Any suggestions folks?
I am sick of buying jewellery and crap clothes she never wears.

I have already bought:

13 pc chrome kit for her Mini Cooper
Clothes and other little bits.

Looking to spend another couple of hundred, so come on peeps what should it be.

I went out yesterday and bought my girlfriend a whole load of beauty products, mostly Clinique stuff which seems fairly cheap compared to other makes but still OK I hope.
You know the sort of cr*p that women like- waste of time skin revitalising products featuring all manner of made up vitamin complexes. All wrapped up in a nice gift box and with an S+M teddy bear thrown in for free- cost circa £200.
Should make nice stocking fillers I hope.

Perfume ? Not eau de toilette, but proper actual perfume. Expensive, but well worth it - lasts for ages and shows you know your onions, and you're not a cheapskate.

If you know what style she likes, go for shoes or boots you'd like to see her in - obviously FMBs, 6 inch stilettos, or anything S&M may not achieve the desired effect, so use your loaf, and make sure you keep the receipts. Go for neutral colours, preferably that will co-ordinate with her clothes.

Underwear is a good one, that you might also benefit from (although I'm not suggesting you wear it yourself), just make sure you buy something pretty and not sleazy. Visit a proper ladies' trollies shop, not the undies section of Asda, and check the sizes before you go shopping - underwear shop ladies may object to their chests being groped just so you can say "Yep, about THAT size" !! And remember, if she is a 'larger lady', up-the-crack micro-trollies might not be such a good idea.

Book her in at a proper salon to get her hair done.

Jewellery is usually a good one, but try some co-ordination - matching necklace, earrings, and bracelet.

You could also book a weekend away in a posh hotel that has a beauty salon built-in - she can pamper herself while you can sit in the bar/jacuzzi/golf course and then spend the rest of the weekend ********. Marvellous !

I've tried all of the above, and they work well, for a time at least.

Have a very happy Christmas !

Cheers folks, great post Tony, looking into the spa idea / weekend away idea.

Ok Telboy if you must know she is MAD into S+M











problem is, it's Shouting and Moaning



She is really into her car, new Mini Cooper. I have already bought the the Cooper Red Letter Day last year. I have also got the the internal chrome kit (£200 ).

Anyway the FANTASTIC news is that she has a bun in the oven, but it kinda rules out the lingerie / sporty ideas (esp the lingerie, i ain't spending ££ on something I won't get near for the next god knows how long). Again she has been really keen on taking up horse riding but not really possible now.

Some good posts so far, so keep em coming.

Shouting and moaning! Nice.


How about a ball-gag then?

Or some sound insulation for the bedroom?

Spa for the weekend? However, you've gotta be careful she doesnt think you're trying to imply that she's in need of beautification!!

I've always been wary of lingerie as a present for her - after all, its us blokes who benifit from it most isnt it !?

You could give her a card containing the link to this thread - I'm sure she'd love to know you had to ask

Maybe I'm just more in touch with my feminine side......?

Or maybe I just know what wimmin like ?

Or maybe I just know what wimmin like so they'll be 'dead derty' to me ?

p.s. Strange as it may seem, I am currently available for nudie prod games, who's bush etc., so any lady-sharks out there, email as per profile !!!

LOL!

WHen we were livign in our last house the neighbours came round to complain shortly after a good screaming session, apparently they could hear noises, when asked what noises they said "well, you know, oral noises" :O


I'm guess they meant screaming but I struggled to keep a straight face.

Present of the moment - GHD ceramic straighteners.... Already bought my other half a set

Still got to get some more stuff for her (especially after treating myself to a new home cinema system this morning!)

Get her a day of pampering at one of these health places, (Forest Mere is where I've booked my wife in a couple of times), she loves it, relaxing day, lots of celebs walking about.
