Kone

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a gift? It cannot cost more than a fiver!

The_Goose

Condoms ribbed, she ll get the idea! *wink wink*

gobby

hedgetrimmer

Something traditionally Irish, then?

lili

a scarfe, but you should have a good taste, or at least her taste:)

Peace

frenchies - i'd give a 5 pack of easy singles, small bottle of wine and a white flag. Just to let them know history never forgets.

Lafortezza

make up a mix tape/cd of good traditional irish music for her, christy moore, pogues, etc etc, I did that for a yank chick I knew once and she loved it,

Lukin Black

Chances are her great-granny's fifth cousin once-removed's husband wasn't Irish though..

Lex_Diamonds

Get her a vibrating leprechaun plush toy from those tat stores sown oconnell bridge way.

Baileys is always pop. with French.
Traditional to give a lump of turf.
real wool crochet hats also are pop.- sounds corny but if I can find that pic. I'll post it.

sceptre

Cheese.

And maybe a monkey if you've a few shekels left over.

Sangre

Get some snails from the garden and spend the fiver on a nice pint.

Lump

Lol Sangre.....

Havelock

And now for something completly different:

Whats the price cap?
You know nothing else about the girl? Her age, what she does etc?
Is her being French so very different?
Have you considered asking her boyfriend what she likes, would appricate?


Perfume is always good, if you know what type they wear.

He only has €5 Havelock and I don't think she would appreciate cheap pound shop perfune

Do you know anything about her at all???

Would she like something funny or is she into all that 'irish' stuff??? Surely you know something about her???

Kone

This is what I know........

1. She is French
2. She is 21
3. She is going out with a good friend of mine
4. She is very quiet

<grabs head and falls down>

gobby

why not ask your mate about what she might like?

lili

if you can save a little money you can offert her a famous perfum, i don't know many girls who don't like it (it's mine by the way:))

"lolita lempicka"

deodorant.

I think I'm a very bad man. I was walking home earlier and saw this utterly beautiful girl approaching me. I sidestepped to get out of her way, but she stopped and asked in her sexy French accent for directions to some place. I was rather dumbfounded that she was talking to me. So I started to give her directions but I hadn’t a clue where the place was. I honestly couldn’t help it. True story.

déodorant, a french name, certainly created by french and not used by them:rolleyes:
i learned a lot since i use the net, i will not stereotype and tell you whatever your nationality that i would offer to you toothpast because it stinks when you speak.

I bet theres a post on www.boards.fr somewhere saying "Un don pour un Paddy"


don=gift btw

lili

what means "paddy"?
and your link doesn't work.
what is it about please?

Faust

Paddy is a slang term for an irish person. And its not a real link it's a joke as this is boards.ie and the french equivalent would be boards.fr . Thanks for making me disassemble my joke and in effect murder it!!!

lili

i would have guessed it:)
my fault, i'm so nervous that i didn't think a lot about the link.

Faust

Forgiveness is given my child..

lili

hmm...
i'm not a child:)

by the way, the lolita lempicka perfum is not a good idea, i did never pay attention at the price because it was a gift someone made to me. but now i know the price and it's quite expensive, 75 euros!!:eek:

The word you were looking for was cadeau. Obviously, your joke would have been hilarious had you gotten that right.

But my french dictionary says gift!? WHy am i alive!???
*dies*

lili

"don" is from the verbe "donner" which means to give. you could say it, you would be understood, but the exact word for "gift" is "cadeau" or "présent".
"cadeau" is the most used.

napalm@night

mushrooms from you to her;)

One-way tickets home hopefully.

Whatever you give her, pay special attention to how it is wrapped. The presentation is as important as the gift to the French.

Karoma

omg!
a real life girl! talked to you!
omg! omg!
this is why you should get out more people..

Eh?

Ireland's neutrality during WW2 wasn't all that impressive.

This thread is a bit sad - she's from France, not Mars!
