Best Make-Up Gifts-Flowers? Jewelry?

Hmmm...when you are married so many years, those make up gifts, I think, stop coming as often.  I may need to reinstate that policy!  
Back in the day, though, my husband used to get me flowers, sometimes, when he would get in trouble.

Oh boy...Tiger Woods is going to have to get a huge make up gift for wife, Elin for his "transgressions"

I'm replaying the whole Kobe Bryant incident...I'm picturing a huge ring on Elin finger, oh so very soon.  

In the past I've received rings (gold I might add) that I think it's time to sell!! :)

lol...Hi Sarah I think you may be onto something there.

It's funny you should mention that since Sears recently launched a gold buyback program. If you scroll to the bottom of the jewelry page on the left you will see the link for ProGold Network. If you're interested check them out - they have the best payout in the business!

I personally have been wearing more silver lately...and I find I can get more bang for my buck with some of the silver and gemstone/silver and diamond looks. So i have been dropping not so subtle hints to the boyfriend in that direction these days... : )

My employer once said, "repeat after me: Thank you for the jewelry. It doesn't change anything."  I am a happy single woman and jewelry sells very nicely in any economy.

Funny, funny. I hope tiger is reading your jewelry blog!

I just had a misunderstanding about my fiance and his commitment that he has just made. He went home after the heat of the moment and started having butterflies because he hasn't been married before (I have)  So on the phone he discussed feeling funny because it was a new feeling. I thought it was a breaking up feeling, like he just couldn't go through with it again. (we had a promise ring relationship before this) Then he thought about being apart and couldn't do that either. So, he made up his mind to go for it, and brought me roses (3) and a chocolate bar (king  sized) lol.

Cant believe you deleted my post. I'll be more like the relationships youre looking for.

Yeah I am a guy and I can tell you, nothing he says does or thinks means anything if hes not spending money on yuo. If you get in a fight he should buy you jewelry, if he doesnt like that same chick flick you like he shoudl buy you jewelry or chocolate because youll never be in a real relationship unless hes spending money on you constantly.

Is that what you want?

I enjoy buying my gf victoria secret gcs when we get in fights.

I got in a fight with my wife over her weight (300lbs).

I thought the perfect makeup gift would be a treadmill, boy was I wrong....

I have been married for almost 25 years. When our relationship was new and we would get mad at each other rmy husband would send me flowers at work. My best memory was once he left a small gift in each room of my apartment. He called and told me to look in each room. He even put a gift in the frig. I forgot what the fight was about. It was very special. After all these years I still remember how thoughtful that was and it still makes me smile.........

Don't think flowers will be enough if it's a serious problem. Jewelry is good but something personal I think would be better.

Hilarious!

Ok...I'm pretty sure the treadmill took you to a whole new tier of make-up gift needed! : )

As for jewelry or something personal....what about personalized jewelry! Ha! : )

ILoveSears111,  I'm positive that the treadmill would have worked IF you had said, Honey I bought this for US and we can work on this together! :)  That way she won't be so offended with her feelings that you are singling her out and maybe think you are Mr. Perfect.  People will always be on the defensive if they think they are being attacked for being heavier than they should be. Ex.- my mother would get onto me because I was overweight, mostly at the dinner table. She would always watch what I ate and how much, then she would start in. When she did that I ALWAYS ate more just because she was getting onto me again! Now she is not around, and guess what? I'm eating more of the right kinds of foods, weigh less than I did and don't feel resentment anymore.

Ok, most of these ideas are if the guy is in the wrong, and needs to bring the girl a gift.  What if it's the other way around?  What if the girl is the one needing to "make-up"?  What do I get him?  I know that we still need to discuss, and talk about our problem.  But, I still want to get him something.

Ideas?

Hi quikchic - so, men tend to be in the wrong (well, most women would think so) which would explain why most of the above ideas are for men.

Gift for men all depends on the guy.  If he's into jewelry or accessories, a nice watch, bracelets, cuff links, and/or wallet is good.

Another option would be to buy something related to a hobby or past time he enjoys.  For example, if he's into golf, maybe a club or golf balls.

Finally, you could also set up an activity he loves to do.  For example, set up a day of golfing for him with the boys.  Let him have poker night at the house.  If he likes cars, take him out to a car show in the area.

One thing not to do is to send flowers to his office or workplace.  As nice it is for women to receive flowers at work, this is definitely not the same for men.  I speak from experience, the teasing at work went on for months.  She had to get another gift to "make up" for her "make up"

Tell your Boyfirend to Check out the new Shapes of the City jewlery Collection I just saw on the Sears website, they have a lot of beautiful Silver Jewlery!

type Shapes of the city in the search box!  : )

Ah Haaa...I see my prior thread was deleted_LOL!

I'll try to tame this one.

My first marriage,my honey would always give me a dozen long stem roses.Then we would have a very fond amorous time;-)

My second marriage,when I was in the dog house per say...I would bake them a big batch of homemade gourmet cookies and add a giant bouquet of fresh picked wildflowers along with them. Then we would share in a very fond amorous time together.

My third marriage when we made up. We would take a trip to the sea shore have a very nice dinner out and then hit a happening club. All followed by a very fond and amorous time together.

Always worked well-always will work well. Making up is the best part about breaking up...Justa fact;-)
