Q: What do you present your GF/Wife this year?

I am curious what are you going to present your gf / wife for christmas. First i wanted to present her a MacAir but she found out what i wanna present (dunno how...) and she said "dare you, toooooo expensive". so she destroyed my present idea -.-

now i having quite some trouble to find out what to present. I thought i make a nice photobook or something so its more personal

 

so what about you?

Maybe get the MacAir for her anyway - she might secretly want it and be impressed you want to buy it for her.

me and the kids got my wife perfume this year, first time buying this stuff so hope she is not allergic to it

royceH:

Hey Phil....GET READY!

I bought an ex-partner some perfume I thought she would be so happy with for Christmas a few years ago and she had a meltdown.  She unwrapped it, took it upstairs without speaking and I heard her going off.  When she reappeared she was calm but I knew something was wrong.  Later I found the perfume package and saw that it was damaged, looked like it had been stomped on.  I asked her about it but she had nothing to say.

Looking back I reckon this was the beginning of the end for us and I'm blowed if I know why she did this.  I recall the perfume cost a couple of hundred bucks.

So....good luck matey!

MissA:

Your ex sounds nuts, royce. I love a nice perfume, and a good one is always appreciated. 

 

That being said, a lot of the time women have very specific tastes in perfume - I don't like sickly sweet perfumes and if MrA bought something that smelled like a sugar factory, it would go to waste. So good luck, phil!

I've no idea what to buy, however, I'd like to buy her something

She's got stacks of jewellery that she never wears, lots of perfume that she wears occasionally, a thousand pairs of shoes she never wears and state of the art stainless steel stuff.

She's always buying me things, usually not needed, and I never buy her anything.  I regularly ask her what she would like and she says she needs nothing.

Women can be hard to read sometimes...

Don't buy her anything. Most women appreciate other types of gifts, some that won't even cost much money. Simple things make the best memories. All you gotta do is be creative and let her be amazed buy something she never imagined you would give her or you would done for her. Simple and efficient!

yeah i suppose so but i m creative like a toaster

A romantic evening out. Or cook a special dinner for a romantic evening in. I really don't know what the puck has happened to men. Your wife is from china, not Saturn.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
