My best friends girlfriends birthday is tonight at a restaurant and i have no idea what to get her. whats a nice gift i can get for $25-30? i was thinking some basket of goods from bath and body works or something make many suggestions please
if there are more guys like u going, i guarantee there'll be like 3 of those. if she's in school, maybe u should get her a thumb drive; if she doesnt have one already. maybe she'll think it's dumb now but one day it'll come in handy. eh, i'm more of a practical gift giver.
Wait a sec, you're buying your friend's girlfriend a birthday present? This is totally unnecessary and inappropriate unless she lets you put your penis in her. Honestly, I have NEVER bought anything for a friend's girl. Am I the only one that finds that weird?
so i should show up at her birthday like a little smuck and have no gift? doesnt matter who it is, if they invite me to their birthday party, you have to get a gift. we got some rude people in this forum.
It's not rude, it's proper etiquette. Standards of etiquette dictate no where that you need to bring a gift to your friend's girlfriend's birthday party. A card is appropriate, but a gift from someone she doesn't consider a close friend may even seem awkward.
Did you ever think she might be a greedy bitch? Trust me, my wife is a party planner and an etiquette queen. She even has books on etiquette laying around here. Do you want me to pull a passage for you? On EDIT: *Note to self* Scroll all the way to the bottom of the quoted message before you start typing.
but we are all good friends, so i dont see the problem. we all hang out a few times a week. do you think she or i really care about was stated in some etiquette book? i want to get her something, its the right thing to do.
How old is this girl? Anybody above the age of 14 that allows friends or acquaintances to bring gifts to her birthday party is a cunt. She is far more rude than anybody in this thread.
You're right, it is your choice and that's fine, but no one in here is rude for saying that you don't need to bring a gift. It doesn't make it the right thing for everyone to do, it makes it the right thing for you to do.
I guess my friends don't date girls like that, because in my 30+ YEARS on Earth it has never come up. And if my girlfriend asked my friends for birthday gifts I'd dump her ass.
i see what you guys mean but this is the way i see it: its her birthday, shes paying for everyone at this resturant that will probably come out to at least $25 a person. i should at least get her something to cover my food costs. she didnt have to invite me, but she did.
Just a difference of custom I guess. In Asia I've heard it's polite to belch after a meal, and rude to clean your plate. And in Detroit it's rude to pay a hooker in a public place. When in Rome... :-D
