Present Dilemea

mycroft

Right, it's my girlfriend's birthday today, and I've just spent far more than I planned on her birthday present. Like lots, meaning realistic I can't get her an amazing chrimbo present

Do I

A) Hid it and keep it as her chrimbo present and get her a different birthday present

give it to her now with the caveat that it's also part of her christmas present.

hide it
or dump her and get back together in jan

Birthday's more important. Give it now. Get batteries for it at Christmas.

Keep it and give it to her for christmas. Then get down to your nearest Marks and Spencers, in the ladies section near the jewelery they have the most amazing little trinket boxes, compacts and lipstick cases with pink diamantes on them for about 15 euro - but they look way more expensive. Select one and take it out of the packaging it comes in and re-wrap it in tissue paper. This will really dicky it up and look like you spent a lot of time and money on getting her something thoughtful and exclusive. Remember it is not the present but the thought that counts!!! And don't forget a nice card with something sweet and meaningful written in! I'm sure she won't expect two big presents with her birthday and christmas so close together.

Give it to her for her birthday, and if you know whats good for you, get her a christmas prezzie too!

Serously tho' a modest crimbo prezzie too, (perhaps a bottle of massage oil? eh?)

Doesn't need batteries. I went to agent provocateur and spent more on one set of knickers for her, then I've spent on underwear for myself this millennium*


*And before you crack wise I'm a change my boxers every day kinda guy

Amy ta for the tip, I have some DVD's might go to Lush and then pick up one of those boxed and give it to her.

hmm, that's a bit of a thorny onee, the old "who is the present of sekseh lawnzheray really for".

Bra for Chrimbo?

i know a bloke who used to get away with breaking up with his gf every bday, valentines, and most christmas's aswell. i dont think she ever copped on. she wasnt the brighest bulb in the toolbox though.

what about giving it to her now but not letting her open it till christmas? failing that id be more inclined to say wait til xmas, id consider xmas present more important than birthday.

What a thoughtful guy!! Bet she will LOVE it
Got any spare twin brothers hanging about
Give her the pressie for her birthday (as intended)and then get her a very little something for Christmas.
I think birthday is more special

That so isn't going to happen...... She who must be obeyed would not be happy and far too curious
