Winner! Also some money in the purse. You can't give wallet or purse as a gift without including some money in it.

1. Nintendo DS - She always complains I hog the PSP on every trip, even commented about it 2-3 days ago. $100

2. New iPod Nano - She has commented numerous times over the past 2-3 weeks how cute it is, even going so far as to show me an ad she saw in a magazine of hers. She currently has an old 1st gen thats on its way out. $135

3. Coach Purse - I know the one she wants, roughly $230ish.


Obviously, I could benefit myself from 1 or 2... #3 is hers and hers alone.

Which to get?

I'm just curious. How old are you and your wife?

isn't $230 peanuts for a Coach purse? I thought their handbags alone were more than that.

i'd get her the DS. geek her out to the extreme!

nah coach is "low end luxury" or "entry level luxury." 230 is an average price for their bags.

$230 is a little low for new coach authorized sales, but coach caters to the non-upper class definitely. The funny thing is those that buy them as a stretch usually brag about the mall they got one in.

They make a nice handbag and accessories though...

I would get her the purse....

Should I be concerned that there are a lot a dudes here that seem to be really well schooled on women's handbags?

put nano in Coach bag (and DS if you are really trying to impress)

put Coach bag in cheezy bag

slap lock on bag

give her the key.

huh?

I thought people like Cliff notes?

Basic idea is to disguise the gifts with a cheap ass streetwalker bag.

Clever. Having fun with it is half the satisfaction of gift giving. Anticipation...

I do this all the time

gave her a ring in a box, it's a cheap ass plastic ring, real ring was tied to one of the slippers that went with the ring box.

Interesting. Let's find out what guys know about other 'womens' things.

I know about:

Diamonds - the bigger/more the better.
Fur coats - women who feel cold a lot in the winter appreciate them - no matter how non-pc.
Most women appreciate you doing the dishes, cleaning up your shit...
Dresses - styles/names of types of clothing - nothing - well, bra and panties...

that should = instant poon


or at least a nice breakfast

Unless she's a real pragmatist, and realizes that it was really damned expensive to buy her. Result: a lecture on not wasting so much money buying things she doesn't really need.

Ahh, I could only hope to find someone so practical like that.
