Cheap crimbo pressies

DonkeyRhubarb

This year, the other half and myself have decided to go cheap and then go on a short break in the new year.

We have set a pretty strict budget of 20e on each other for xmas, which in itself makes it a bit more fun in that its really not easy!

What would be your opinion on the best cheap (or even free!!!) xmas pressie?????

Indeed. All you need is condoms. (at about €3.50)
The only problem is that the pregnancy test costs something like €35, so you'd have to go all-in. Then you would have around €1.50 left to buy tissues when she does actually get pregnant.

Are you male or Female?

If Male, Spend alot more than €20. Or you can expect her NY resolution to involve a lack of Sex for you.

If Female, Don't be a Biatch. Get him a Hooker for a test. Make sure she has Aids. If he uses her you know you can't trust him. If he doesn't he's Gay.

Pighead

Before Pigheads grandfather died in 2001, he would put his favourite grandchild on his knee and pass on the wisdom that he had gained over the years.

"Pighead" he said, "there is a recession coming and in roughly eight years time, there will be people on message boards begging for ideas for cheap Christmas presents in order that they shall save a few shillings. Here's what you shall tell them."

Go down the field and pick a potato , if you have no access to a field, go to your local shop and but a bag of them for they are cheap and plentiful. Ideally, pick out a heart-shaped potato, much like this one: http://slwa.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/potato_heart_mutation.jpg

Next get a knife and scrape the word LOVE onto the potato by peeling off the skin to form the letters. And that's it. You can now present to your darling the "Potato of Love"
Cheap, cheerful and devastatingly romantic. Now get off my knee you little pup, it's time you went to work"

Naos

Spend more than the 20e on her.

You can be sure she'll get you something extra and saying something like "But we said it's just 20e", well, it just won't cut it.

"Oh no no.We'll only spend this on each other. Somethin small" quickly turns to "I CAN'T BELIEVE THATS ALL YOU GOT ME!!!!!"

You are supposed to suprise us by showing us how much you love us. But we can't tell you that, or it's not a suprise.

You're still thinking inside the box I'm afraid. It applies to everyday situations just as well. Don't ask her if she'd like a glass of water with dinner, give her a glass of water. This will show that you've anticipated her needs.

We're trying to fcuk with yer heads! seriously... you really wondered?

..and we make it so obvious.

Take the following as a rule for survival

I (the female) am always right, you will always be wrong.
Black is always white.
I am never tired or undesireable.
I never spend enough money on clothes
The house is never a pig sty
I do not suffer from pmt
My bum does not look big in this.
You always deserve to be punished.
You will pay for loving me for the rest of your life... sex is extra


Might have left a few out, the handbook our mothers give us goes on a bit
