How to Give Your Partner a Gift (for Geeks) 1
Apparently geeks suck at giving gifts. I thought I was doing okay for the most part, I am not excellent but I do okay. I mean I got to take, I carry stuff too. My gift is the ability to slip in, that is all I get and it does not cost anything. But according to Laura, one of our followers here at live.pirillo.com, geeks are bad at giving girl gifts. This is specifically the top five best and worst gifts to give your wife or girlfriend.
Every girl now and again loves to receive that tacky gift from her guy like an ipod, ipone or blu-ray player. Do any of those fit on a finger? However there are times when we need to feel special, that our guy cares enough to know about what makes us a girl, we will do it, I just sent you like that flower wallpaper the other day for your desktop. It is the same thing and it will never die. It is like high resolution jpeg, you do not have to water it.
Number five: gift certificates. There is nothing like the gifts of shopping. I love this gift Laura notes, but it is so important where the gift certificate comes from, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Sophora, etc. That is good! But apparently bad are Walmart, Radio Shack or Gamestop.
Note it. Number four: flowers. Now I know what you were thinking but wait do not send flowers on her birthday, send them after you have stayed up all night working on your computer and did not spend any time with her. And no, I guess sending her instant messages just does not count apparently. You are communicating; you are spending time on her like you are not paying attention because apparently it is not the same.
Siamese am I off here am I off? McCaylan am I off here. We got females here who are you know geeks or techies but you know also would probably say that I am just going to dig myself a hole especially as I continue. Send them because you just start to think about her and want to let her know. Gifts are to be given from the heart not just on holidays. Does everyone hear that? Not just on holidays.
Stopping on the way home from work and buying roses from five dollars out of a van and saying here, do not say I never got you anything. It is not the way to do it and you figured it out you are screwing up four times I would have learned, I have not.
Number three is pay packages. Sorry, spa packages, nothing says, I appreciate you more than a day at the spa being pampered. This gift says “ Honey I know you work hard at your job but you keep our home clean but I won’t say I am a pongee just keep it clean. But I have to, I got to do the dishes later and I got to do laundry. I am not complaining I am just saying I do not ask for flowers or days at the spa. That the meals you cooked are incredible which is true to form, Poncee does cook incredible meals. And because you are awesome at everything, okay so Pomceeis awesome at everything.
I wanted you to have a day for your self. Now here is the bad idea. Giving her some oil and say here, knock your self out an act yourself out, that does not work apparently. And again you thought I have learn after the fourth time but—
Number two: jewelry. Okay men, this is important if you are giving jewelry try to pay attention to what she wears before buying something expensive that she will never wear. Diamonds are forever so usually you can not go wrong with that. What? Dude, oh come on. I cannot believe I am reading this.
My favorite gifts include any thing from Tiffany’s. There is just something about that blue box wrapped in a white ribbon that makes me melt. Bad idea is a key chain from the drug store that says, “I heart and Y.” Yes, what if you do heart and Y? I am sorry, I mean gifts, you do not have to be that expensive. And by the way if you do happen to get a gift for your wife or girlfriend from Tiffany’s, do not tell her why you got it from there. Because I ended at getting Poncee, I think the earrings that you have seen her wear, the diamonds. And they said I got them at Tiffany’s because they are only place open at the time I wanted to get them. Bad, bad stupid idea because she thought, I do that every so often and I try to explain the situation and should say wait a minute, I thought you are doing it because you loved me but you are doing it because of other reasons. But at least I was being honest, give me that!
You know at least geeks are being honest, right? That is going to count for something. Number one: designer hand bags. Oh God! Oh God! What if your wife or girlfriend already has too many? And I define too many as anything over 20. I have like four pairs of shoes and a wallet. Four pairs of shoes and a wallet, okay? A, as in singular, as in non plural.
