And maybe it's just nice to buy your SO nice gifts. For everyone that said that it's bad to buy designer items it's the same thing as buying luxury cars or w/e nice items everyone here is hiding. I'm sure most of you are making money, drive nice vehicles, own a nice house(s) and have your own guilty pleasure. I'm sure others have commented on your high ticket spending and berated/scolded you for it.

Back to the main topic. Anything else ? And for the record no I'm not creative, that's why I'm not an engineer or an innovator of some sort that's rolling in millions of dollars.
We're a lot that sometimes like to throw stones from our glass houses.

Honest opinion on purses and jewelry: too expensive while also too easy to buy the wrong one (very personalized items) = high risk gift. Most of us here have done it. Unless you know the exact item that she wants I wouldn't do it because she may want a different one and then both of you are in an awkward situation or upset.

Best friend but actually in many cases the boyfriend would work too.

I'm in flames today!

I bought my ex a Coach purse last year for Christmas. She pretended to like it, but I knew she didn't. We had to go back so she could exchange it for a much more expensive one....


TLDR: Don't take my gift advice.

This!

In my case, front lip, diffuser, interior parts, was picks if you know me well enough, and if you know me well enough to think of those, you'd know I've never had a purse I've used.

Most women do wear jewelry, I only pearls. Actually I would want those for christmas/ any reason, but i just bought an exhaust system to my car so I will shut up about my needs for a while.

The age of the twins makes it tough.

My wife doesn't even know the rules for hockey, but I got 3 Kings tickets just behind the bench against the Flyers. She's never had so much fun while she was cold. The 3rd was for my 14yo son.

Purse- Great gift for "Sorry I f***ed up" events. Awful gift for (positive) meaningful events.

Reasoning: When it goes out of style in 2 years and winds up at the bottom of a box in storage, it will be good when she forgets why you gave it to her.

Supporting Information: Coach Purses....they were in style with 18-30 year old women about 8 years ago. Now, the only people that own them are middle aged overweight housewifes from Mexico.

Michael Kors- Basically the next fad after Coach. They're standing on their last leg of being desired.

My prediction: Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and Longchamps will be the next three to go out of style.

Why I know: My girlfriend and I recently moved and were unpacking boxes...I found "The Purse Box."

Working from top to bottom:

Longchamps(2014)>Kate Spade (2012)>Tory Burch (2010)>Michael Kors (2008)>Coach(2006)>Dooney and Burke (2004)

Ways to Avoid P*ssing her off:
-If it's a brand found at TJ Maxx, Marshall's, or Ross....avoid
-If the brand has a ton of Outlet locations...avoid
-If it's build like a piece of s*** but has a $300+ pricetag...avoid
-If it's being carried around by old women....avoid

I'm buying her a washer dryer set. Nothing says happy holidays like a couple front loaders. And it's great for the entire family!
