What will I get the missus??

LegacyUser

This is short, sweet and for a change, positive.... I want to buy my girlfriend something nice between €50-€400. Any suggestions???

EDIT:It could even be something I could do instead of get.

-She doesn't wear 'jewellery' as such, Only a Pandora bracelet.
-I want whatever i buy her to have some lasting memory or to be something you'd keep for a while or forever.

Boards posters usually have some great ideas for this stuff.

Girls - can you remember something he did/got you that made you really smile
Lads - Can you remember getting yourself into the goodbooks with some good idea

Appreciate all replies!

Mmm How thoughtful.... is this for a particular occasion or just to say I LOVE YOU?

My other half is very thoughtful, but can get it wrong sometimes. I generally don't like when he spends large amounts of cash on something, because I could usually put it to better use myself, or would of had him buy something else.

But he always has his heart in the right place.

He does romantic things like surprises me with dinner...
Impromptu flowers
Gets lots of smellies from boots and I get a bath, with candles, followed by foot rubs and a massage... MAJOR brownie points.
I got a fantastic watch one year, which I love and adore.
Other things - small insignificant gifts, but he listens and pays attention and will buy me a cup that I saw and liked, or a perfume, or book, notebook, plant pot.... just to let me know that he does PAY ATTENTION and those ickle things mean a lot more to me that anything expensive.


But again these are all personal things that I like, not necessarily for across the board.

I bet nearly all girls like these things more than expensive gifts.

The reason I wanted to spend some money is because I got paid a rake load in the last 3 weeks and she knows that. I want to share the riches if you will. She's away on holidays with the girls at the moment and I'd love to give her something when she gets back.

a night away in a posh hotel with you. Book her in for a spa treatment and when she arrives back to the room and have flowers and champagne ready for her. some candles lighting in the room would top off a lovely night!!!!!

Wow - I would love that. Sounds lovely and you should also get her something that means a lot.
I have a charm bracelet so my bf will sometimes pick out a charm for me. For example we just got the keys for our new house so he bought me a little key charm.
Also flowers and back rubs are always great.

Hotels close to Dublin - there are a few that would be worth considering,

Roganstown
Castelknock Country Club
Barberstown Castle
Carton House
Lutrellstown

I reckon you could spoil her rotten : pick her up in a limo, out to the hotel, nice dinner, back to the room run a hot bath, bring petals and smellies, candles, soak her the bath, back rub and whatever........ topped off with a nice pandora charm to REMEMBER and mark the occasion.

That ticks ALL boxes, it's romantic, its decadent, it's thoughtful and she gets to keep something to remember the day by!

Oh I am sooo excited... pLEASE let us know what you decided on ! :P

I'm sure you were kinda joking but it's probably a great present. Something you look at and remember who bought it and what was the occasion.

Unwilling

Soooooooooooo i'm dying to hear what you decided on in the end!!

I'm definitly going to book us into a hotel. The question is which one I need to know which hotel to go for. Some of the ones posted earlier looked a bit golfy for me but I dont mind really. Im going to go check around now. I'll definitely let you know exactly what I went for and if she liked it

I just booked us into A luuuurrrrvvvly Hotel In Dublin. We're staying at the Dylan hotel.

I'm thinking that Limo hire is workin out too expensive for what it is since we'd basically be going from her house to the hotel (into the city centre coming from north Dublin).

I picked up a few Pandora charms yesterday. I got one of a moneybag. Far from romantic but hopefully she'll get the humour of it.

Thanks for all the replies. I really got good info from you all. Thanks guys:)
