    Girls like the spa idea but a voucher isn't something you can use on Christmas day like. A voucher is alright as a side present.

    No idea if I should get the fecker anything tbh.
    What do you think?

    I said I'd get him a ps3, because we didn't have money for him to get one when Skyrim came out.
    Our tv didn't have the right plugs or something for a ps3, so we'd need to get a new tv too.
    But on the 11th of November, off he went and bought himself a ps3, big lcd tv, and skyrim.

    We didn't have the money for it at all like!!
    Anyway, now seeing as he has bought himself his christmas present from me, I'm thinking I just shouldn't get him anything.

    Was going to get her a medium format film camera but then she dumped my ass so now I get to spend all the money on a super-awesome present for me. Shopping makes everything better.

    Sort out the whole him spending money that should have been there for both of you any time other than christmas! Get him a present ofc! Just get what you can afford.

    Do you not think it just ruins the idea of present giving if you both know what you're getting. You may as well buy your own presents.
