    Folks i need to get my sister a present for her 40th Birthday. I need to get her something useless. When i was younger she bought me a christmas present of a quazer set. She was going on how great it was for months. She only bought me one gun and one headset so i was meant to sit there shooting myself all day. She also got me the completely wrong batteries!! SHe's a spa. It's revenge time!!


    Can anyone think of anything that you would need 2 of but that can be bought individually?

    If she lives in an apartment, a firelog.

    If not, a bottle of gas, make sure she has no use for it. Or 2 litres of ice cream, make sure to wrap it at least 3 hours befor you give it to her

    Wow! You really hold a grudge, don't you? :D

    Go for the classic - get her a bowling ball with your name on it. Or one walkie talkie.

    Seriously, how would you feel if you got a bag of coal for your 40th? From your own brother? That'd be a fairly crap and useless present me thinks!

    Find a low-cost airline operating in africa or asia, and book a one way flight from one random airport to another.

    Perhaps - http://www.royalbengalairline.com/

    Whiskeyman, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've been trying to remember what the thing was that you scanned barcodes with for months and every time I asked a friend if they remembered they looked at me like I was mental. Vindicated!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,898 ✭✭✭✭seanybiker


    Get her a book of baby names... at 40, that ship has pretty much sailed.

    What a pile of junk -
    I got one a year ago for a present from my gadget mad father and used it once..
    An ordinary brush would be cheaper, no energy costs, quicker and better.

    Couldn't a DS stylus be used if she has a PDA, I don't know, I don't own a DS but I thought most stylus' were universal.

    Get her Saved by the bell the new class it doesn't even play on Irish DVD players.

    Get her a mens electric razor.
    When she opens it, wink at her and say "you're welcome".

    get her a new head for her sweeping brush. make sure it's the wrong type, and that it won't fit.

    wrap it up nicely in a box and give her a big hug and whisper in her ear that it was really expensive but you knew she'd love it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Get her a cat.

    They're pretty fcukin useless. Plus it'll cost her money to maintain and feed, and it'll sh1t in her pillow case.*

    So she can go up north and buy a new TV?

    That's just insulting.

    It should be something like you can come over and keep saying how amazing it is, like a pink flamingo (garden ornament) and no garden. Or a door bell with "crazy frog" or other annoying 5min tune on it and install it, so every time it goes off just annoys her.

    a bible ??
