I refuse to buy expensive gifts for girlfriends. One asked me for "something with diamonds in it" for Christmas - so I bought her a pack of cards.
You mean your girlfriend's never sent you to the supermarket to buy them? ****ing nightmare. How many sizes, shapes, quantities do they need?!? Unless you mean Tampons specifically.
I must admit I hate Christmas cards - I'd rather pick up the phone and wish someone Merry Christmas or go and have a pint with them rather than go with the flow and send a card that's just going to go on a bit of string with 200 others. Oh, and all that tat you buy when you're on holiday just to give someone a souvenir - it's basically saying "I went to Madagascar and bought you a poxy tee shirt not because it's a token of affection but because it makes me feel better than you as you only had a week in Torbay"
Might sound strange but I actually split with my last girlfriend after an argument about me buying them. OK, so there were other aggravating factors, but that was the straw that broke the Camel's back.
Typical bloody woman. Wont let anything go. Do you really want to get into an argument about the genetic history of domesticated ungulates?
