mjmooney Posted November 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2011 Same as ever - don't know. Not a **** clue. And probably still won't know on the morning of Xmas Eve. It's the one aspect of Xmas that I totally hate. (EDIT: That and the religious stuff, natch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have literally no money, so no one is getting anything, and they've all been informed of this. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreverentad Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yup I agree, Groupon is fantastic! Although I need to buy for the girlfriend that I will only have been seing for 2 and a bit months. I don't want her to think it is anything too serious and don't wanna spend a lot on her......

irreverentad Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 :| You don't really like her then? She is really nice. But I don't wanna wax £50 if either of us knock it on the head in January or February. Would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Good question... Personally, I'd probably pitch at around the £50 mark. Jewellery could be a bit too much though in fairness, perhaps something like some champagne, flowers and some love eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreverentad Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Nah they all wouldn't fit up there ;-) I was gonna get the inbetweeners box set for her. But what if she spends more on me?!! arrgh she is playing with my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 This is the problem, you don't want to be outdone. Imagine she goes nuts and gets you a pair of Ray-Bans or a nice watch?? I reckon you need to do a bit of research and get a feeling for roughly how much she's going to sink into your present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
