    Hi all,

    In a little bit of a bother here, regarding a present for my girlfriend.

    Basically she returns this weekend after a year living abroad - and as such, wanted to get her something really special, which I thought I did; we're both huge Bruce Springsteen fans, and I THOUGHT I had secured 2 ticekts for us to go see him next Summer in Limerick. Turns out the person who I had trusted with the get me the tickets that day didn't get them for me (I was in work, and couldn't log on myself).

    So unfortunately I am now left with no present for her, despite the fact that I wanted this years present to be extra special.

    Anyone got any last minute ideas for a nice gift? I can tell her what happened, and she'll understand, but still, would like to have SOMETHING to give to her after a year away!

    Cheers

    I know its not the same as Bruce Springsteen tickets but what about a Ticketmaster voucher so that she can pick a special gig to go to and if budget allow put together a little hamper of stuff she would have missed while living away.

    Aw no dude that sucks. Me and bf are huge fans too, I had tickets but when I got to confirmation page it crashed :( Himself is trying to get his hands on a pair .... Here's hoping!
    What is she into? What about tickets to another gig and book a nice hotel for the night?

    A romantic weekend away together, after her year away ;) maybe a couples massage at the spa while you're there.

    Or how about a romantic meal at mcnean house in blacklion (nevin mcguires restaurant) with an overnight stay in his beautiful B&b. Its pricey but worth every cent.

    Cheers lads, all great ideas.

    Was some sickener alright, as I was so looking forward to seeing him myself!

    Will try to sort something alright, at least I have a few evenings now to sort something.

    Cheers everyone

    God that is nasty!! Are they all sold out for Cork too..You should so chance ringing the local radio station and asking is there any chance of tickets..They will have a set amout for them...

    You can never go wrong with a nice bunch of flowers for when you see her, and well coming from a womans side just take some time out to spend alone with her to catch up..Cook a nice dinner (not away somewhere if she has family that is twill be too mad) but at home or where ever and have a nice chilled evening..

    Get her favourite DVD, chocs if she likes or snack..Pair of those microwave sleeps and a catch up evening..

    How disappointing! I hope you get something sorted.

    A nice teddy and put something with it like a bottle of perfume or a box of sweets or a voucher or a piece of jewellery or something else.

    Quick fix, why not make a hamper basket- easier than sounds

    Buy a basket, fill it up with chocs, teddy, perfurme, cd's/ book/yankee cadles/ spirits etc: or anything else personal to you, ;)
    Go to a florist get some sellaphane (sp) plastic and cover it up.

    If in rush just go to a few shops and get whatever bits, the presentation factor gives it the wow factor more than the actual gifts as can add in whatever:cool:
