    Xmas Presents

    Yes its that time of the year again where everybody goes crazy!

    But this year ill be doing most of my shopping from the comfort of my chair (and no, i won't be 'argosing it')

    I've never been that good at buying presents for loved ones but this year I want to put extra special effort in for presents for my girlfriend.

    One of my ideas was to buy her a star and I just wanted to has anybody else gone down this road? If so where did you buy it from, was it worth the money etc

    Or if you can think of other suggetions for great christmas presents i'd love to hear them.

    edit: I went and named a star anyway with the following message:

    "I am preserving your legacy for all of eternity so that our love will never diminish... Well... until it turns into a supernova and take a few planets with it so many civilisations could be slight miffted... but that won't happen for a good few billion years. Love you! xxx"

    if she's not happy with something like that then she probably isnt right for you

    seriously tho.. what is your budget? can you stretch to some nice jewelery, or are you working on a tight budget ?

    Got my Mom an Omega watch with quite a bit 'o Diamonds; expensive but she's worth it of course.



    Good thing I don't have a gf cause I'd have to sell a kidney!

    So what is your girlfriend interested in? That would seem a good place to start.

    whats your budget?

    ive been with the missus for almost 4 years now, which has amounted to:
    tops, perfume, rucksack, CD's, DVD's, GHD hair straighteners, furniture (), a TV, a 5.1 home cinema system, an ipod mini, JBL creature speakers, some generic ipod gear...

    any inspiration?
