    Birthday present

    Bought my gf a birthday present recently (a new Kindle), but her birthday is still two weeks away.

    I spotted her looking at purchasing the same exact model herself today. What the bloody hell do I do to stop her buying it without giving it away??

    Always an awkward situation, with not wanting to blow the surprise.

    Perhaps a little fib, telling her there's a new model coming out in a couple of weeks which would be better?

    Late tonight after a couple of wines (and you have cooked tea) tell her and sit back and await glorious all access gratitude sex.

    It is quite possible that I am not living in the real world ........

    Tell her you wanted to get her a kindle for her birthday and you noticed her eyeing one up the other day and didn't want her to buy it just in case. If there's any drama... end it there and then and buy yourself a new kindle.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    My Missus got a Kindle a few months ago, had a lot of trouble reading it due to glare from the sun so .... she's gone back to the library and reading normal books again, much happier.

    Sorry mate, just being subjective

    And you don't get that new print smell off a Kindle - neither is it the same when you fall asleep reading and it hits your face.

    When I was a kid it was my job to get the kindling in for the morning fire - is that the same kinda thing? - Totara was the best wood to kindle! (IMHO)

    Tell her you fucked her sister but youll do anything to make it up to her.

    That should keep her mind off a kindle for at least 2 weeks.






    Or you could tell her that Harvey norman is having them on a massive special next month and to hold off - your call
