    Unless someone asks for cash, just giving them cash says "Well I knew I had to give you a gift but I didn't appreciate you enough to put anything more than the bare minimum into getting you a gift." While a gift card isn't the most thoughtful gift by any means, at least it shows you put the effort into getting them a gift card at some place they enjoy spending money at.

    Key is to get a really good card to put the gift card in. Write a personal, caring, and original message on the inside, that way you'll have the feels part of the gift covered.

    Sent me a link of something she wanted at noon today. Purchased right after, at 1 sends another email saying don’t get the last one get this one. Return the first item, open second email and it’s blank.

    That's why you just buy whatever you think she needs or wants and convince her it's a great idea.

    Bonus points if you get her to argue about it and make her feel she won some trivial fight, too.

    Can't figure out what to get her this year. I'm tired of getting her new hand bags and shit. She has 30 of them. I did grab this sweet butchers knife from Spain...So she can cook me dinner



    She hasn't whined about needing anything lately so I might just get her a few things and save the rest for Jamaica in February

    Small gift that's pretty cool that females might like.

    I recently went here: https://www.wildanimalsanctuary.org
    (fucking amazing by the way. If you're in denver or Boulder I highly recommend)

    They take in wild animals from all over the globe that were being severely mistreated and give them an actual sanctuary with a habit. It's not a zoo, that's very important to them.

    One way they take donations is in the form of adopting their animals. It's 30/20/10 bucks a month depending on the animal. Larger animals are more. Lions, Tigers, bears, wolves, lynx, alpacas, ostrich, camel, fox, porcupines, jaguars, more cats, etc etc

    You can donate in someone's name and 'adopt' an animal. You can name it and theyll send you a picture of the animal and a certificate for it.

    Very worthy cause as they're doing amazing work, and girls are suckers for animals

    She is absolutely terrible at gift giving.

    I set a $20 limit for both of us this holiday season, trying to minimize the damage.

    I tried to set a 75 dollar limit. GF proceeds to tell me she wants an apple watch and already spent 200 on some mystery gift for me. I didn't ask for anything and don't need anything under 600 bucks so I am very concerned. Hopefully she bought me some ultraboosts but more than likely some painting.

    I also have her birthday, our anniversary and Valentines day in the next 2 months.
