My girlfriend asked for something with owls on, costs less than a tenner.(, Mon 10 Dec 2012, 13:49, Reply)
I thought it might be funny to get her things with "owl" in the name. Like a tea towel etc, then I realised It wouldn't be funny so I thought about something else.

I bought the missus, in what I like to declare as a triumph of misogyny and male triumphalism, a sewing machine for her birthday a few years agoIt was one of those overlocker things, cost the best part of 200 nicker if memory serves. And I shelled out for a trip to Stratford to see Matilda with various lucrative romantic flourishes after TWL.

My Mother seems to be addicted to the shopping networks.Every Christmas and birthday I receive an even more useless present like Bluetooth handsfree kit for the car (My car has it all built in) a massive oil painting of masai warriors and other fairly useless offerings. I just don't have the heart to tell her not to bother

Only paid half cash - got the rest on a loanThe earnings were 'quite comfortable' but the bonuses were exteremely good. The opportunity wouldn't arise again though as we were using really cheap manufacturing in Bulgaria and Ukraine to make stuff for the UK. The eastern bloc's not so cheap now

Was for Panic At The Disco on their first UK tour, I wanted to surprise her and her brother with ticketsThey sold out near instantly, meaning I had to resort to eBay. She was thrilled with the tickets, but it turned out it was parents evening for her, meaning she couldn't go (we were both 17 at the time).
Fuck.

I spent £370 on a laptop for my wife for her birthday once.(I know the exact figure as I stumbled across the receipt last night) a few days later we split up. luckily this was still a few days before her birthday.
needless to say I had the last laugh.
I still use that lappy to this day and if it lasts another year it'll have lasted longer than my marriage.

i've paid for weekends away etc, but the thing there is that i get to enjoy them too, so am not sure it countsprobably on my dad; my brothers and i took him away for the weekend when he bought our flats, and that was about £750 each. but compared to what he gives us, fuck-all of course.
the ex's birthday present was about £300 last year. that's about it really.
alt: best - my dad pays for my christmas holiday, which is pretty fucking excellent. worst - nothing sticks out, but i hate it when you get generic thoughtless present, like handcream and bodywash or something.
can i also just say that i bought a really nice looking sandwich for lunch: artisan bread with pesto and mozzarella and evil tomatoes. as i opened it to surgically remove said tomatoes of death, i found a fucking curly black hair just coiled up on the mozzarella and looking at me. raaaaaank.
