Topic awaiting preservation: Girlfriend's birthday

There is this lady I have been dating for 3 months.
Apparently in two weeks time it will be her birthday and i haven't the slightest idea of what to give her.
Could you guys shoot some of those *bright* ideas towards my direction.

~~To the all the beutiful gals in the Asylum...what gift would blow you away....noting that most of the guys here have holes in their pockets..~~

NB. I know this will help a number of guys in here

~Sig coming soon~

All depends what kind of girl/woman she is, age, demographics. One other very important factor is how much you got to spend.

i hafta agree with ramasax there, it really depends on all that stuff.

i like kinda wacky gifts. like....a cotton candy maker. (no, i don't have one of those yet... it's on my christmas list).

if she's into reading.....get her a book. a gift certificate to a day spa maybe. candles are always winners with me, as is, anything that the gift giver made themselves. i'm also a huge sucker for the mushy stuff too (romantic dinner followed by a hot bath and massage and then gettin freaky). videos/dvds/cds are good too. jewelery is good...but not for limited budgets.

i dunno that any of that stuff would 'blow her away' but, i think that as long as there's thought put into whatever you're getting for her, she should love it.

If you are not to the 'gettin freaky' level as Lacuna suggested, a nice dinner followed by a symphony would be a good alternative.

You've been dating this person for 3 months. I don't care how much you think you're in love or lust or how much you know you're in love or lust, TRY to put things into A THREE MONTH perspective. Give her your trust. Give her respect, a few sunrises and a card would be nice too. If you're still seeing her a year from now do it all over again.

Give her an engagement ring.

Ditto to NoJive's post...

Not much else to add, except to say that I'm absolutely heart-broken that binary has another love in his life. Three months? That means it happened during my hiatus... I knew I never should have left.

You can never go wrong with a basket of porn.

And where is the person who stabs Synax when he makes an off-color comment like that? You know if it was someone else, he'd be bloodyin' up the place...

For a girl you've been dating for 3 months, take her to a movie and a nice (but not overly expensive) dinner... Get her a card and a couple of longstem roses. She'll be tickled pink over it. Oh wait - no! Get her a card and three longstem roses: one for each month you've been seeing her. She'll be bowled over by your grasp of the symbolism...

I have some links to some very strange sex toys although they aren't suitable for the Asylum (I think Suho sent them to me) but I can email them to you .

*Lacuna,Ramasax and Bodhi23*....hey thanks...i really liked the idea of three roses...


*Nojive*...wooow...what's with all the hating....i think there is a story in there...let it go..let it all go..dont leave it locked up in there, it could explode wen least expeted


~For the rest of ya go suck Suho's $%*@~

~Sig coming soon~

binary: It's not hating, he's just saying don't go overboard (you did say "what gift would blow you away"). I think she'll appreciate sincerity more than anything else.

I don't want them! All I ever wanted was you! *sob*

I guess it's time to move on now, though. I'll never forget you, binary...

Emps: Oh, dang, I just read your post. I can't believe you're trying to pass that crap off on me. You were the one running around waving Thor with both hands...

*stabs bodhi23 for the suggestion of stabbage*

*stabs Skaarjj for the stabbage*

That's right be-hotches! When I'm not around for the stabbin's, I gots my back-up stabbers!

Might I just reiterate the stupidity of this question?

You know her - we don't.

THe things that have been mentioned in this thread are all very generic, simple, ituitive things - if you hadn't thought of any of them your self, or if you don't know her well enough to know if she'll enjoy any of these things, then....how are a bunch of strangers uspposed to help?

And there's no need to be a dick just because you didn't like some of the responses....

How about a nice t-shirt.

You want to make an impression and it should be a good one too?
So here are some easy unordered rules to follow
-Surprise her (eg pick her up after school/work and take her out or gather all your friends for a big party).
-Know what she is interested in (she likes this or that band/movie/sport get tickets for band/movie or sport).
-Make her feel special (this is the most important one!!)
-Make sure you look good (it's not realy a special day in your old clothes....)
-Be original !!!!

Gifts suggestions:
-Beautyfull flowers, can't realy go wrong here .
-Something to symbolize your love like a nice (big) card.
-Ticket from favourite band
-A framed/enlarged picture with the both off you.
-A little bottle delicate parfum (ask some good advice here).
-A self-made giftcertificate where you promis to walk her dog/do the garden/help with homework/etc.
-A hanger with your names on it.

No rings no expensive jewelries

yeah, what DL said. then again, a very nice dinner would do the trick. and a symphony concert would be great too. that is, if you like that kind of thing. perfect evening for me.

Now, if you lived closer to me, I could come and serenade during a nice private dinner. Done it before, it worked great for them

Later,

~Binary is best~

I am a dude and like to give gifts to women that are more than a "present" but an experience. dinner and a concert sounds great. dinner and watching the sunset. dinner and a walk near a river or coastline, or watching the skyline of whatever city/town you live in. . . . best part is that it can be free. I love music and like to share thatr with my dates. I took a girl to dinner then a jazz club and we sat at a candlelit cocktail table listening to the music and talking. ordering the occassional drink. wasnt too expensive. it was great.

let us know how it works out.

CRO8 :- sure, will do that.

PS. *what a nice couple Suho and DL would make....let's all raise our glasses....*

~Sig coming soon~

binary: Um, I don't think so. DL's not exactly my type. Great guy, but just not my type. Don't worry, I'll still be waiting for you when you get done with this little fling of yours.

Unknown Comic: OK, you're overdue for your shock treatment and I just got my new cattle prod.

That's ok Suho....I'll get over it...

Now binary, does your girlfriend know you spend your time fantasizing about two other men?

Might change the dynamics of the relationship a little

3 months? Mahjqa offered the perfect solution (even if it was just his sig).

My friend's birthday is in a little over 2 weeks... i brought him Oakley... you can't go wrong with Oakley.

yeah, if you're made of blang...

here in Puerto Rico we have the big radio telescope and you can buy stars for around $5-$10 and name them... why not find a local observatory and name a star after her, or after the both of you...

... tell her that you'll 'be together forever' or some junk... they eat that right up..(prays girlfriend don't seen this thread)...

what does she like? what is she into? how old is she? what useless trinkets does she have an affinity for?

I think my sister nailed it- "get guys something they can use, get girls something they can look at"

what about a big monkey?

Give her a Potateo there much better than roses.

Or perhaps pictures of binary naked and being 'probed' by tentacles?? I hear all the ladies are into that kind of thing this year.

That new cattle prod looks suspiciously like an electric eel but given UC's obessesion with tentacle porn perhaps he might enjoy it

eugh....

It's a fascination of the unknown... I cant surf for it because, well, ... I'm scared...
unfortunately I now have only my imagination to go on...

And, I might add... I never even wondered about that absurdity until YOU PEOPLE brought it up. I live in America and as part of the huddled masses I have no free will. I am susceptible to the not so subtle, and persistent bombardment of the establishments point of view... hmmm I'll bet DOC and EMP are Knights of Malta higher ups and they are doing their parts to poison the innocence of the rest of us.


OH and as for the gift thing:
Chicks dig stuff you make...

You could draw a monkey with a potato in one hand, a flower in the other, and paste it into a naked picture of yourself and tentacle porn.

I can't speak for the Doc but I am the closest thing you'll find to an expert on tentacle porn around these parts

I also agree with Micahel - the idea of the monkey with the potato sounds like a winner.

Anything with monkeys would work - a monkey washing a cat or someone eating a dead one but we never did get to the urmmm bottom of that one

Ahh yes.... a monkey washing a cat can certainly be incorperated somewhere in here.... it's a must.

Yeah, they shipped me the wrong one. I specifically asked for the Thor model, and they sent me this. It'll have to do in the meantime, I suppose.

Aw, isn't that cute... he thinks he can close the topic by just typing "topic closed."

No need to lie like that suho....

OK, fine, so it's lust. But "love" just sounded so much nicer. Couldn't just leave me to my fantasies, could you...
