Clueless male needs help

[yugdlo]

Ok, I have a provider friend who has a birthday coming up and I'd like to get her something. Gift cards and cash just seem lame. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow. Just noticed I'm a valued poster. I'm getting all misty eyed. No ones ever called me valued. Lol.

Does she have a wishlist on her website?

Also, most ladies I know LOVE giftcards so, don't think they are lame. We totally appreciate them. Maybe she has some of her favorite places to shop listed on her site and you can choose something from there. Then, she can buy whatever she wants with the card.

Either way, a giftcard is always a great gesture. What about a gift certificate to a spa in her area where she can pamper herself?...

I agree with Evie. Depending on the type of lady she is she may want the spa or a gift card or if you know things about her that she has spoke of go from there. I mean even us ladies need things from places like Home Depot. Or maybe she would like something from Hobby Lobby. I like getting gift cards but from only a few places so .... Maybe some flowers to go with that gift card delivered to her somewhere or something like that.

Or I know myself I like it when a gentleman takes me shopping. I don't know if this is something that is possible for you but if so a nice lunch and shopping are great for me.

If she likes going to the theatre you might get tickets for something like that or some other event she might like. I am sure whatever you do she will be very pleased. Sometimes it is not what the gift is but the thought behind it.

Thank you ladies. I guess great minds do think a like. I was thinking spa also. Oh and Dallas I'm still your #1 fan. Have you ever had a groupy before? Thank you Natale on the congrats, still can't believe someone finds me valued. I've got a long way to go to catch up with Dallas on post though. And Evie, Columbia is still waiting. Lol.

With all due respect, it's a counting statistic, not a rate statistic (think "hits" vs. "batting average" if you don't catch the distinction immediately); once you hit a certain number of postings (either 50 or 100, I can't remember) you are a "valued poster". It's automatic (the board software does it automagically once you hit the required number of postings), and isn't any sort of value judgment; the same number of posts gets you to "valued poster" regardless of whether they convey The Wisdom of the Ages, they contain complete bullshit, or they're just that many "me, too!" posts..

That changes once you qualify for PA, and simply becomes either "Premium Access" (if you earn it with (a) qualifying review(s), or if you buy short-term PA), or "Lifetime Premium Access" if you cough up enough cash for Lifetime PA. However, one of the perks of having PA is that this becomes editable, and you can substitute whatever clever witticism you want for the boring "Premium Access"/"Lifetime Premium Access" if you so desire.

Sorry to burst your bubble like that, but I believe in facing life as it is, not as we want it to be.

Cheers,

Dallas has several thousand (if not tens of thousands) "#1 fans". You'd have a hard time finding a venue big enough to accommodate y'all if the bunch of you decided to have a convention.

We already have one lined up. Dallas' incall room and we are going to have a mass body worship of her and whisper sweet and naughty things in her ear.
