Okay taken-gents, time to put down those super-sized slurpees and cross of the WoW/Pron tabs: we've got work to do.
Now I, like many of you, have put of the arduous task of buying the missus her Christmas present until now. This was pretty much because I was unorganized/lazy, although I justified it to myself by saying 'Hey, maybe we'll break up before then. Don't want to jump the gun.'
Well, Christmas is next Saturday and barring some awful-yet-ultimately-financially-beneficial event that would see the end of my relationship before then, it's looking increasingly likely that I'm going to have to man-up and shell out some coin and worst of all, some thought.
However, it has dawned upon me that I'm probably not the only one in this extremely-unorganized-boat. In fact, there are probably hundreds of us on Bigfooty alone, plus thousands of other who have even gotten their shit together and brought their respective squeezes something worthwhile.
But here's the thing: while there are hundreds of different BigFooty-ites (or whatever) who each have unique relationships with women who are entitled to Christmas presents, there's no certainly no need for us all to buy unique gifts. In fact, I would argue doing so would not only be unneccesary, but foolish.
This thread is dedicated to coming up with say.... half a dozen, maybe 10.... different generic gifts that we could each throw the way of our sexier-halves next Saturday, safe in the knowledge that it will be her best friends boyfriend copping it for buying a hilariously inappropriate present when her and her mates have their 28th of December coffee.
It's the old 'I don't have to be able to outrun the bear, just able to outrun my buddy' scenario.
I'll get the ball started. Now, as a uni student who has only officially been seeing his girlfriend for 4 months, I'm not going to be looking to spend a ridiculous amount. So....
Chanel No. 5 - 75mL - $180.00 from Myer, so cheaper elsewhere.
Tips: Buy the medium sized one. She'll (correctly) think you're cheap if you get the small one and the bigger one is expensive. Plus, she mightn't even like it. But she will like that you've bought it for her.
Get it wrapped when you buy it. Buy a card. Write on it. Have drunken, bloated sex Christmas night.
