Gotta get an anniversary gift!!

Bucketman

Ok so my lady friend and I's anniversary this weekend, and I got her Spore, because she said she wanted it, I was gonna get her some flowers as well. Great, gonna take her out for a fancy dinner, things would be pretty nice.

Then I found out what she got me. A Xbox 360, with 2 controllers and 2 games. Well fuck, I got her a $50 game, and I know its not about the money, its the thought, but I don't want to look cheap.

So quick Wubble Woo, whats a gift under $100 I can get my sweetheart thats appropriate and designed for a lady of delicate(terrible) taste.

Oh and its our 3 year anniversary so its sort of a big deal.

Buy her back the three years she has wasted on you.

Excellent advice in this thread.

Inappropriate groping at the fancy meal.

I am buying this for my girlfriend for her birthday. it is apparently a super awesome gift. I do not understand these but I'm told it is. A girl at work told me that she cried she was so happy when she got this exact thing.

Dude those things are amazing.....i'm the one who cooks, she can't cook soup.

how about a really nice headset for when she plays Wow with her secret boyfriends? I know hers is shitty, but is that a nice gift? I mean, can you get a girl something like that?

Macro9

Give her a picture of me and play Something I Can Never Have on the radio while she looks at it.

Are you drinking Trent? or was that sentence suppose to be appearently missing words?

Krentz

Dick in a box

Thought that was obvious

trentsteel

Whoa, it's missing the word 'hated'.

Jedoc

Did you see Burn After Reading? Did you see the chair?

C'mon.

OmegaTofuNinja

Is there a moment when Trent hasn't been drinking?

Bad-Beat

Tampons. It shows you notice her as a woman and it is also practical. I'm sure they offer discounts for buying in bulk too so good economy. Also perfect for drink spillage too.

Seph

a nice new blanket?

ya could break it in

Jedoc

Honestly, though. If the two of you partake, really good booze fulfills all the requirements of a thoughtful gift. It's not something she would buy herself in the normal course of things, it feels special, it's something you can do together, and it's one of the few gifts that's guaranteed to cause at least mild euphoria.

Do some research, find out what the most highly-regarded wine (or whiskey or whatever, depending on her taste) in your price bracket is and find a bottle. It'll be fun.

If she or you doesn't like to drink, uh...I bet you could buy a really impressive wad of Silly Putty for a hundred bucks. That'd be good times, right? Giant Silly Putty?

Butters

A slap in the god damn mouth. She should be happy to get it too.

the cheat

how about the spore collector's edition, fool.

those kitchenaid mixers are delicious, i'm gonna try to score one sometime from microsoft's live search games.

Belruel

get her a ring, you can get a nice ish one for under 100 bucks if you know where to shop for it, and it is something she can wear all the time. it also has the advantage of being a sentimental gift, which can help make up the gap between the 360 and what you got her.

also happy anniversary! it was laurrie and my anniversary 2 days ago, we're going to disneyland tomorrow

Jordyn

God, Ben and I don't even try to do fancy shit for anniversaries anymore.

I think for the last one we went to a movie? I don't fucking know.

I know for Valentine's Day we got pho and watched Jurassic Park.

Seph

that's because the magic is dead

and so are you

on the inside...

Jordyn

When Ben got his new job, we went and bought a tub of Moon Sand and played with it for hours while watching Jurassic Park.

Belruel

also, a place that my boyfriend and i often shop at for annversary presents is Things Remembered, a shop found in a lot of malls, you can find many very pretty things there that all lend themselves well to being engraved (they do that there too for you, only takes them an hour or so)

i bought my boy a pocketwatch and had it personalized with his initials one year, and he has bought me a bracelet one year that has our initials on the front, and on the back of the heart it has our anniversary date (i am wearing it right now actually)

or you could buy her a music box, you can find them for decent prices online, varying types (i have a purple one like the one i linked there that plays 'all i ask of you', the gift carson gave me last year) (also that type of music box can be found all over the internet if you search for 'italian music box')

so be creative, be thoughtful, and the price won't even matter if the sentiment is there

i think for our anniversary i'm getting my girlfriend.. something.

i know it's going to be

-Warren Ellis' Crooked Little Vein
-a bigassed Art Book that's something like "a retrospective of the last fifty years"

and some other stuff, because that's only going to cost me $12

e: yes to what bel says. i'm a relentless bargain shopper, and it only works because i put all kinds of thought into what i end up getting. i spend a lot of time in bookstores and music stores in october/november, because i find super-cheap bargains that are also great gifts.

Agent Vesago

Get her that matching dust pan to go with the broom you got her last year.

Jordyn

TUB OF MOON SAND.

Jordyn

A couple years ago for Christmas, my stepdad got my mom a new vacuum.



To replace the one that had just broken.





...they're divorced now.

oh shit, that is an excellent idea

Cold Salmon and Hatred

Moon Sand is the best

Belruel

i have never played with moon sand, is it fantastic?

Jordyn

Let me just put it this way.

Moon. Sand.

Stale

For my 10 year anniversary, I took Summer out to dinner and bought her a necklace (albeit not cheaper then 100 bucks).

In return she reminded me what a horrible person I am and ordered expensive wine that I didn't get to taste.






Frankly, shit just ain't worth it in the end.
