[pontifex]

since you're an idiot by considering buying a $230 purse, buy her the DS and the Nano.

 

[Coquito]

Get a fake Coach, with a Nano inside.

Where's Bob Barker when you need him?

:roll:

How about i am proud because I paid nowhere close to retail for both of them.

 

[meltdown75]

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!

That's a year round gift.

How did you manage that? iirc, when I bought one ten years ago, a 'good deal' was nowhere to be found.

It probably sounds strange for a guy to go on like this about a purse, but I was so impressed with the quality - it'll last a lifetime and iirc, has a lifetime warranty. This kind of quality doesn't seem to exist in other womens clothing, accessories, etc.

There is a Coach outlet store near to our house (sort of) that they mark down the prices. Not rejects, not last seasons... just cheaper. The two that I got came to 200$ for both.
Hobo style, both all leather... not plastic, etc. One pink one, the other patchwork and brown.

No question, the purse is choice one, the nano, choice two.

Honestly you should get the purse and put the DS AND the Nano inside it. All three = grand slam Christmas nookie!

That's where the "Dick in a box" present comes into play.

Coach...every girl loves Coach...

With that blatant of a hint, you really need to buy this. The new nanos look quite nice for someone who doesn't care about keeping their complete music collection in their portable.

Maybe toss in a couple of iTunes cards so she can add some new music budget-guilt-free.

:thumbsup:

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?

So you bought yourself a DS and are using it for the wife?

Why'd you buy that if she likes the PSP?


Oops edit. I thought all of these you were getting her. Only one of any seems a cheap way out though...I take it you have kids where the real money is going to.

Rabbit.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Get her the purse, and inside should be the DS and Nano.

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