Need some wimminly advice

[TG]

It's me 7th wedding anniversary coming up monday.. research indicates that's either copper or wool. Wool = l-aaahhh-me (:D) so... what sort of thing in copper would a woman appreciate? Or should I just skip the traditional stuffs and go hunt some jewellry or sumpfink?

Suggestions?

I want to spend wisely - in udder words, meesa broke. :p

I :bow: to the superior intellect!

:D

7 years with one woman ... c'mon ... you've got to paws and think about what she needs to make her feel like it's been all worth it and the rest is going to be awesome.
Duh.
P.S. I'll give you R1700 for one of your graphics cards of you're really short of cash ...

[doobiwan]

Uh, how about a copper coffee pot, so she can show her appreciation of you every morning by hand grinding your coffee :p - Which will probably be accompanied by meganuts rolling pin ;)

Get her a kitsh (sp) copper thing and then focus on her womanly needs - Jewellery, flowers, chocolates, bathy stuff and beauty treatment things.

Hi TG, Well...as a woman myself I'd have to say forget the traditional stuff and do something your wife will know is something you've thought of and not something "tradition" has told you to do. If you're going stingy (sorry low budget in "mens" terms), then I don't know what your wife likes but I know most of us women like "emotional, well thought out" stuff eg.
Instead of spending R10 0000 00.00 on a diamond ring which you can just swipe on your visa...which means nothing when you see it was the: buy this ring and get a free copy of battle field special going at American Swiss deal. I'd say take her on a picnic or a romantic dinner. Picnic 1st choice!! Make it a suprise and you must see to everything. roses, blankie, some bubbly, good food and for goodness sake don't forget the puds! And then a really, really mushy card!! Thats always the deal breaker!
Well Good luck, hope its memorable...in a good way :D

Shout if I can help with anything else...like when your wife finds out about this forum and you need ice for that black eye!

The Wo-man

/me makes note that stoke & doobi think they're wimmin...

Tell me Rainy...does your wife beat you often by any chance????? :D
Of course it's the diamond ring & then you can give her the free copy of BF2 for her Birthday...2 gifts for the price of one..what a bargain!!

Hey ! It's just a phase okay ! I think it's called full moon :p.
@useless ... you got any left from the last time :p ?

TG, jewellry is always a winner, but it doesn't have to be expensive. IT has to be something personal, not a dishwasher or tumbledryer or any other kitchen appliance!

Oh Great...another "low-budget male" thats all this clan needed :D

Geez, not at all Meg, I am working within TG's budget.....my wife only accepts shiny, little expensive things :rofl:

@FIVEL

Ok,Ok we'll believe that...but we're watching you...any more "cheep" talk and you're out soldier!! (snicker snicker)

[fivel]

Pressure.....abck to my point, you could buy very nice two tone gold hoop earrings without breaking the bank? That is if TG's wife wears earrings.....

Well, there is usually not much money left over after one has bought a new PC. :D The wife has to understand where she fits in, in the priority list.

[Ruslan74]

lucky me thus far as my wife isnt really into jewelry to a point where its a pressure on me... maybe i will get "her" a Xbox 360 for the 1 year anniversary. :p

OMW.....me sense a life of celibacy for you :rofl:

Well, if I tell my wife I spent all my money on a PC, she would just shake her head and sigh.

On the other hand, if I tell her I am going to buy her some cheap jewelry, I would have a life expectency of about 5 seconds. So, I think I still feel safer than you. :D

@thisgeek: One nice thing we do is go eat dinner on our wedding anniversary at the place where we got married. Might work for you as well. ;)

[fivel]

*sigh* not expensive does not mean cheap...expensive is a relative term, relative to what you earn etc.......

Yes, that is very true.

And to add to that, my wife's favourate piece of jewelry was a gold chain I bought her one day a long time ago for no specific reason whatsoever. It was nothing fancy. She was heartbroken when she lost it some time last year.

[sss]

give her a puppy... the gift that keeps slobbering for 10 years onwards

Very true GKM: I'd also just shake my head and sigh...and he would still get to live :)

[Megnut3025]

Fivel...don't most people get married in a church? :confused:

[Ruslan74]

well... i kinda cant take my wife to our marrying spot coz they are not open during weekends and after 5PM... :p

[fivel]

Fivel...don't most people get married in a church? :confused:

Agreed, between church, the magistrates court and home affairs...should cover about 90 % of all weddings.

Did you not maybe feed all those hungry guests afterwards, that just came to the wedding for some food? :)

No, no silly... thats a useless idea... it would cost more than three diamond rings! AND bf2! (and the cap you waste trying to dl each patch 14 times coz it doesnt work)
