Christmas gifts...

Um, depends on what sort of message your looking to send...

If you do, I'd suggest ducking shortly thereafter. She'll be giving you something back. =)

I don't know that I'd duck, more like jump back out of kicking/kneeing range.

Dude, if those are the first gifts that come to mind when you think of her, I'd suggest that you two need to have "the talk".

Dear God, Ray--

*sigh*

Fortunately, I know you're smart enough to know better. Personal grooming products like those are not something you get a wife unless you want to be the most un-laid spouse in town.

Although...having thought about this a bit more, a gift of a day-long pampering treat at a local spa would be an ideal gift for any romantic interest in your life--and then maybe you'd get your grooming wishes accomplished at the same time.

seriously--that would be a gift ANY woman would love.

Is it really bad if I got a lady friend of mine (romantic interest at that) these:

- nose hair trimmer
- deodorant
- bikini wax appointment
- toenail clippers
- wrinkle cream

?

Advice, please.

Find a nice monastery you might like to join.

I think you need to get her at least one "big ticket" item . . . say, a toaster!

And don't bend over around her any time soon.

Why don't clothing designers and electrical appliance manufacturers get together and invent ladies' underwear that can also toast stuff?

Hey now! Best idea of the year, or what?

Vibrating panties? That shows the giver has class.

If my husband gave me those Christmas gifts, he'd be getting NOTHING in return.

Not good at all - unless you include a thoughtful gift, like a vacuum cleaner.

Hey! I like it.

It shows the giver wants to do his part in the upkeep of the household.

Wow, it sounds serious. Congratulations.

If you want to really wow her, get her a big screen high-def TV and keep it at your place for her to watch whenever she wants between the hours of 4pm and 9pm (provided there isn't something on you want to watch, of course.)

I can see you two are destined for eternal happiness. Again, congratulations, my friend.

I'd say that as long as you're ok keeping her as a romantic interest instead of a romantic reality, you're golden.

i think those are good gifts, ray. stick with it.



throw in a mop and a nice new bucket if you want to take it to the next level!

Cray, that is the best avatar EVAH.

He bought me a hair dryer last year.

You can imagine what happened after that.

(or didn't happen, I should say)

You forgot the Nair for the hair on her upper lip.

This sounds like what I'm getting my wife. I see nothing wrong with this. I wrapped up really nice, did that thing with the scissors to the ribbons so they'll curl up, and put on a pretty bow. She's going to love it.

the vacuum cleaner I feel is more a gift for the man...have the woman put on a Marylin Monroe type dress, and tweek the vacuum so it blows the air up and out into the dress that flows ever so wildly, and then have her give you a lil shimmie shake in the chesticle department....

yes...vacuum cleaners definatly a man's gift...

So you're interested in dating a smelly, hairy, claw-footed old hag?
