This is aimed at all the fellas who are in the process of deciding (or not yet decided most likely!) what to get the lovely lady for Christmas  :D

Basically, the below website offers tonnes of perfumes, skin care and hair care products and make up (top brands such as Clinique, Benefit etc.) for MUCH less than the likes of Boots.  (Used it before its legit by the way and also offers 8% cash back on online purchases!)

Can get some really nice stuff and with everyone a bit hard up for cash, save a few pennies!  Just thought it was worth mentioning as I'm sure several are at least planning on buying perfume this Xmas.

What's wrong with a new iron?  :D

Nothing if you're looking for divorce!

Ironing board ok then presumably? (and I am serious)

How about a new microwave,then ?!

I've just bought a new iron and microwave for what its worth.

I'm not going to buy anything this Christmas.

does it sell rampant rabbits?

I worked with a guy once who bought his wife a new dustbin as one of her Xmas presents

So over rated

You can actually buy an ironing board that has a seat

I wonder how many men split with their misses a month before Christmas and then get back with them in the new year? It's far more convienent than searching buying a present.

I've got the wife a day at one of those professional photoshoot dealies and a few bits and bobs, mainly cos it will get rid of her for a day.

That's the spirit

Any bloke who thinks they've found their women the perfect present is delusional, as it will always be the wrong present. Buying presents for a women is about one thing, and one thing only, damage limitation. No matter what you buy you will end up in trouble and its all about limiting the amount of trouble you're in.

The safest option is to get a list and stick to it. Don't use your imagination, buy exactly what is on the list. That way all you'll get a bollocking for is not using your imagination, the fallout from which does not normally last too long.

Remember guys - DAMAGE LIMITATION.

I still think my idea is better.

There are 41 days until Christmas, why worry about it now?

Be safe...buy nice chocy...if they dont like it you can eat it.

Who said ware worried...ware debating the subject Sie.

Some chopping boards and baking trays is what mine will be getting......

Might get her another cookbook or two as well...... :D

I'll rephrase:

"why think about it now?"

Which will open up the "you think I eat too much chocolate and I'm fat don't you" line of interrogation.

Fail.

Also, do the same thing around Valentine's day.

Yeah...but you cant eat irons or ironing boards so if you fail....do it to the benefit of your stomach.

This is the single most 100% correct thing you've ever posted. Last year I managed a 100% clean sweep of every thing I bought for both Christmas and birthday being completely unwanted. I usually manage to miss on one or two but to get a total wipeout like that was really rather impressive, even for me. Top of the list was the "bought on a whim, oooh she'll like that" luxury hot chocolate making kit. "Why would you buy me that? When have you ever seen me drink hot chocolate?" "Erm, I thought it was just because you didn't have any and, well, now you do". Stunned silence. From both of us.

Get her a teasmade this year Paul!

Incidentally, how the fuck are we supposed to know what to buy our loved one from that site?

It's like sending my good lady into Machine Mart and saying "get me some good tools". She would come back with a pair of bolt cutters, a few welding rods, half a dozen rivets and a safety helmet.

Sheesh.

PS perhaps you could start a part time consultancy business Luci, advising husbands and partners on what might be "quite a good idea for Christmas from the smelly web site". Just an idea like.

Seen it. 4x4 version.

Why the fuck would you want to buy your wife a present. She came up trumps when she got married so bollocks. If she's lucky I might not have 10 pints and a vindy- athough this makes me ireesistable. Fucking hell, has the world gone all soft - metrosexual my bumhole. What a fucking gay old wordld we live in.

 :D

Marry me

Fuck off, I'm taken and she's a lucky bitch as i'm such a catch.

I would give up tomatoes for you.

G'wan.

In a totally free market without politics of any kind you should be able to give them up for yourself, not for the benefit of any other individual - no matter how attractive.

In a free market I would get them cheaper and then decide that you weren't worth it.

Bitch

This post made me laugh becuase it's what I was thinking, though I think someone's just excited about Christmas and Christmas shopping. A lot of people are already looking forward to Christmas, we're not even into Advent yet!

I'll let them get on with it, but if I read a Christmas comment or someone says something to me about Christmas I'm going to act like Scrooge. Humbug.

:)

Fully agree. Last night when I went to get my tea in the local chip shop, they had the radio on, and on came a Christmas song. FFS, there's 6 weeks still to go !!

 :eek:

Your a student Dave, you should be getting your end away with a different bird every night and making monthly visits to the clap clinic.

Thats the spirit! :)

i've done most of my shopping, the presents that have so far been purchased are wrapped up and ready to be shipped, i've been munching on freshly baked mince pies today and i'm more excited about christmas than i have been for years :)

it struck me how close it is, as soon as the coca cola advert comes on you know its time!

The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming..

FUCK OFF

I bought my GF's presents online today. A camera, case and memory stick. Sorted.

Some of you are so good, others not!

In reply to Alans post, it was posted since some women are specific in terms of brands, perfumes etc and the web makes things significantly easier to find if you have the name of the product!

Sonic is the most organised, mega impressed!

Got to have a sherry to be christmasfied.

Totally !


I can remember the first year I was single again drinking a bottle of sherry before dinner then passing out ................. I seem to recall Si Pie being there at some stage

Luci we could set up a business helping men shop for Xmas! we would make a fortune!

Men - If In doubt buy Uggs! they are the quickest way to a girls heart! ;)

god youre so 2008

your so 2000 and late! ;)

We are not buying Christmas presents, if anyone in the house needs anything they get it (normally) throughout the year.

Why pay fortunes in November/December when you can buy items 75% cheaper in January anyway?
For those romantic at heart and are planning a  surprised romantic city break the prices go up this time of year, give them the brochure and the destination for Christmas and tell them the tickets wll be here in three weeks


Lastly what is a UGG?

a Boot!!

You need a better woman.

Take mine, for example. She is lazy, likes computer games, loves smoking weed, doesn't dress/wash at the weekends, tells me when I've pissed her off and lets me know exactly what she wants for christmas/birthdays.

The only downside that I can think of is that she doesn't do my washing/ironing/cooking/cleaning but I'll have to let her off that because we don't live together (yet another plus point.)

Aussie trash....buy Doc Martins.

Seems like Xmas has come so fast this year!

If any of the guys are interest in buying Uggs for their Lady, This website currently has them for upto £65 % off retail value -> http://www.australianuggsuk.com/

If you're looking at buying a Wii or PS3 for yourself or the kids Sainsburys current has Wii's for £135 and PS3's for £199

I got to admit, I used this site today after Luci posted the link.  :-[

Had to buy the future wife some Gucci Perfume. (She didn't tell me which one she wanted, so it's pot luck)

Eeuuggghhh! You should definitely get her some perfume then :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that statement a tad disturbing!!! I can't imagine not washing for a whole day!! 

and you go down on her? fuck that its bad enough when they smell of piss after a night on the town.

Grow up you fucking pussies. Of course I go down on her, sometimes during blob week.

jambo

No pressies in the house of B.R. My little girl will likely get some pressies when she is a bit older but the wife and I ain't bothered.

Instead, however, we shall be using the money for a trip to Koh Samet. Christmas in Thailand rocks.

Uggs look like "special" shoes

But they are sooooooo comfy!!! Boys you should try some!men in Uggs = muggs!!

Men in Uggs = queer.

my feet are cold. I'd give them a go now.

Ben you would love the sheepy soft warmyness

Yeah but I'd also love to kick a sheep to death before sticking my feet in it's still warm fluffy flesh.

I'm just strange.

Homemade Uggs would be a really thoughtful Xmas gift!

Hero.

I'm surprised nobody has pointed out the superfluous apostrophe

Or the missing one ?

I never miss apostrophes!
