    My girlfriends birthday is approaching in a few months and i want to get her something special. were going out for 2 and a half years, at my 21st last year she spent 1100euro on me (man utd v man city game with 3nites accom) so im obviously aiming to spend that on her. now before you say your ideas she doesn't wear jewelry. i had an idea of 5 nites in paris and a minature yorkshire terrier?? i would love to hear some ideas.

    SO STEP IN MY SHOES. YOUR A 22 YEAR OLD MAN WITH A BUDGET OF €1000-1200. what would you buy her???

    What about a 3night break in Manchester along with tickets for a Man U v Man City game? She definitely wouldn't be expecting that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 seaniegav


    a baby would be a shock...for me too! nothing springs to mind idea wise???

    How about Las Vegas or New York?

    Hire a Mustang and go see the Grand Canyon :)

    TourAmerica always have some really cracking deals:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭ART6


    She spent €1,100 on you? Oh man, you are in deep s**t. Decision time. Commit or emigrate;)

    Whatever you do, get her a bottle of this too, only 27 spuds at the min and much, much nicer than Moet or any of it's other rivals.

    In O'Briens it comes in a gold foil type wrapper and looks pretty cool as a present.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,284 ✭✭✭bonzodog2


    I don't know how much they cost or where to enquire, but I'll throw this out there:
    Hot-air balloon ride
    Parachute jump

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 seaniegav

    Paris is a bit of a rip-off. You'd be better going somewhere cheaper and more original, and with whatever money left-over give it to her to go shopping and blow it on whatever shes in to. It will make the trip more enjoyable for her anyway.

    Berlin is a really good spot.

    Know a few couples who have got all in weekend deals to New York for €495 PP with them.

    However, you don't need to go with them.

    GoHop have deals also:

    http://www.gohop.ie/2828/American-Holidays/New-York-Winter-Break-3-or-4-nights/holiday.html

    Might push the budget, but you can just live on Hot Dogs and stroll around Central Park :)

    I don't know weather you're taking the piss or what?

    Venice is a great city.
    See here.
    It gets number one for a romantic break and great reviews every where else, too.

    Yeah, it's my personal favorite bubbly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,658 ✭✭✭Milly33


    I know I am butting in here a bit late sorry'd but it doesnt have to be all about spending as much or more than she spent on you (unless she is extremly that way) tis just silly she might have decided to just treat you that time or was thinking early ahead of time which is quite clever of her...

    What kinda stuff is she into or what places
