Isn't a blogger allowed to take a couple of days off anymore without getting hassled by her reader to add a new post? Anyway (fanfare) here it is.I decided I was a bit unfair to men the other day about their present-buying prowess. It's good of them to keep trying when we're so hard to please, after all, and it's not their fault they keep getting it wrong. And with only four weeks to go till Christmas I don't want to end up with nothing from my disgruntled husband. So here are some examples of presents from men who got it right.
A day trip to France. Big deal, you might say - but incredibly exciting for this young mother who found a trip to the shops without her toddler a huge treat.
An iPod. Pretty obvious, maybe, but not for this mother of four on her 40th birthday. It made her feel fun, funky and reassuringly young.
Expensive face creams. She knew he was horrified at the inflated price - but the fact that he bought them anyway made her feel great.
A table football machine. He bought it because it was one of the few games she beat him at, so it was wonderfully unselfish. Of course once it was installed in the house he improved dramatically, and was beating her in no time.
A website. Yep, that's right - domain name, contract, live pages about the woman's business - the lot. This gift had everything: it took loads of time and trouble and it was all about her. And it was also fairly cheap.
