Worst Christmas Idea...Ever

Now that his girlfriend is available, I hope she finds a guy that actually has a decent sense of humor, instead of a sadistic one. I woulda walked out of his life right then. A freaking BEST BUY gift card? His taste is horrible!!!
 
showed my girl that, she lol'ed and said she wouldn't mind that cuz best buy gift cards are awesome :D
 
hahaha

a bust buy giftcard.

so sad.

a $100 GC, with only $50 real buying power. Shit there is expensive!

how about a $100 monstercable for ya ?!
 
Looks like whoever did this is going to be sleeping on the couch indefinitely. I gave my girlfriend jewelry in one of those Onion fake product boxes (USB Toaster). Let me tell you if there wasn't jewelry inside I would have been in real trouble!
 
I did something similar with my wife's engagement ring. We both went to Dunkin Donuts to get some donuts and coffee. The cashier put 2 donuts in the bag and I pulled a quicky to drop the ring in their. She pulled out the ring as we started to eat the donuts. She looked shocked(happy) and I told her that was for my girlfriend. She was like WTF! I started to see the flames in her eyes and that's when I asked her who my girlfriend was. Then popped the question. 10years later we are living happily ever after with 3 kids.

The flame in her eyes really scared me though:eek:

I pulled a stunt similar to that last year....only it was just a note to go make me a sammich.

she laughed, and said make it yourself.

we're still married, so I guess I'm in the clear.

I would say you've certainly married the right one. ;)

Perhaps the whole thing was part of the joke and he have another proper gift hidden away?

This year, though, apparently the design went mass market; so I got her a replacement for only $400. And it has a bigger diamond than the original! (We were both unemployed at the time.)

Hey man, you don't have to justify the price! $400 rings serve their purpose just as well as $5000 rings do. :)
 
while most statistics are made up, I bet by FAR, the largest majority of even happily married men would tell young guys NOT TO GET MARRIED.

Your chances of keeping it happy for life are slim. Hell I recommend not even shacking up, with all the common law marriages and shit it almost never works out for the guy. ALMOST never. I guess if you find yourself a sugar momma it would be OK :).

As far as this prank goes, it is pretty juvenile.

Still, if she didn't think it was funny or at least didn't let it roll off as no big deal, then ditch the bitch -- find another. I suppose it is situational though, if you're not constantly being a joker then it might seem really crude. She should probably start letting you think you're going to get laid, get you all riled up, and then she throws you some KY or whatever and a playboy and leaves. :>

Exactly. As long as you're not being a cheap loser, then price should not matter to her. A good way to find out early is go shopping for rings so you can "find out what she likes". If she gravitates towards expensive shit... get rid of her then. I mean literally, right inside the store :).
 
This person obviously doesn't get (most) women. I mean to toss a jewelers box in there is a BAD move. Women take that stuff seriously. It it would of been a empty bottle of perfume or perhaps a GPS box or something, maybe you could get away with it. And worst of all...to document the event and post it online. Embarrassing! The only way to get back in her good graces is to be sure to have something of real value for her.

This person fails @ girlfriend.

For another dude...great gag gift.
 
wow.

Amy would leave me. Literally seconds after she opened the box she would walk out the door.
 
i hope the creator doesnt mind if rip off his idea but il be putting a ring instead of a note :D
 
Great way to get kicked in the nuts and dumped.... My girlfriend would kill me if I pulled that one.:eek:

Because they like common gems made to seem rare by a cartel led by Debeers? ;)

The De Beers syndicate has warehouses full of diamonds.High prices are due to anti-competitive behavior, monopolistic practices, collusion, etc.. The only reason women want them is due to marketing. You can get better quality diamonds made in a lab.
 
If she can't take a joke then fuck her. Make of that statement what you will. ;p
 
I understand playing on some females emotions is wrong, but if this was me I would be counting my blessings. I mean seriously if a girl can't take a joke, even to the level of this caliber than I don't want her. Hell I told my girlfriend on the way from work Christmas eve that I was breaking up with her & listed some crazy reasons. That next 15minutes was nothing, but crying. It all stopped when a room full of presents with her name on it was staring her in the face. Granted I apologized for the terrible joke, but I told myself I wouldn't do that again & we've been together for almost 5 years now. A real women would have laughed it off & stuck by the man, for better or for worst.
 
Hey now my buddy did something like this and she said yes. it was awesome. Now my buddy will be my cousin in law. SWEET!
 
I remember one xmas when my late father got my mom a HUGE box and put like 60 littler boxes in it. Some had gift cards, money, some small gifts, ect.
She couldn't figure out what he was doing and if that's all it was till she found the $2000 ring he had taped to the bow and which like most people put aside first.
Was really awsome to see my mom's face tho when she found it. My dad used to do crazy stuff like that all the time.
(Of course they were married about 42 years when he died so got harder to top each xmas....:D)

I'm always surprised when women say they'd rather have a less attractive, smaller flawed diamond over a flawless one, simply because it came from a mine....and I think the extra cost is a factor. The high price makes the mined diamond seem like it's better than it is. And frankly, most people think Diamonds are rare.
 
Aside from highjacking the thread with a diamond cartel conversation ;)

Could you imagine if your girlfriend/wife took the time to locate and procure two GTX580 boxes and then filled them with a estimated weight of said cards. Wrapped them up for you and gave them to you as a gift. You open said gift only to find the weights and two $10.00 gift cards to Best Buy. How would that make you feel? Would you get a good belly laugh out that one? Maybe at first. But, after awhile I would imagine it would begin to bother you. It would me.

Gag gifts are great friends, and maybe new relationships. But a real shitty idea for a serious committed relationship.

Two 580 GTXs would be a $1000+ gift. A ring could be of any value. The value of that Best Buy gift card could have been more than the value of an inexpensive ring.

So it would come down to expectations. Did she expect a small token of affection, or is she greedy and expected an overly expensive diamond.
 
I got a best buy gift card for Christmas ($50 on the card) and I was annoyed though. I said "Ya I appreciate it!" while thinking to myself that they should have given me cash instead. I fucking hate gift cards for Christmas. "We don't know what to get you so we got you a gift card" especially when A) it's a vendor I hate shopping from B) Has shit options.
 
All I'm trying to say is the gag gift should never be tried on someone your romantically involved with (aka someone you care about). The odds of it being a success is small. And the odds of it blowing up in your face is great.

It seems that mostly men see the over-pricing and artificial rarity of diamonds as being a problem. To most women. It doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts with them. Most would see that gag gift as a translation of their relationship with the giver as a joke.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend for a reason.

BTW, if you put it in a bling box, it damned well better be real bling.

For what reason? That a processed diamond is shiny? Glass has the same effect bro.

You sound a bit like a tard, so I'm saying this to any inexperienced people out there that get a wrong idea from the dumbassery spewed from stuff like this.

Sure, if this was a proposition turned gag gift I can see a woman getting upset. But if they're already married or something, which is what I'm assuming from this, there is no sound reason for your woman to get upset unless she's a materialistic scumbag, high maintenance, whatever.

Almost no one should ever expect they have to keep their ladies around with expensive jewelry or whatever unless you're a retard or extremely ugly and fat. And that bit someone said about a ring representing a lifetime, what a laugh. Most marriages don't last more than a few years these days bro. Almost the entire western world has a 40-50% divorce rate.

Good job guys, turn a hilariously horrible joke into a damn diamond debate...

My girlfriend sees the same thing regarding diamonds. So she's fine with me getting something for her like moissanite, white sapphire, or whatever. She doesn't like the idea of blood diamonds at all.

This site pretty much convinced her http://diamondssuck.com/
