Yay!
I've been finding it more difficult to get her gifts as of late. Simply because I'm running out of creative ideas. I mean, I could go with the generic card, flowers, and a baked good but that's boring. Plus, she hates flowers except for lilacs. And lilacs have to be specially ordered in due to their short lifespan. I would know, I've gotten them before.
Either that or I've been duped and paid extra for nothing.
Why can't Theresa like something more generic like roses?
What I've resorted to then is custom unique gifts. I'm very fond of finding odd things online because I spend way too much time on the Internet. So when a writer on Reddit had a Kickstarter for his horror novel (Theresa loves horror novels even though it prevents her from sleeping) I immediately funded it. Penpal was successfully funded and if you want you probably could find the original story on Reddit if you don't want to buy a copy.
Theresa is also fond of My Little Pony. Now I'm not sure if anyone is aware but the toys released by Hasbro are kind of garbage. I guess it makes sense, these are for kids to throw around and get hidden under furniture and what not. Not to be put on display. So when I found someone who was making high quality resin models I jumped on as soon as possible. It was pricey, I'm not going to lie, but I think it was worth it just because it was unique.
And of course Theresa likes the nerdy one.
The last material gift I got her was a laptop cooler. Hers has been heating up nonstop and we haven't been able to play anything together lately. Well, I like to blame her laptop because blaming Med school is kind of irrational.
I'm hoping to take her somewhere nice for dinner on Saturday, but knowing her, she'll want to go grab tacos or McDonalds. Sweetheart, you're not 8 anymore, you're an adult and it's not proper to have Happy Meals on your birthday as an adult.
Oh wait, I've gotten her Happy Meals before.
. . . .
Screw it, I'll get her whatever she wants. It's her birthday, she calls the shots.
This blog is so lovely Damien, you're an awesome boyfriend and she seems like a lovely girl. If she insists on getting fast food for the birthday dinner there's maybe a possibility she's doing it just to not take much money off you but like you say it's up her, have a Happy Birthday Theresa!
ReplyDeleteheheh Happy Birthday to Theresa!
ReplyDeleteOh please, please tell us where you got the MLP from. The Hasbro toys are awful. I have two of the toys that McDonalds did, much better. Happy birthday to Theresa :D I hope she likes what you've gotten her. You should have probably saved something for Christmas though.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Theresa
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Theresa and I wish her all the best with medical school. Yay women doctors! Gifts are hard, but it's the thought behind them that makes them special I think. You sound like a truly awesome boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteAwwww.... you're too sweet! She should totally get McDonalds if she wants it! And way to go on the thoughtful gifts - I'm SO bad at gift giving... grrrrr!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Theresa if she reads this!
ReplyDeleteCan we get a picture of the pony figurine please? :3
Also sheesh, everything's on KickStarter these days.
Damian: Ideal Husbando
Sounds like you got some great gifts, always an idea out there if one looks hard enough. And yeah, if mcdonalds works it works.
ReplyDeleteSeems it's not TOO difficult, you have it down. Hope she has a happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteAwww, Happy Birthday Theresa, I'm sure you will have a lovely day...even if you have a nerd for a partner!
ReplyDelete{By the way, I have some paper lilacs, and they were quite cheap to buy and have lasted for ages.}
They always do, nicely done Dwei!
ReplyDeleteLiquor is always a winner in my gift book. (Just saying)
ReplyDeletethis is so sweet :) i think a ahppy mel on a bday is perfect. i wanna try it :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Theresa! :)
ReplyDeletelol, yeah, that's probably the best thing to do for someone's birthday, whatever they want.
ReplyDelete*goes to McDonalds*
ReplyDeleteHow about a voucher to spend on Amazon? Boring, but it will be fun for her to chose something she wants?
ReplyDeletehappy B-day to Theresa :)
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going to see a picture of the two of you? :)
Happy Birthday to Theresa! How about giving her a day of pampering? But you probably do that every day, don't you?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Theresa! How about a nice day of pampering? But I bet you do that every day anyway! Don't you?
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest dinner and a movie, always a classic. For dinner start with going to an itallian place and order flaming sagnaki, sounds exotic but it's actually just melted cheese and pita bread, they'll usually bring it out and make it at the table, pour liquor on the cheese then light it on fire shouting "opah" a bit of a show if you will, always fun, and the fire burns away the alcohol leaving the taste /flavor with the cheese
ReplyDeleteand as for movie, Resident Evil was really good but you could pick just about anything.
Aw really cute gift ideas. Easier this year to pick them? Happy Birthday to Theresa!
ReplyDeleteTheresa sounds cool as hell. I think she will love your gifts. You put a lot of thought into them, and they are very unique. I think she will appreciate the effort.
ReplyDeleteBelated
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Theresa

ReplyDeleteYou are the man! Love the LOLCat, I am totally stealing that. Seriously, cool post for a lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteAwwww Happy Birthday to Theresa!!! Whatever you get her, I'm sure she'll love it!! Yay! take care

Awww how adorable! Happy Birthday to Theresa!
ReplyDeleteYou're the kind of boyfriend I want to be once I upgrade from invisible women to the real kind. Unique finds are hard to pick out, but you've got the knack.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Theresa! (You are a good friend)! I should get a laptop cooler too :/
ReplyDeleteThis thing ate my comment :( I was saying happy birthday to Theresa and that you were a good friend. Thanks for the reminder about getting a laptop cooler. Mine gets hot like hell ^.~
