That's a nice commercial, but how effective is it? If I were to think off the top of my head I'd have no idea what the ad was for..whereas the one you've mentioned stands out. It's good marketing, nothing more nothing less.

me and my wife always give little list on what we want. Yes i can find her somethign she would enjoy and she could do the same. But having a list of 3-5 items just helps.
she knows i want games (pc,wii, PS3) and movies. it helps to giver her what one etc.
same with me. she gives me a list that says what she wants. she usually wants stuff from bath and body works. she gives me a list of exactly what she wants.
thats not saying we don't get each other the occasional gift that we pick up. we don't need a day or something to do it either.
I thought it was a Jeep commercial. On topic, yes, I think Kay's ads are nauseating, but they have their audience, just like all the ads out there. No wonder so many people are in debt. Too many people are buying stuffs they don't need with borrowed money.

I enjoy buying my wife teh colored baubles in nicer jewelry stores.
I agree that Kay isn't one of them, but "Every kiss begins with Kay" doesn't bother me.
My wife really likes jewelry, but doesn't nag, throw not-so-subtle hints, nor pester me to buy it.
I usually find something I KNOW she'd like and surprise her with it, but ONLY if/when we can afford to pay for it without financing. THAT does seem rather stupid to me for anything except perhaps the wedding set when you first get married, and even then, most people go way over their heads, and are still making the paymenst after the ink is dry on their divorce decrees...
We'll be in Ka'anapali this year for her birthday, and I'll probably take her to Maui Divers or Na Hoku and buy her a ring or earrings....probably pearls.
Geekbabe, if you don't like/appreciate jewelry, that's fine, and you certainly seem to have well-grounded values. Not a thing wrong with that, but seriously, if the hubby brought home some nice bauble or trinket, would you really be pissed?

I hate these commercials almost as much as the Lexus "season to remember" commercials they should start showing real soon. You know, the ones with the new Lexus sitting in someones driveway with a giant red bow on it. Then I think they also re-run these commercials during valentines day as well.

I just want you to understand how much men feel obligated to do something just because someone said it should be that way. Like I said earlier, we're in a tight spot and certain things are expected from us.
That "tight spot"though is one you can easily get out of simply by talking with the women you're involved with,sharing your values and such and looking for women who value similar things.
Ewwwwwww, rather drop a few grand on some bauble every now and again....

Geekbabe,
You said you have a $1500 gold handmade belt you won?
Were you a female wrestler? That's HOT!
That was the first thing that came to mind! :laugh:
And those annoying jewelry commercials are there to brainwash people into believing that love is merely something materialistic that you express by going into ridiculous debt over someone else. You can see how well the brainwashing worked on you.
I guess they need to come up with more cleaver marketing next time, like some dirt poor 100 year old geezer with his last dying breath handing his soon to be 18 year old wife a ring box with a cigar band in it to wear around her finger. Then the jingle "Every kiss begins with death" can start up as he drops dead from anticipation. :evil:
