Session 2 | December 11th | Video
Well, well. Things are certainly festive around here, which reminds me. Christmas shopping.
It's December 11th today. That means there's only 13 days left. I'll also lay odds that in about a week, the network is going to be flooded by your standard, frantic man-child posting poorly filtered messages about how he has no idea what to get his significant other, partner... whatever.
Good thing I'm here. I'm going to cut this hot mess off at the pass.
I've taken the liberty of making a list of appropriate gifts and broken it down according to skill. You're welcome.
Level One: This is for beginners. Even the most helpless among you should be able to get it right.
Liquor
Chocolates
Flowers
Handmade crap - It doesn’t matter if what you make totally sucks. The thought behind it is appreciated. Usually. Some people like that kind of stuff.
Level Two: Okay, choosing from this list means that you have actually listened to you significant other, partner, or whatever at some point.
Tickets to something your someone special likes
Jewelry
Liquor [Yep. It's on there twice.]
Perfume or cologne
A day at the spa
Clothing is a danger zone. If you are a guy buying for a girl, and you have no idea what the hell you’re doing, under no circumstances should you buy clothing. Ever. Even if she held your hand, pointed out what she liked, and your eyes did not glaze over with boredom, don’t do it. You will get the size wrong, you will get the color wrong. In fact you will probably buy a sweatshirt with appliquéd mittens on the front when all she wanted was a cashmere scarf.
And don’t even get me started on lingerie. That red satin bra set with the white fur trim and jingle bell tassels is really not as “awesome” as you think it is.
Any questions?
