Ennaatha tharuvenungo...


I don't understand who introduced the culture of expressing affection by giving a gift :-/ Ada...birthday-na poi wish panna pathadha? Oru surprise gift thandhe aaganuma? Idhai endha kaalathula introduce pannanga therila, these days it doesn't feel whole if we can't gift someone with something.

Mathavangana kooda ok, romba close makkaluku choose panradhukulla oru mandai kudaichal iruke....it goes to the extent of giving you a high BP when you can't find something that would justify the surprise.

I think guys are more lucky, nammaluku vangi tharanumna they can choose from a wide variety of things like dresses to jewellery. But naama enna panradhu? I mean, what can you get a guy? I got into this fix with my husband this time. They got only 3 kinds of dresses - t-shirts/shirts/jeans. Adhula kooda variety kidayadhu, so ethanai thadavai can you get shirts/t-shirts? Seri adhu vendamnu perfume, bracelet ellam mudicha appuram I just could not guess a new thing!! They don't use cosmetics, you can't get them more jewellery, erkaneve nalla mobile irukkara manushanuku what else can you get? Edho girls-na teddy bear/jeans/skirt/t-shirt/shirt/saree/salwar/sleeveless/short sleeves/long sleeves (nammalukudhan idhulaye niraya designer wear/models ellam kidaikudhe!)/jewellery/cosmetics/more jewellery/more more jewellery....evalo iruku?? Why on earth are guys are so cursed that they don't have variety?

Seri ok-nu I purchased a blue tooth headset...adhula best brand thedardhukkulla naan patta paadu!! I finally got one hoping to all Gods that he likes it. That nice salesperson didn't want to offer me a refund just in case, so all I got is this or some other in lieu of this. Iraiva iraiva-nu vendikitte when I presented my husband with the gift on his b'day, he liked it (Wooohooo!!))

Aana, ellame seriya nadandhutta how will the kodumai site grow? The next day he tried to charge it, and it never got charged even after 12 hrs!! Idhu ennada vamba pochunu poi salesperson kitta ketta, he tried with another kit and even that didn't work!. And he started marketing another brand to me..dei, dei...adangu da, edho irundhu irundhu idhai pidichiruku-nu solrar, adhaiyum enda kedukareenga?? So I insisted on getting the same brand, and finally got one after a week, and it worked superb and my husband was so happy!!

Vetri vetri-nu oru naal perumai-la kokkarichirupen, the next day he just does not want to use the kit...it gives him the earpain :( Now no refund, only a bluetooth headset that my husband does not want to use, and me...

Gifting to husband is not a deal, as you know what he has and hasn't.
Anyway, Best to your hubby though, belated

watch is a good jewellery for men..

if the man is a manager type, cuff links and fancy pens (mont blanc, dupont, dunhill)

card holders or wallets with name printed...

I would have suggested you to write the blog first next time before the birth day... comments like this can give you idea(s)

haha good one. I always give receipt with the gift to my wife because 99% chance for exchange or refund (Thanks to Argos). I can not advice you to give gift voucher to your partner, i feel it does not make any sense.
