    Why don't you get her a Mooncup?

    That's what I got my workmate for Secret Santa.

    CD. Music is essential.
    And the scarf. It'd be cute put together :)

    Just a culture difference Ruski. Many women in China, even into their late 20s, love big teddy bears. I see them with them all the time. I gag at that gift too, but it is what women like here. Thankfully, she was honest and said she did not much care for it. Good, actually. But at least I tried to do something thoughtful based on what I noticed. Also, all the other gifts were based on what I KNEW she liked, and what she had said (like the scarf based off of her love of my green winter scarf)

    So..

    Earrings/scarf = good.
    Great wall of China adventure- awesome
    went to a Persian restaurant for dinner, and also an Indian restaurant for another meal = good!

    I think I was successful overall

    But why would a simple green scarf or earrings make you vomit? Are you too demanding?? I mean, a cd makes you vomit?

    demanding? no. i would prefer a walk somewhere nice than a pair of earrings. seems more meaningful to me. that stuff just seems corny to me... not my thing. no worries though, if that's what she likes.

    If she is a sentimental type of person, give her a keepsake box, you could always put that CD you make in it. She can continue to add to the box for the rest of her life. :)

    Hope your celebration goes wonderfully! :)

    Awww that is so sweet. I have never had a guy put that much thought into a gift.

    To answer your question, I like gifts with thought, I dont care if its homemade or what.

    I haven't gotten a birthday gift in a really loooooong time. I'd be happy with any of those gifts!

    a gun. I'm think a ppk, or an SKS.... the latter would probably be easier to find in that part of the world.

    I got a huuuuge teddy bear for Valentine's Day. It was too creepy and very pointless, so I gave it away to a three year old kid.

    yeah. i'm not a toddler. :D that sorta stuff always fell short of the mark.

    dave has developed a tradition: the period preparedness pack. alcohol, comfort food, chocolate and some flowers. he's golden, even when he can't get it done.
