for. Some people don't like to give them because they seem to impersonal.

My girlfriend made me a sketch, I like that a lot.
She also makes a lot of stuff for me. Im not really into getting anything expensive from people, it has to come from the heart. The gifts she gives me really show that she cares. She made me a coffee mug with our picture in it.
If just a random girl was going to give me a gift, honestly I would be a little suspicious of their intentions if they werent my GF, but im just paranoid like that.

I must say I like the idea of something made by oneself for the SO.

My granny knitted a jersey for my grandfather, who then went to town with it on. When he returned, she noticed he no longer had it on. She asked what he did with it, and he said that he had met a hobo in the park (Middle of winter) and felt sorry for him, so he gave it to the hobo.

I don't think my granny ever made my grandfather a jersey again after that

But seriously, especially if the two are gaga over each other, something they spent many hours making is a very nice idea.

A phone call. Why did i say that? I don't know, I have been away too much from my loved ones, sure wouldn't mind them calling me, this time they pay.

Anything from the heart, but I love music, so a cd would count in. God bless!!! :wave:

^ What they said.

Or anything that was seriously thought about.

And if the person is online - a thoughtful gift from the CF armory would work.

Blank123 · Jan 31, 2007

anything from the heart i'm going to love. Be it a phone call, a song on his guitar, a book, a CD, a gift from the CF armory, whatever... as long as he does it as a way to show me he cares about me i'm going to love it.

that being said though it depends on the guy and the gift. If my bf writes me a poem my heart is just going to melt - if a guy friend writes me a poem i'm probably going to wonder what the guy is up to.

The ansa to dat would be a big fat blank check made out to ME. Oh yeah.

Spicy McHaggis · Jan 31, 2007

off the top of my head, and iPod with her favorite songs loaded into it would be cool.

I can tell you from past experience though, that even if the girl SPECIFICALLY ASKS you for a pilates video, the minute you buy it you just called her fat. You can't win that one.

radhead · Jan 31, 2007

Honestly, I think a small gift should be something non-practical. I helped a neighbor lady write a document once and she bought me a CD of guitar music. It was from one of those fancy mall shops that specializes in "gifts" and gadgets and cool things.

The worst gift I ever received? A tube of toothpaste with a Christmas card. The Christmas card itself would have been more than enough. The small practical gift was just depressing.

LOL Radhead and Iklepac

I would like to receive anything beautiful, but it can be simple. Roses are fine, any colour, and so is chocolate, especially Belgian

GoodNewsJim · Jan 31, 2007

I made a mistake. Under pressure of options to get my exgf, I bought her something ahead of time. Now she wants to know what I'll suprise her with! Arggh, don't let people get their presents before the date. I broke one of the gift giving rules.

JPPT1974 · Jan 31, 2007

I like to buy something ahead of time
Before they are out of it
Maybe you should ask ahead of time
What they want in order to get it
Ahead of time.

Bumping for others to see.

I had already planned something but this thread made me expand my idea.

sherri · Feb 1, 2007

Anything. As long as he thought about it.

But the biggest wow factor gifts would be flowers, chocolate or a nice bit of jewellery, not necessarily expensive but something that you picked together. Or ditto stuffed toy or keyring or something.

I love getting ammunition.
