Any last minute gift ideas for the women folk?

Well I thought it was going to be easy... alas its not.

First up we put a limit of $100 to spend on each of us, due to some quite hefty expendatures we made a month ago. I have gotten her some lotion stuff she likes at Victoria Secrets and some PJ's she pointed at that she wanted.

I'm only at $20. WTF do I get her.... ahhhh... it was so easy last year. She REALLY needs clothes, but like hell I'm gonna go pick that out, because we all know she will just hate it!

one eyed monster.

**Dirty_Ca$h** · 12-16-2004 03:41 PM

**Foos Girl** · 12-16-2004 03:56 PM

hmmmm.....how about a gift cert to a day spa for a massage.....you cant go wrong with a gift of pampering

interesting idea... Mrs. Foo

I think I looked into that some time ago... don't remember what came of it...

i need to do some x-mas shopping of my own if you'd like to get ideas. i'm thinking of heading to downtown portland. pioneer square, urban outfitters, etc. could be done tonight or after i get back from cali. tit's your call dude.

**Dirty_Ca$h** · 12-16-2004 04:19 PM

Welp looked into the spa scenario... and they are all well over $100... I'm talkin... 250+

She could get a 1/2 back wax for $50.... think I should get her that?

Kyle I dunno... I was at Lloyd Center all day today... and I'm sick. Not sure how much of this I can take... but I guess I can't do much from home.

**Wilafur** · 12-16-2004 04:34 PM

perhaps an IOU for a home cooked romantic dinner. redeemable at any time.

**Dirty_Ca$h** · 12-16-2004 04:41 PM

not a bad idea Wilafur... though she does get that fairly regularly... not as much as Mrs. Foo does apparently.

**canadian_driver** · 12-16-2004 05:21 PM

Dude....You said she needs clothes?...Is she a jeans kinda girl? I am sure she has a favorite pair if she does...and that favorite pair does start to get wore out after awhile...Find out her size or do like I did and took the old ones to the store with me and had the lady match em up exactly. Its always nice having a new pair of comfortable Jeans! just a thought. ...Good luck, Chris

Kim, is that a hint for foo or what

**fanuvbrak** · 12-17-2004 06:06 AM

i don't know how a bunch of strangers are going to help you out. the best gifts are the ones that require the giver to do some homework. you're the only one that knows what she likes and what she needs. but whatever it is, do your research and get the best one.

**millerracer** · 12-17-2004 07:00 AM

^^^^ yea.. I like this dude's idea.... do her homework for her... bwahahahahahahahaha

**Dirty_Ca$h** · 12-17-2004 07:07 AM

hahah, nice one miller. I appreciate all the comments so far.

Mrs. Foo I'll be awaiting your advice.

Monchichi8 : You are quite the genius. She IS a jeans kinda girl, and she does have a few pairs.... but I do know that they are old. This might require some more thinking....

needforspd : I'll have to check that site out.

**millerracer** · 12-17-2004 07:11 AM

you could always whip her up a nice batch of "baby batter"

'tis the seaon.....hehe

hahahaha....no Foo already has my shopping done...LoL....I am suprised!!!

Ok so Dirty..... DO NOT BUY HER CLOTHES!!....It just doesnt work.....girls need to try stuff on to see if they like it. I am gonna tell you what I came up with. I am gonna use some of angryswedes suggestion too.

How about you get her a few lil things and and make it like a christmas gift basket or like one of those places that wraps the stuff inside a big balloon filled with air. Ok So i googled " Vancouver Washington DaySpa"......came up with a lot of 60 minute massages for 60-75 dollars. If you dont want to do that get her a gift cert to get a manicure and a pedicure, get her a gift cert to maybe one of her favorite stores and a couple of CD's or maybe get a picture of you guys framed. So yeah you get the general idea make it kinda like a "gift basket"deal(just look up gift wrapping in your area) with the goodies you get her and the Pj's you got her.

This is all i could really come up with the limit you guys set....and it would be something that i would like to get in her case. Hope this helps Dirty
