Christmas presents

    Looking for some help from the Boardies, but it is kind of strange.

    I'm the type of person who hates people asking me what I'd like as a Christmas/birthday present. I always have. I find it difficult to ask people to spend money in me, but they insist.

    So this brings me to my predicament. My gf wants me to give her a list of the things she could give me for Christmas, and she'll surprise me with one of them. Great, except that I can't think of anything I'd like. Anything I'd like I'd buy for myself.

    Could the great Boardies out there possibly suggest a couple of things my gf could buy me?

    Requirements :
    It needs to be reasonably cheap (<€30).
    No alcohol, tobacco, illegal narcotics and non-adult orientated.

    Any suggestions gratefully appreciated

    Give her a little wink at the end......

    As mentioned a Chromecast is a good idea, nice lil gadget, cheap and cheerful

    A years subscription to Netflix would be a cool present - it is my first source of contact when I am bored and always seem to find something to watch.

    Similarly a Spotify Premium account would be great if you love music.

    National Geographic Subscription for a year - you can get this for only €7.50 on Tesco clubcard and fabulous value for money.

    Zoo membership - I would personally love this, but maybe not for everyone :)

    Get her to buy you €30.00 worth of Old Spice aftershave, you'll smell like a real alpha male every day next year...........



    .........that or €30 worth of selection boxes


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭cruais


    Not putting a downer on things but.........

    If you really don't know what you want, or if you really don't want people buying you things, ask them to make a donation on your behalf to a homeless charity

    Failing that.... ticket to a gig!

    Amazon vouchers then you have a world of choice. Which considering you are no good at choosing things would torture you so then you could just pass them on to me and make yourself happy.

    Tell her that if she can't think of anything she should make you something that reflects how important you are to her.
    I bet she'll think of something to buy you then.
