    K guys since ye're talking about this.. I need an idea for my boyfriend. His "surprise" was GTA: San Andreas & The Office Complete Box Set. The surprise has been spoiled coz i can't bloody lie & when we saw an ad for The Office a few days ago, he saw the sneaky smile on my face & guessed..

    I wanna spend about 30 on a little surprise with the game (coz i'm giving him money towards his gym membership).. Plz plz, have ye any ideas??

    *no smart ass answers wanted*!!

    Get him a screwdriver set. I don't any bloke that wishes they had a tool box (no pun) every month or two when something that needs doing pops up.

    Any time I go to open my PC i'm cursing the whereabouts of my screwdrivers...simple and yet useful..


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo

    My folks gave me cash which promptly went towards my girlfriends pressie - which i cant talk about because she spends her time bored in work browsing these pages...oh i'm on to you MiniMcGee!!

    Good enough idea but i just can't see him liking it. Think he has some old set that he always messes with when he's opening up computers etc.. And he's not really a DIY guy at home!

    im getting an IRIVER H140(arrived today :D), some cd's and some film books, my birthday is 2 weeks after christmas, so presents will be divided between both dates

    The parents give me cash in the middle of December which I then use to buy everyone elses presents. It's great fun, and my girlfriend acts as my Santa 'cos she buys me loads of stuff and then wraps it and puts it under my tree and I do the same for her - 'tis brilliant! I think buying the presents is more fun though, I got great ones for everyone this year!

    Anyway, so far I have gotten the following from my mates (and embee, my brilliant Secret Santa):

    Scarface: Collectors Edition
    Along Came Polly
    Vertigo
    The Girl Next Door

    And me and the brothers went 3 ways on a DVD home cinema kit so it all goes together nicely.

    Merry Christmas everyone!!!
