the prezzy enigma....
« on: 10 October 2009, 11:14:07 »
....seems to be getting more complex each year amongst our female friends it seems to me.

What exactly is acceptable for a xmas present for the laidys?

 For some reason any kitchen related product is frowned upon it would seem, EVEN THOUGH interest may well have been expressed in exactly that, be it indirectly or otherwise.

Seems to me a vast differance in what one wants and or needs between men and women. If i need something, usually for our cars  garage or garden, i'm told i cant have it now, i can have it for xmas....!

Ok fine, doesnt work the other way though does it!

Why is this so ?.

Mrs. KW tells me that if I ever buy her a foot spa she'll leave. So that's my exit strategy ready. [smiley=evil.gif]

Got away with a hostess tray last year. :D

What's it to be this year? ::)

Exactly. Although, if someone bought me one of these for Christmas I wouldn't grumble. [smiley=evil.gif]

Spanner set ready for no 4? Like it, thats planning mate. Good work. ;D

I mean, what use is a diamod ring or a pearl neckless(leave it) or a bottle of "pah fam"by some french bloke? Complete waste of money. It doesnt do anything, no use what so ever.....:-)

Rather than try & guess (you know you'll only get it wrong anyway), why not just ask her what she wants?

Failing that, letting them have the plastic for a day always works.
