present buying
« on: May 03, 2011, 11:00:37 AM »
hmmm the hardest thing in my life is buying my husband a present.
I have a relative coming from the states that can bring something for me- nothing huge obviously.
I need an idea of something to buy and being there are many men on this site- i expect some nice ideas..
what would you like as a present???

What type of phone does he have? Maybe an upgrade to a newer model Blackberry, or an Android smart phone.

Why does he need to travel?
Being married is reason enough to get them!

(P.S. Before everyone starts huffing and puffing etc, ITS JUST A JOKE, so take a deep breath and CALM DOWN!)

If you still have your Amex Plat, call their concierge, they can help you with gift ideas.
