The GF is graduating this Saturday, and I need an idea for a gift. She gets flowers all the time, meals cooked for her. Simple gifts of chocolates, favorite drink, backrubs. The usual, every week. The problem is, I want the graduation present to be meaningful, but not over the top. She's a GF, nothing more. So, and engraved plaque with my Spiderman underwear on it is not an option. "To You, From Me: Stick Around" She is remodelling a house right now, and has a second place where she lives, so housewares are not really needed. She has her own powertools, and I really have no idea what she might need for the house, but maybe that will give you some ideas. She likes Holly Hobby, Frogs. Drives a P/U. Works out, and is in to sports (mainly tennis right now) and jogging. Ideas? Something in/around 100.00 is the budget. TRG |
what's the degree in?? that can help us more. So if it's a business degree, a brief case, or a desk set for her desk... Medical field...(that's what I'm in sorta, vet tech) medical supplies ie stephoscope or such at least that's what my college roomie wanted when she graduated nursing school... Spa Trip!! After all her hard work, she might need a complete day at the spa!! hope that helps! -kursh_kitty ETA: congrats to her on the graduation! |
I could make her a T-shirt with the pic of your butt that says I (heart) RBAD. Yes,I still have the Pic,but I'm sure the Jerky was worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mona |
Wow...I believe one of the last modest braincells I have just popped on that one... 
|
The jerky was certainly worth it.  As for her major. Health and Kiniesiology TRG |
That's awfully thoughtful of you. I think you need to have a little chat with my hubby....  I'm with everyone else on the gift card, that way she can get what she needs. |
Oh Mona, I bet you could make a fortuante putting that picture up for auction on Ebay!  Interesting degree/major. What is her goal? Physical Therapy? Nutrition? Personal Trainer? There could be lots of options for a practical gift for under $100. Of course there's always the tshirt with your butt on it option too. Can't rule that out!

She's a teacher. Her plans are to continue to teach for a couple more tyears, then seek a college position. AS for the shirt with my butt picture on it, it would have to be silk-screened on to a wool sweater for it to match the texture of my butt.  TRG PS. Mona has, for many years now, kept that picture under lock and key. Trust me, you don't want to see it. |
I can't BELIEVE no one has called TRG on that. Ahem: WHY, oh WHY, would the pages of a PLAYGIRL be all stuck together when you're done with it TRG? WTF are you doing with that magazine full of full frontal male junk shots ! The HUMANITY! |
I was also surprised nobody caught that one... These gals are slipping. TRG |
I figured you were dangling the bait ... but I am STILL astounded no one commented on it. Funny shiznit. |
Oddly enough, anytime I 'dangle my bait' in front of these women, they say nothing at all... Stunned silence? Or 'if you can't say something nice...?' TRG |

Hey, I noticed, but I was just trying to not make fun of him. Laughing at him for sticking the Playgirl pages together might make him feel uncomfortable sharing in the future, or cause damage to his fragile fresh-from-the-closet self esteem. You know, appreciate diversity, Brokeback Firemen, Kumbaya, and all that crap.

Mami, to what address to I send the bill for a new keyboard? Brokeback firemen! BWAHAHAHA. Coffee-->nose--->air-->keyboard catastrophe for sure. -Gonzo |
I believe the Rainbow Coalition has a fund just for this purpose... |
