Need a gift for that special lady in your life? I'm here to help.
Ask away..........
What should I get my wife?
What should I get his wife?
What should I get my mistress?
Should I get a wife for Christmas?
Will it really put my eye out?
Hmmmm, you're not giving me anything to go on but here's a stab in the dark.Quote:

I really like the ginger and gloomaway (horrible name but great grapefruit smell. It is called that because citrus is an uplifting fragrance and is supposed to combat depression).

Yes but what's life without a little risk now and then? Besides, you've got two. Chances are you'll only lose one.Quote:

See suggestion for wife. Will work equally well for both and when you come home smelling like the mistress you'll also smell like the wife.Quote:

One more: Chanel: No. 5 or Coco?
wife says she just wants her family to be around at christmas -- can you interpret the unspoken portion of this request?
cuz we want to just get her something and then go skiing
My kitty would tolerate wearing pajamas for about .00001 nanoseconds.Quote:

Ribbed or studded?
pretty sure the unspoken part is don't just get her something and then go skiing.Quote:

Has she worn either? Perfume can be so funny. I had a GF who wore "Calvin" back in the 80s. I fell in love with the scent and bought some for myself but alas it did not smell as good on me (body chemistry and all). I think those kinds of changes happen more with the deeper musky notes than lighter citrus/floral fragrances.Quote:

Coco is often said to be younger, sexier, more beguiling (Mysterious and provocative, a rich Oriental fragrance).
No. 5 is a base of rose and jasmine with a clean daring scent reminiscent of the pristine polar freshness. It is a classic. Chanel describes it as follows:
Created by Gabrielle Chanel to be the ultimate in femininity, N°5 has cast a spell on millions of women — and men — around the world. Inimitably luxurious and infinitely seductive, its legend lives, each year adding to its mystery, its depth, its desirability.
What winter pajamas offer both warm fuzzyness along with easy access for husbands? Hoodie/footie one pieces are bullshit.
And seconded on getting both the wife and mistress the same scented stuff. That's CYA 101 man.
What should i get my soon to be 17 yo daughter for her December Birthday? $20 or less.
Awwww, she'd trying to be coy and demonstrate how all she needs is love but let me tell you something.... there is nothing sadder than a tree without presents or a stocking not stuffed. In these cases what is needed is one really thoughtful gift. It doesn't have to be big. A small, well selected gift that really lets her know you understand and know her can pack a bigger punch than a big ticket item.Quote:

Maybe you could go into town where you live, have lunch/dinner and window shop along the way - see what she might be interested in then go back and get it. Those are the best presents - to know you were listening/paying attention/taking the time to care.
My wife is a wonderful anomaly for a woman. She rarely uses a cell phone, mostly for "I'll be late" or emergency calls. She has an old flip phone with a $100/yr pay as you go service that she never depletes before it expires. She "really" wants a smart phone to text & stuff, not that she she'll actually use it. (or she will use it too much until the novelty wears off and cost a fortune) Is there a smart phone & service you recommend that won't force me sign a contract and pay $50/month (or more) but gets decent connection service? I can't see paying $600+/yr for something she won't use.
Oh snap! That could be anything from beauty to clothes to electronics. Where do you live? Have big retailers close? Is it cold? Warm? Is she into sports? Horses? Help us out here!Quote:

She hates sports except for snowboarding. I live in VT. It gets pretty damn cold here sometimes. Define "Big" retailers. I can't afford for her to be into horses. I already know what to get, i just wanted to hear your answers.
Whoo boy... this is really reaching for me but I'll try and do some leg work for you. I will say that thought I would never text much until I got a smartphone and now I'd bet I text more than I call because that is what everyone else does so be prepared for her to become addicted to texting.Quote:

Tracfone has a smart phone plan that you put funds on, offers 3 buckets of usage- Talk, texting and data. They give either 90 days of service or there are tricks to be able to supersize a purchase of minutes from them directly and be offered 1 year of service for an extra $50...Quote:

KQ, what can a maggot, that has spent all his cash on ski trips, get the girl that has everything?
I only asked about big retailers because I was thinking along the lines of a GC - kinda impersonal but good for teens esp. if you pair it with a small token gift.Quote:

Given it is cold and where you live, unless she already has a pair I think boots would be nice:
'Wexley' Bootie
