    What type of things are people getting BF/GF this year. I'm looking for ideas for GF.
    Jewellery, roses, cards, chocloates .........etc are all pretty boring and not very good value for money IMO.

    Anyone out there with a brain wave they wish to share.

    Yes. How about telling your girlfriend you love her today. Take her out to dinner tomorrow. Buy her chocolates on Sunday and flowers on Tuesday. Why not do these things randomly? Rather than blowing a rediculous amount of cash for a rediculous commercialised day!?

    Crazy I know.

    <edit> Spelling and where the hell's my signature gone?!!? :confused:

    Well you could, if you had the money, buy that virginity girl thing....but then that would really be more a g/f buying for a b/f kinda present, and most women aren't that liberal minded :D

    I'm not really into commercial things, so I was thinking of being extra romantic this valentines night by pushing for anal with the girl I've been seeing for the last week or so.

    a new frying pan always goes down well, its something thats usefull, will be used long into the future and will come in very handy in dishing up a romantic meal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 Klaus


    bring her up to howth head, serve her with champagne and strawberries and cream, go for a long, romantic walk, and then ask er for oral


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    You could buy her something a bit out there like a skydive, a day driving a racecar, a horseriding trek or a day canoeing... em..sorry, I just listed the stuff I'd like for myself. :)
    No bf to get them for me though... sniff!

    you've just listed b'day pressies. Which is fair enuff, cos why do are we forced to find something romantic to do on valentines day. I reckon good romance should be spur of the moment and unexpected. Valentines day feels like going through the motions
    Failing that - card and edible underwear?

    Treat her to a Dutch Oven to show her you love her.

    Wouldn't go with the Frying pan, those things hurt. I think a nice deep fat fryer would do the same job with less negative health implications. If you decide to go for the healthy option George Formans lean mean grilling machine is your only man. And dont forget to let the lady in you life russel up a nice meal for you so she can try out her lovely pressie.

    She will like that. Trust Me

    These are the words of a man that has never had hot oil poured over his genitals.

    Get her some hot lingerie. Not only will she be delighted, it'll make her feel really sexy, and she'll model it for you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭Lex_Diamonds


    Just do nothing. Dismiss it as a Hallmark holiday. If you do get her something get a cheesegrater, trouser press or something. Just basically **** around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭Caliden


    a bottle of harpic.
    and if your feeling really adventurous go for the "ice mint" gel harpic.
    reason being the women on the ads seem to be always smiling when they are holding it and are deemed "the experts" with a bottle of it :D

    Plus the women in those ads are always fine! :D

    Still do you ever see fat chicks in ads promoting stuff?

    btw HEY ALL!!!!!

    I always liked the thoughts of a single Flavorite flower...Mines a tulip. Tinker had a great idea... I would love for a man to buy me some pretty lingerie...and I would deff. model it for him!!!!

    Make a home made card...make brownies or cookies and cut them out with heart shaped cookie cutters. Then get the easy write icing and write your love confessions on them.

    Get home before her and cut up a bunch of red and pink construction paper into confetti.....place a trail of paper leading to the bathroon and have her a hot bath drawn with lots of candles and then another trail to the bedroom where you can wait for her...you can place lots of "hint" cards along the way for her to read!


    Hope the few ideas have helped.....


    Most things are more romantic if you don't have to spend lots of money for them but...its all the thought you put into it that matters...with any of these she'll know you've been planning and I am sure it will place a smile on her face.


    Good Luck...


    Kalina...Wanna tissue...I'll share mine...I've no one to do any of the lovely things for me either.... *sniff sniff*

    Most blokes can't buy "pretty" lingerie. They usually buy slutty stuff, and usually have the wrong size.

    Then get the easy write icing and write your love confessions on them.

    What do you mean "Love Confessions"? Like how you secretly fancy her best friend? Or slept with her best friend?

    if you're officially off between you and a former ex but theres still the odd night of passion, do you think its expected or required to get a present/gift/card etc etc?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭Mighty_Mouse


    My problem is I seriously dislike valentines. Its such a commercial day invented only to rip people off. At least Easter and Christmas have some basis. !!!!

    But I'd wanna be a bad bastard to argue this 3 years in a row!!!:D

    So I'm gonna get some. Underwear seems the way forward!
    everybody wins !

    You posted this on Boards.ie DR and you didn't leave a mailing address. for shame!
    Get home before her and cut up a bunch of red and pink construction paper into confetti.....place a trail of paper leading to the bathroon and have her a hot bath drawn with lots of candles and then another trail to the bedroom where you can wait for her...you can place lots of "hint" cards along the way for her to read!

    Then when she gets to the end leave a hoover there with a hint "Clean up the mess!". :p

    roffle.

    I'm going for the candle lit dinner, wine, and a nice bath with candles and those nice bath balls you get from that really smelly shop at the top of nassau st.

    maybe some flowers, but it's a real ripoff around valentines, and the price is going to go up this year too!

    You sound like you're presenting her to cannibals...."serve her with champagne and strawberries and cream"??

    Although serving her as a meal, does get around the problem of actually having to buy her anything.

    hmmmm
