christmas gifting thread

Why would you buy her anything? Is she going to buy you something?

Normal people exchange gifts with loved ones

OP that sounds like a great idea hopefully she'll like but Hemingway is actually very talented

so she doesn't care about reading
you want her to read more
so her X-mas present is a book.
yes it's a bad idea.

here's a comparison
my boyfriend likes Magic the Gathering
I don't really care for MtG, but I don't dislike it
so if he wants me to play MtG more,
he gets a Christmas present for me that is a starter's kit to MtG
my reaction would probably be: What The Fuck

why?
because it's not a gift for her. it's a gift for you.
it's you pushing what you like onto her
instead of actually getting her something SHE likes
it's just selfish.

put more thought into what your girlfriend actually likes, not what you like.

He was doing a pretty good job. OP sounds like a pretentious faggot. There's nothing wrong with Hemingway or Vonnegut. OP probably thinks Bukowski is good reading.

well don't make her CHRISTMAS PRESENT a book!!!
you can give her the book too (don't bother splurging on a "nice" copy cuz she won't really care/appreciate it since she isn't into books)
but get her something that you KNOW she'll like

like ok what are her interests?
