Some Things You Do NOT Want to Hear Your Girlfriend Say When She Opens Your Christmas Present

Ah, Christmas gift buying. The very simple activity that fuels 80% of our retail industry in Decembers. I did a post a few days ago, but since I just finished buying Christmas presents for my friends, I’m so inclined to write another post.

Well, there hundred of articles telling you what to buy your girlfriend / boyfriend for Christmas, I thought I’d write about stuff NOT to buy. Hah. You wouldn’t expect anything less from this blog, right?

Some Things You Do NOT Want to Hear Your Girlfriend Say When She Opens Your Christmas Present

• ”Wow. A hundred ringgit voucher for a slimming centre. Gee, you think I’m fat?”
• ”This Mont Blanc pen is so beautiful. It must have cost you a lot of dosh, darling. Too bad you spelled my name wrongly on the engraving.”
• ”Oh, please. I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing this dress, dear. It makes me look like your mother.”
• ”A book! And so thick! No pictures inside? Do I have to read it?”
• ”Oh, wow! My favourite movie on DVD! I love it! Maybe next year you can actually buy me a DVD player since I don’t have one.”
• ”I’m sorry, the necklace is beautiful, but I can’t accept it. Any necklace that isn’t pure gold gives me a horrible rash.”
• ”This is the third watch you given me this year. Are you a regular shopper at Petaling Street?”
