Its me and my girlfriends 3 year anniversary in 24 days. And I haven't got a clue what to get her. What's a good present that will ensure lots of naughtiness for the rest of the year?

How about asking her to Marry you?

24 days!!! Blimey, it's my wife's birthday next week and I haven't given it a thought yet...!

Not on the High Street is a good place to start.

It's my wife's 40th birthday at the end of the month and we're going to Budapest for a week. She told me she wants to save our money to spend on restaurants and sightseeing while we're there and so definitely doesn't want any presents.

This, translated from womanspeak, means "If you don't get me something you'll be in the frigging doghouse, sunshine".

As usual, I haven't got a bastard clue what to get her. She's not a collector or a particular fan of anything, she doesn't really read books, she's not bothered about owning DVDs, she likes baking and cooking but I don't want to buy her kitchen equipment as that's not personal enough.

She's never liked any of the clothes I've bought her (to be fair, I don't like other people buying me clothes either), neither has she seemed enamoured of my choice of jewellery in the past (not that she particularly wears it regularly anyway).

She doesn't drink and isn't bothered about chocolate, flowers are too temporary and a bit cliched.

AAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHH!

She'd have hundreds of thing to choose from if she was getting me a present; anything Dredd or 2000 AD related, any anime DVDs/plastic tat, sci-fi/fantasy novels, beer, the list goes on. But her? Not a clue what she would like.

Sorry Chimera, if I can't even think of what to get my wife, who I've known for 19 years, there's no chance of me offering any useful suggestions for your missus.

You are, like all us poor man-chumps, on your own, pal.

Right step one... do you know your girlfriends mates... and how many friends do you have?


gather them together and ask for their help .... plan a surprise... something different...

CAUSE ANY DUMB-ASS CAN BOOK A trip/ restaurant/flowers/ gift....

if you care you will think differently....

Yyyyeeeah. I'll probably just get her a card and a bag of fruit pastels and then bang her on the couch after the kids have gone to bed.

Romance.

I'm gonna join the good Doc here and say if you can't think of any of her interests in life then maybe you should think a little harder :p  personally I couldn't care less about flowers chocolates or jewelry, but if she's that type of girl then go ahead!  Then again if it's been three years she might expect something with a little more thought haha.

Me and mine just celebrated my bday by him agreeing to go with me to see Karl Urban/Stephen Amell at that con and dealing with me talking about Dredd and Arrow all weekend  :lol:  poor guy

@spaceghost: lol you have the best idea so far. Guessing this is what I can look forward to after getting married and having kids

I'll be sure to bring a chair with me if I ever come round.

Pregnant. Failing that, shoes.

I have it on good authority that girlies only think about babies and shoes. It's why there's no room in their heads for important stuff about cars and sport.

No, no -- no need to thank me!
