Sales pitch to the GF

[georgekaplan1]

What is the best way for one to convince his girlfriend that he is not crazy and obsessed and that they should seriously consider getting him a Semogue (830, 1305, or 620) for his birthday?

When she asks what you want, just tell her that's what you want. And, don't mention anything else.

Other than that, you can't do anything. Just wait and see!

I'm married, but what I do is order the brush and give the unopened package to my wife telling her it's her birthday present for me. My wife is happy that all she has to do is wrap something. She hates having to figure out what to buy me and she feels better about it knowing I don't get to see it until my birthday. Plus she knows she won't have to return something I don't want.

Can you PM me your telephone number?! You definitely need to explain that idea to my wife!!
The question is does your wife do the same with your present to her?!? If I tried this idea I would have to seriously keep a check on bank statements...!

Explain that while you know little about perfume etc. you would happily buy her something she had mentioned she likes. You don't have to use it to appreciate how much she would like it and vice versa. Tell her you would like it and would be very happy to receive it as a gift.

Now I tried something similar to this last Christmas, regarding perfumes. I asked the simple question "So which ones would you like this year?". I was given a list of 3, of which 2 sounded more emphasised when their names were spoken. So I dutifully headed to our local department store and approached the Clinique counter thinking I was going to make a straightforward 'gift set' purchase. £85.00 later I realised this was not straightforward...
I then proceeded to the Chanel counter - as I had decided that my wife's request was for 2 perfume purchases. Now I know enough about her to know which Chanel perfume is her favourite. I asked the sales girl for a 50ml EDT of my wife's favourite perfume. "I am sorry sir but we have sold out of that size. We do have a 100ml bottle left". Another £90.00 later.....
Now these were only 2 purchases made - the 'wish list' was much longer. I don't want to scare any of you with final costs!
Now can you see why I have no hair in my avatar?!?!

I think I can answer this one, as long as you are willing to make some sacrifices. It takes four steps.

1. Take one of your cheaper brushes, I chose my first Omega Boar. Then do this to it.


2. Offer it to her and let her pick one of your soaps, whichever she likes the smell of most. Don't worry, you won't lose your Tabac

3. When she asks "why all this"? Simply say that you were hoping that after your B-day you would have a Semogue brush (and some new soap), you don't want this old favourite of yours to get neglected when that one shows. (Resist the urge to use your original boar again, it is hers now)

4. Remember her B-day!

Son, Change that or to an and. Now we're talking.

Of course not. That would make it too easy for me. I don't even get a list. I'm left to wing it.

Your birthday wish list is the one thing you don't need to justify!
