Gift suggestions for girlfriend?

slubu · 09-15-2006, 12:14 PM

My birthday just passed, and she spent over $400 total on gifts, dinner, etc. I would like to return the favor, so I'm wondering on what to get. She drives a Corolla, and has always wanted a spoiler on her car, so I'm thinking that as a starter ($200 roughly). Anything else? I would love to take her to a fun type dinner...anybody know of anything like medieval times, but not medieval times? I live in Socal...

Also, if anyone has a bodyshop to recommend to me in Orange County to install the spoiler please let me know.

What about that place that is set-up like medieval times, but it is all about pirates. I cannot wait to try that. I heard it is in the same area. I like the idea of a 335 as well

slubu · 09-15-2006, 12:34 PM

Please, the 335 goes to me first...

Women always like it when you remember some tiny thing they told you and you turn it into a gift. The smaller the hint or detail the better. It means you're not yet at the stage where you tune out half of what they say.

cdheaven · 09-15-2006, 01:06 PM

get her an ipod!!! everyone wants an ipod!

just4kickz · 09-15-2006, 01:10 PM

what year rolla? haha dont get her a spoiler...!

MrSilver · 09-15-2006, 01:20 PM

Tiffany's

Nothing says I love you like a blue box.

Gitta · 09-15-2006, 02:09 PM

Unless your girl is really into her car (or cars in general), you can't get her a spoiler for her birthday because it will be just that... a 'spoiler'. The suggested blue box is always nice, or any kind of nice jewelry. How about you treat her to a day spa?

I've head that thing work wonders on the stern show

this is a far better present than a spoiler

you do not get a girl a spoiler, that's worse than buying her a vaccuum or pots/pans

Why do you think he is a low life? I would normally say it is because you don't appreciate his sense of humor, but you stated that you can't help but laugh at his show, and you listen to him.

Why do you listen to him?

I heard it is great though. I'll catch it next week some time.

that's a weird vase, do you guys carry those at fry's?

slubu · 09-15-2006, 05:27 PM

The reason for the spoiler is she always talks about how she wished her corolla came with a spoiler, so I thought I'd suprise her and get one installed...

BiggieJ · 09-15-2006, 06:39 PM

i say skip the spoiler and just leave a nice note on her car while shes at work, so she can find it when she gets back to her car. i just saved you 200 bones.

even better though is get yourself a 335 ED and use the 2-for-1 tix (you can use the 200 you saved and pay for the taxes on the 2nd ticket) and take her to munich. dont tell her wheres shes going just "I know a nice place to get some beers."

Nikki · 09-15-2006, 07:12 PM

I don't know why everyone is down on the spoiler, I think it's a nice idea especially if you're going to do something else also.
