Xmas gift ideas

[DZTT]

So I need some suggestions on an xmas gift for a girl. I've only known this chick for about 3 weeks but because of random circumstances we havent had a chance to meet in person yet. Regardless I know shes getting me something. Normally I could come up with something very easily but in this situation I'm having some difficulties. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

chicks always need appliances.. maybe a blender or a vacuum.

but in all seriousness, I would wait to get anything until you know her a bit better in the few weeks leading up to the holiday. Then you might have a better idea on what to get.

An appliance for someone you've never met? Yikes.

Do you know anything about this chick at all? Kinda hard to offer suggestions with how little information you've provided us.

It's difficult for us strangers to suggest you any gift because we don't know the girl. From experience, the typical gifts (blender, coffee maker, quilts etc.) will not do because they are not "thoughtful" enough. You should get her something that has something to do with her hobbies or interest or something you know she has wanted in a while. Try to get some clues from her and you should be set.

You've never met her? How about two tickets to someplace to go on a date? A concert, a broadway production, a rock gym, a party barge. What ever you think she'd be into.

Women look for sentemental thoughts in gifts. Being that you have only known her for about three weeks, it's kind of hard to do that. However, creativity falls in a close second.

This is also good for you too. If you get her something like that she'll have to schedule so "random circumstances" don't happen.

Ya well she's coming to my work xmas party this coming weekend so that should help me get a better idea of a sentemental gift. The random circumstances were a death in the family so it was out of both of our control for canceled plans.

heh

3 weeks, haven't met, and already worrying about a gift for her? This is going to end well....

Go to a novelty shop, buy something silly under 20 bucks, end.

agree with juan (no surprise there lately it seems)

spend no more than 20 and don't make it too personal because that can feel "stalk-y" to some...fuck sentiment, that can come when/if you know each other better.

[ryster]

I suppose it depends what your looking for. I thought the tickets/date idea was a great one, and nothing bad could come of it. And if its something you do together, you won't have to worry about wasting money.

Any idea about what she's getting you? I think Juan and Jesus are in the ballpark, but go to cheap and then it's bust if she got you something substantially nicer (then again, if she's that quick to attach and go all out, she probably wouldn't care about the present anyway). Certainly agree that something to expensive could seem too fast or intense if you don't even know her.

I think I would shoot for something that she would like but could do without (I know that logic seems a little backwards, but I'm talking figuratively). If you don't know her well enough to make that kind of judgment, go for something generic and cheap and make the main holiday present a date. That way you can get her something inexpensive and maybe kinda funny, but also get an opportunity to get to know her and interact on a closer, more intimate level.

Get her a rabbit.

Get her a rabbit.
Fail.

[kulotsalot]

Get her a bag of cookies.

When she eats the whole bag tell her you don't like her anymore because she is looking like a lardass.

Srsly, get her a scarf or something as impersonal, but I still don't get why you guys are getting each other gifts. :dunno:

[20YearOldVirgin]

Fail.



girls always like cute fluffy things, rabbits make great gifts...

:juan:

[kulotsalot]

Rabbits are definitely a fail. Don't get anyone a pet! I wouldn't even suggest a plant. Anything that needs maintenance is one more thing for her to do, and unless you're absolutely sure that she would want that, I wouldn't do it.

[ryster]

Yeah I mean, don't get anyone a pet unless they specifically ask for it.

It's extra work...extra responsibility. Especially something like a rabbit. You gotta clean the shit pile, replace bedding, steady and stable diet, etc etc. You've never even met her, odds are she's deathly allergic to rabbits and you just killed her.

I agree get something under 20 bucks....hell maybe a candle chicks love candles...just think everytime she lights it up she'll think of you.

[ryster]

I'm curious, how did this turn out?
