    Do you think it actually takes people longer to write a sentence in text speak? It takes me longer anyway :o

    Anyhoo, yeah i like that idea a lot. If she's a fan of Irish she should love it.

    It might be best if you work on your English before trying to tackle another language.

    You should have it say 'Luvs ya' and don't forget the 'u' and all important 's' instead of Love.

    I am going to start an anti-text-speak federation!

    /joke

    I think the locket is a nice idea, with one picture inside? Get her a kama sutra book aswell :D:D

    That was my first thought as well, but if they're both crazy about each other she'll probably like it. Lolz, I wonder if it's their 2-week anniversary?

    Its a lovely idea and I'm sure she will love the thought and effort gone into picking such a nice gift.

    Personally I would go with the "my love" inscription. "My Friend" just doesn't go far enough for GF/BF situation and "my life" is a bit OTT. IMO.

    Definately "my love", I agree.

    I think it's sweet idea, good on you!

    Nice idea. Especially like the whole not putting her name on it so it can be reused if the opportunity arises. (Wish I'd thought of that a couple of years ago...)

    How about 'Do mháthair'? :P (Or 'do mham')

    Get something with a fada in it. They look cool engraved.

    I like 'mo stór' but I think you could think of something better.

    Really "mo stór" is more commonly interpreted as "my pet/dear/etc..." (or so I always thought) I'd have thought "mo ghrá" would be a stronger term of endearment? Or "mo chuisle"?
