I've debated doing that as a joke for Princesca, but she'd figure it out the second I walked in the room and I'd get kicked in the balls. :Embarrass:

Maybe I'll take a picture of my dick and put it in a box. :hmm:

I just check her clothes.  I did it a couple times without it being too disastrous.  But now I just buy her shiny things.
Princesca doesn't like jewelry and hardly ever wears it, which is too bad because it means I have to put actual thought in to buying her presents. :(

That's the highway to the danger zone right there, son.  "Honey, what's your dress size?"

I just check her clothes.  I did it a couple times without it being too disastrous.  But now I just buy her shiny things.

But clothes from different stores and designers fit differently.

No - buying clothes is a minefield.  If you buy her clothes that are two small, you'll make her feel fat.  If you buy clothes that are too large, she'll think you think she is fat.

But they tend to have a small number of stores they prefer.  My wife loves Macy's so I would buy clothes for her there.

But yeah good point about the size thing  :ph34r:

How many of you guys are not afraid to buy clothes for your wife/girlfriend? I used to be. Still wouldn't buy some things. Like jeans, for example. Too hard to get right without trying them on. How many of you actually know their dress size off the top of your head?   :P

I never, and I mean never, buy her clothes. -_-

Yes. Under no circumstances do this. Shoes are fine - welcome, even - but never, ever clothes. The one possible exception is a winter coat.

Yeah, gotta concur.  Even if you navigate past the size minefield, I just don't see someone who's a man being able to understand the style of attire being worn by women.

There's that, too.

I'd prefer diamonds. Both are shriveled, lifeless and hard as stone, but diamonds I could sell on.

If not a 00, only potato sacks are appropriate anyway.

The size thing is obvious, but even straight guys can have a sense of style and what they would like if they pay enough attention. You might have ideas she hadn't considered too. People can get stuck in a rut when it comes to stuff like this.

Princesca's gonna love what I ended up getting her this year (and I won't mention it in case she reads this thread).  I think it'll be as badass as my present for her last year--a car GPS, which she uses constantly and mentions whan an OSSUM gift it was all the time.

I do have a sense of style but I also have a sense of laziness and cheapness which usually prevents me from actually being stylish.  But for whatever reason I do a pretty decent job picking out stuff for her.
