I love the way you say it like it isnt the bloke equivalent of solving some really complicated equation!!!!!! (altho its still a good idea tho...

)

Just say the above and they'll know what you speak of. I only ever have good Ideas

Shedite is loaded, he can well afford the €150 no bother :P !

My missus has her birthday on the 22nd December which is always a disaster, have sorted the birthday present but have not yet sorted the Christmas one. Think the DS lite with a few games mentioned above could be a good idea

CD's, giftvouchers from Boots/her favourite clothing store/homestore/dunnes etc., pyjama set, girly nonfiction books (pick one from the top 10 list in Eason's) DS Lite and the Brain training game or The 42 All Time Classic Games.

He got me a new ghd and the DS Lite last year, can't live without either of the two now

Cant get a DS Lite anywhere, she has been droppin hints all week and I aint been able to get my hands on one.

**lionelhutz** · 10/12/2007, 2:05 PM

Ya ders no sign of the DS anywhere besides Ebay and Amazon who are selling them for over 250euro each - face value of 150. Anybody got any other ideas of where to get one??

**DIFChick** · 11/12/2007, 4:24 PM

Best of luck trying to get a DS lite now. Last year the game shops ran out of the most popular games (super mario kart/ super mario bros. etc.)

I think Wii's are sold out as well unless you'd settle for second hand stuff

**Risteard** · 11/12/2007, 10:08 PM

WTF?
There was Wiis available in Douglas Court tonight.
Where does this stuff come from?

**anto1208** · 12/12/2007, 3:42 PM

You can get a ds from here www.videogamesplus.ca for about 100 euro + p&p which wont be much.

I use this site its fine, delivery about a week maybe more this time of year

**sligoman** · 13/12/2007, 8:01 PM

This might help

Mrs Raptor wants a CD Player that looks like a Jukebox, so I'm going to surprise her with a real one. was looking at this one http://www.superleague.ie/omtipod.htm but i emailed for a price its slightly out of my price range @ €8,800

If she's not a Westlife fan your screwed...
Otherwise pretty good I'd say.

Our main present to each other this year is going to be a new TV so only had to get the smaller bits. Got her oil paints, brush set, canvas, (she's a brilliant artist and is getting back into it recently) Bon Jovi calendar (she's a huge fan, already have tickets to see them in the summer), CSI Series 7 DVD (she has all of them up to season 6, her favourite TV show) and a little Me to You bear Christmas decoration (Me to You bear and card is a tradition at this stage, we moved in together this year and have our first Christmas tree so went with the little decoration).

Even though this is our fifth Christmas I'm still terrified she's not going to like the presents. It's probably the first year I haven't got her any jewellery or make-up due to the budget so I'm nervous (even though I'm 99% sure she'll be happy).

Ya theyre gr8 presents but only, as passinginterest said, if she loves westlife. If she's anythin like every women i know, there'll be no prob.

My girlfriend already has their new album and the concert tickets, dagnamit!! So i got her a 3 day trip to London, staying in a nice hotel - very central, and going to the Mamma mia play over there. Earlier in this thread i was advised to get Dirty Dancing tickets but they were all sold out

Also got her a Blackburn training shirt - she supports them, the DVD of our first film and must get a couple of other things - teddy, pampering set.....

Hope to God she likes them!

Am resurrecting this thread as this year is even worse than last year and last year was so bad I dont even remember what I got her.

Jewellery - has done it to death, She has more jewellery than Mr T

Weekend away - Sofia and Italy(Rome) already spoken for - might struggle with annual leave

DS Lite - broached it with her - not interested

Anything for the house - dont even go there

All suggestions welcome
