    I once got a gf a pair of jumpleads. She'd just got a new car.:)

    By the time I realised she wanted to be the one buying the jumpleads I'd been dumped, and back on the bus.:o

    Dunno is this can be considered romantic but my girlfriend had her iPod stolen, so I bought her a new one and I spent 3 days putting all her favourite songs onto it.

    This small golf set with a little green and club that she could play with while on the jacks.

    Nothing.. No partner :(

    I used to buy my mom, aunties and nan Boots' "Royal Jelly" bath/shower stuff - my nan always told me she loved it, so I always got it her. When she died, we cleared out her house. Found a whole cupboard, full from top to bottom, with Royal Jelly :o, not even opened... what a waste!

    But the year she died I found a photo taken the year before with the whole family - nan, aunts, uncles, cousins. Got it enlarged and bought a few nice frames. That's the closest I've got to a nice, thoughtful gift :)

    Never had the chance for a romantic one :(

    A bowling ball with "ScienceNerd" carved into it and my finger sizes drilled.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I was just about to discuss your penchant for buying female family members 'royal jelly'. Can't now after reading the rest of the post. Good lad, you've played the death card to perfection.

    You can buy me some shower gel if you want xxxxxxxxxx

    that sounds like something that'd definitely get you some anal.

    A wearable pair of third century Roman ear rings. A picture made up of all our early dates photos, cinema tickets, receipts and all that guff.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Anal is disgusting. I don't see why would want to put their penises up there. Vagina is fine.

    Awhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You romantic swine.

    I eh..
    I always spend way to much money when I'm with people,
    I bought my ex the new Lamb of God DVD for his birthday,
    it made the hairs on his entire body stand up.
    I never actually had that effect, wanker.

    Lets see, my boyfriend is a sports fanatic so,

    A new (quite expensive) Driver for his golf set,
    A weights bench,
    Marion Kart Wii,
    Tickets to an Arsenal match (where they hammered Rangers!)
    A hotel weekend drinking break,
    And a heir made in his image!
    And its nearly xmas again!

    While the whole of AH supports your moral stance, some of us have money on this.

    Vodka & Coke.

    do EX partners count - lol

    while together during a weekend away herself (at the time) spotted a lovely painting which she expressed an interest in.

    couple of weeks later ...relationship ended .... couple of weeks after that ... I drove from Dublin to Galway and back in the same day - to buy her said painting and duely presented it to her as a christmas pressie.

    little over 3yrs later - visited her house and the painting is proudly up in the livingroom.

    note: had no contact for almost 3yrs...she contacted recently on facebook.

    The most romantic present according to my wife are the ones where I panic and just go mental with the credit card as I tend to buy the first thing I think is right and I'm usualy spot on. Like a trip to new york, she really wanted one and I was oblivious until about 2 days before christmas and it just poped into my head to get a trip away.

    Would that be the fabled Christmas bottle of Jameson that just keeps on giving?

    Nor do I see any reason for you to rectify this stance SS.

    "rectify" and "stance" are two duurty words if used in the wrong context.

    "sharpshooter" on the other hand openly denotes a cowboy/mod.:P

    No. It was the bottle accompanied with a "don't you dare try and drink it in one go again you idiot tosser" warning thrown in.
