Once again, I am lost. I can't be bike related. No books either. My clothing taste is apparently pathetic, so no point going there. My wife is buying bigger ticket jewelry, so I'm looking for something smallish: $30-50. She's going to be freshly back from 1st term at university so she's going to somewhat artsy/rebellious. Help me out fellas.
Gift certificate to a tattoo shop?
I have no idea, I'd say beats by dre headphones but they are expensive.

It's my 19 year old's favorite Chanukah present this year.
Granted she's a few years older, but I just picked up one of these for my sig. other. I believe Darren has one, or something similar, in black.Quote:

fuck that. get her a record player and a copy of the damned's first album. don't explain....but if you need to, tell her this totally awesome old guy you know on the interweb said you'd love it.

I like the down vest but no vinyl for her. I'm the vinyl guy. I've subjected her to BTO, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, Bauhaus and the Who and she's like "meh".Quote:

FookinA, you too? ... Up the bucks a little and get her a chunky colorful stupid looking BabyG watch. That's what I did for my ostensibly adult's 18th a month ago. It was a hit, with her and her friends (which was probably far more important than what she actually thought of it).
She subjects me to pure shit music on a regular basis; so I subject her to the Clash. At least she's developing a grudging appreciation for the Smiths (and I'm taking her to the Morrissey show in Denver in Feb .. we were supposed to see him on her 18th bday in November, but he postponed because his mommy in dear old England was sick. I don't have a problem with that.)
18 year old daughters are both agony and ecstasy. Mostly one, or the other. If I don't want to murder mine, I want to hold her tight.
Good luck.
Take her out to dinner and give her your gift at dinner; ice cream together afterward. What you give her will matter less but let it be something that you thought of however small so long as it shows thought. She will remember the night and probably the gift too.
Both daughters also like their babyG. The only issue is color is subjective. They both have White Series.Quote:
