    €250 to €300 fcuking hell who are ya going out with, the Queen?

    Something simple like some jewellery.














    Or a 14'' monster dildo and a large tub of lube / butter

    Women like Castles, for €250 they might let you have a single room and then you can just sneak her in the window:

    Voucher for her favourite clothes store
    Voucher for beauticians/hairdressers
    And a bracelet or perfume


    All of this

    Nothing says 'I love you' more than waiting until 11.00pm on Christmas Eve before spining down to your local garage forecourt for some flowers

    K-Tel Bottle Cutters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭Lingua Franca


    You could get a nice city break somewhere for that amount.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    The cash


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,803 ✭✭✭El Siglo


    Dick in a box (a la The Lonely Island style).


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,172 ✭✭✭Ghost Buster


    You'll ge a nice weekend hotel break somewhere for that money AND you get to tag along (hopefully....)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade

    For €200 you could probably fly somewhere, stay in a nasty hotel & eat takeaways. Kinda stretches the definition of "nice city break" though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    I'm sure she'll be happy with the €250-€300 cash in her hand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    send her and a mate [of hers] on a pampering day at a spa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭Lingua Franca

    Yeah, but we're talking about a 300 euro budget here. And you can easily get a nice city break even at 200 euro.

    With 250 you can get a decent hotel room in Paris for 60 euro a night through a hotels website and you can get return flights to Paris in January for 57 a head. You worry about your spending money closer to the time.

    We got a 4* hotel room next to the Jardins de Trocodero for 45 euros a night from a website. You can get budget flights and great deals on hotels. All it takes is a bit of shopping around.

    Send her and her mate over to mine, I'll throw a few cucumbers on their eyes, moisturise their faces and file their nails while they soak in a nice warm bath, all for just €100 and you can say you bought them a pampering day with a spa!!! :p

    Rather than sending her and a friend to a SPA, why not book a weekend for the two of ye with dinner and spa treatments! Perfect!

    A pet monkey that is talented in the art of jewellery making. The gift that will keep on giving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,652 ✭✭✭fasttalkerchat


    My woman got a fone and perfume. That's the money gone until I graduate and find work so may as well splash out. Her Birthday is in may so she'll make do with reduced flowers from Tesco then!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    The finest vajazzling this side of the Mississippi.

    It just so happens I got my Online Vajazzle Degree last week, I'll make sure to look after her and keep you under your €300 budget (€299.95).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,943 ✭✭✭wonderfulname


    How about anything at all but a cliche?
    Preferably something you've thought about, related to her interests or likes perhaps, or something she frequently mentions wanting?

    It will be far more appreciated if she can see you thought about it.

    NOT these. I'd be disappointed if my boyfriend got me something really generic like a voucher and a bottle of perfume. It's so lazy and impersonal! I'd much rather he spent a tiny amount of money on me and put some thought into it.

    I like the idea of a weekend away somewhere for both of you, and then so she has something to actually open on the day, (this is something I was just recommending to someone else earlier!) you could get get her a picture frame like this and put various pictures of both of you, and her and her friends, her family, etc in it. It wouldn't cost much (you can get really cheap prints from www.photobox.ie - 6cent a print or something) and it would be something really special that she would love and have forever. You would get SUPER brownie points for something like that!
