Sureshot Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Hello all, I know it is still November, but I have a question for the ladies (guys can answer to if you think you scored good one year), what is the best christmas gift you recieved from a/your boyfriend (or given to your girlfriend, guys). To make it fair, I will open it up so some woman can get some ideas too... A few years ago, I got a new snowmobile around christmas, and my ex got me a customized helmet, It was supercool but too expensive for a gift. Do woman feel that way as well?
gonetildecember Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 For our anniversary my ex gave me a heart pendant necklace and a little book that he made (with pics and a notes) about the story of us. I know a lot of girls like it when guys make the effort to do something semi-sentimental.. i thought it was sweet.. and even tho we aren't together.. i still have both.
KittenMoon Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I liked it when my ex put in effort to come up with and the buy me something he thought I'd actually like. I didn't care what it was- the best gift he ever got me was the first xmas we were together. He got me a really nice 8" chopping knife. His mom thought he was nuts. I loved it. The worst gifts were the last few years of our relationship, where I can't recall one gift-giving occasion where it didn't seem like a bother that he had to get me something. That reaaaaaally hurt, since I rarely get a gift without having thought it out in the first place. There are only two things that matter in a gift: effort and sincerity.

She is interested in a folding knife for work, but the one she likes is a fighting style knife, shes not into this kind of stuff normally, but I know that she loves this style, but I dont know if I would feel comfortable giving her a knife for christmas, If i do get it, it obviously wouldnt be the only gift. yay or nay? I like gonetildecember's post, the sentimental idea is great, I would like to combine a cheap sentimental idea with something nice as well. Let's hear some other ones!
quankanne Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 There are only two things that matter in a gift: effort and sincerity. amen, sister! The best gifts are the one in which the giver finds something that's uniquely me, based on my likes or my needs. Last year, my sister gave me a small table-top sewing machine, same brand as she uses so that she could help trouble-shoot if need be. This year, my husband got me a heavy-duty Singer sewing machine, so she custom ordered the special bobbins and got me a round bobbin-keeper because she liked hers so much. And there's talk about a bobbin-winder, too! for the past couple of years, she's been bugging me for a copy of our parents' church marriage certificate, so I'm thinking about making one for all my sibs, but matting and framing hers because she's always so thoughtful when it comes to doing stuff for me.
Trialbyfire Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 The first Christmas after my grandmother passed away, my ex-H gave me a picture of her I'd never seen before which he'd taken just before she passed away, in one of her own picture frames that he got from my parents. I think I cried for a good hour after opening it. I miss her so much.
