    Wel she's into fashion quite a bit, Robbie Williams, not into sport. She's really one of those kinda general people.

    That's such a typical guys answer, it's her 18th I want to get her more than a voucher.

    Eh I've "Heard" of a porn film about a present a friend got a female for her 18th.


    Basically it was lots of men with Large Fishing Rods

    Not a bad idea at all! :D Except she'd kill me if I got her a parachute jump, when I mentioned that I'd like to do, she had that 'I'm never doing that' face. Flying lessons is a good idea though.

    How about a few of you get together and get her a weekend in Paris or Florence or something?

    Is it just me or do girls seem to be more content with such etheral presents than guys do?

    You never gave us a price range....


    Buy her a DVD. Something like the OC or whatever the hell you kids watch these days :rolleyes:

    Or like buy her 3 pints in the pub on her first legal visit. (Then again, that's something only fellas do)

    I haven't really decided yet, if I get a good idea of a present it might be worth spending a lot on, so I dunno.

    ya sure about that.....? I lived in Holland for a bit, and heard of a Dutch wife telling her American husband (bit of a thicko to be fair) that foreigners wouldn't get served in coffeeshops - that they asked for national ID! AND he believed it and hadn't been into a coffee shop in the 5 years or whatever he'd been there. Couldn't understand how we'd "managed" to get served.....
    Sounds like it's a dodgy law they've passed if this is true - it's bordering on racism.

    I got my friend €20. It was my 18th the next day, he gave me €10. That was nice of him.




  • Here's a suggestion, buy her a token gift, earings etc and make her something. Something that only you and her have a link to. I don't even know what, that's what makes it special, it's intimate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan

    That sounds like a good idea, it's definitely an option.

    I'm studying EU law, it sounds like you could be right kenmc. the area is free movements of goods etc. bit of an unclear case though warrants further discussion.

    Angel - bring ur mate out 4 a day's shopping on a prearranged budget, that way she'll get something she likes and it's not as impersonal as a voucher.
