Gah! Why are women so damn difficult to buy presents for!

Postby ket on 22 Dec 2008 03:47

You won't belive this (ok maybe you will..) I've just spent something like the last 7 HOURS trying to find a christmas present for Nikki, I got one in the end.. but why does shopping for Baby Doll sets (as in those sexy nightware sorta things, NOT the toy baby dolls :p ) take so long!?! This is exactly why I don't even set foot in the Ann Summers shop...

LOL....a present for both of you :-bd I was going to get my wife a new motor for the boat then ask if I could borrow it. After careful consideration (and not really wanting a divorce), I went with stuff from Victoria's Secret. :mozilla_wink:

You know your steps very well, buddy. :salute: (I'd share the view taht it's a gift mostly for you, as it seems. :mozilla_wink: )

On the subject: Buying gifts for women, you mean difficult? It's an understatement. :D

lol Nikki will probably want to kill me when she sees what I got her.. cos she will know all too well it was the "heres a present for you but for me" factor. Sorta hoping I avoid most of the wrath because its french, and frilly... only a few more days to go and I'll find out. If nobody hears from me after christmas, call the police and tell them to start digging up the garden :p

If you, um, you do have to be dug up out of the garden, do you think you will be wearing said french frilly?

Victoria's Secret got me for a couple hundred dollars for two bras, pj set and some smelly stuff. A couple blouses and some lipstick and video games she likes went into her stocking (she bought a 4 footer this year so gotta try to fill it). Some slippers I ordered online are wrapped up under the tree (built in lights). Plus, a food processor she wanted.........I think that's it but it feels like I'm forgetting sumpin. Will have to wait till Christmas to update B-)

It's easy here since I only give to my daughter...money.
She probably makes more than I do. #-o
