great new years gift idea for your wife - gf - SO - friend...

beyondhairy · #1 12-31-2007, 12:19 PM

The back story:

so my girlfriend's family kinda hate(d) me, for no other reason out side of being a guy.... so they filled my GF and i with all this fear to the point where i cant be mentioned, so during the dear when ever i gave anything to my gf she had to lie and say somebody else gave it to her, so for new years, one of her friend's gave her a gift and when she told her mom, her mom said "What about jimmy, he didnt give you anything for your birthday or new years..." i was in such AWE at this.. cuz we are filled with fear to the point where i cant be mentioned then i get bad mouthed... so out of spite (and love of coarse lol) i....

The gift:

sent flowers to their house i picked out 12 rosses, all of a different color... well 2 of each, reds, whites, pinks, yellows... etc... and i picked out a sun flower(well that was the plan, but they didnt have any so i picked out a fairly large dandelion) and i put them all together with the dandelion right in the center. and then tied them all up with red, yellow, and orange bows...

now the symbolism... each rose represents a month, and the different colors represent that each month of the year isnt the same, the sunflower/Dandelion represents the sun and that it takes 12 months to circle the sun. the colors of the ribbons collectively look like fire, and this symbolizes the fire/love/passion that burns for your loved ones all year round and it ties everything together. then i mentioned that even though the months will fade the memory of them will still be alive...because hello, the flowers die lol

this was all written in the card (not word for word, i did it better there, but you get the idea)

so my GF got them and she called her family up at work and told them and read the card to them and they all went "aawwee, how sweet" and now they have a different view of me, yayness!

People give gifts on New Years now? Eesh. When will it end?

That's so sweet, and very thoughtful!!! Her folks ought to be impressed that you thought so deeply about a gift for their daughter. I would be, for sure.

So...what's this about New Year's gifts? You mean I was supposed to have been getting New Year's gifts all these years? Man, I know some guys who owe me back-presents! I need to go wake Hubby from his nap so he can make me a present. LOL!

Dude. Stop!. No gifts beyond b-day and xmas. You're creating a monster and setting yourself up for failure.

Thoughtful gift btw. Now what are you going to do for valentines smartypants?

hah, dont know when gift giving came into play on new years, but i thought it would be a good occasion to say "hey, im not a cheap jerk, and i care about you and yoru daughter, and not just about getting into her pants"

valentine's day? i'll give her some pleasuring lol

and indeed, i did say "yayness" and im not ashamed, infact i'll kill for my right to say it.. cuz im a card carrying member of the Man Club ::grabs bear and gf's butt:: mmmmm

and maki... i was too broke to get her anything for her birthday, and to busy to make her anything, didnt even have time to write her a song, her mom has held it against me for 6 months, and shes jewish, so no xman lol

Yes, I did. With every intention of insinuating what Mon is referring to.

The flowers didn't do this all by themselves. You've been overestimating the issue with her family. Just hold up your end and treat them and your girlfriend with respect, and you'll do fine.

did giving a new years gift break a man-law?

her family started to dislike me out of the blue, to the best of my knowledge anyway. i started hearing negative things about me, and iv always treated her with respect and given her more love then what she could ever ask for. even told me she started to cry when she was reading the card to her family over the phone because she felt so loved.... good times

well, according to many addendums in the rule book, i am no tbreaking any, because this will help me in getting more tang, because she will be able to come to my house more often

Hmmm. I don't think so, but I feel the need for a new one.
