We have only been exclusive for only a few months so I'm not going to set the bar too high. Budget $150-$200.
She is a fitness buff. She likes wine. She is in sales so she drives a lot.
I am not even going to attempt to buy her clothes because she is a fashion conscious size 2.
She has an Ipod so I have already settled on this:
Nike + iPod
I need some ideas. Nothing like waiting until the last minute...
And while you are at it, share what you are getting your significant other.

I got my wife one of them iPod shuffles for when she goes running. she already has a nano or whatever, but wants the lil clip-on, tiny thing. I also got her a nicer digital camera . she's going from a 3 mp to a 7mp. all the extra cards, etc. Plus I spent a grip on new family pics. I better get some good shit.

How come you didn't rack the trolls on your first post?

Sounds like she would enjoy some of Uncle 'Fold's Root Remedy.

I am a seasoned poster, this is just a troll - which is why I didn't rack myself.

Jewelry always works in a situation like this. No rings of any kind, but something like a necklace or a pendant would be money for you.

Excellent point B_S, but I don't know what kind of quality jewerly one can get for $150 - $200.
That, and pendants are for old ladies. My girl is in her early 30's.

That thought crossed my mind but she just cancelled her XM because she didn't like it. She listens to books on disc. I would get her a book on disc, but she is a memebr to a Net Flix type of books on disc club where she gets an unlimited amount of disc books for $20.00 a month. Figures...

If you can't find a properly priced necklace, then work some earrings. Now is not the time to be picky. Your future oral sex depends on this.

Word. Earrings in her birthstone should be in your price range. Plus, it'll look like you put some thought into it.

The best gift you could possibly give her is her freedom.

Photographic memory/spreadsheet. Tomato/tomahto.
Bsmack, lock the windows and doors and bring the OL's pet bunny inside, lest you find it boiling on the stove when you return home.

Last minute shopping does not automatically equal thoughtlessness. Plenty of social engineering goes into executing a good last minute shopping trip. However, our friend Viper has obviously arrived at a critical mental block in his gift buying process. It's more than likely too late for him to properly fish for that perfect gift buying idea, which means he's got to stick to the tried and true winners.

Anything from Coach.com will be a good gift.

Buy her the whole Chia Pet collection, always a winner.
Ginsu knives for the kitchen, they also come in handy for trimming trees and shrubbery.
or
a Clapper is pretty cool

Funny you should say this. Apparently, they've really branched out.
We had a Yankee Swap yesterday. I got stuck with a Scooby Fucking Doo Chia.
Okay... so I loved it... but still.

Over in the new forum, I'm giving out commemorative Atomic Punk Bobble Eye Dolls to the first 23 visitors. I could prolly snag you an extra if you want.

Office Professional with Access runs - $600
SQL Server -$1000
Some dipshit implying that someone who "knows what they're doing" would pony up that kind of scratch to track message board minutae - priceless

Yeah, because my body is simply riddled with Alzheimer's at age 35. :roll'em:

Ok, back to the subject at hand.
No chia pets.
Coach.com is out of my price range.
I am not going the gift card route.
I have found a set of birthstone earrings for $60 that is a possible purhase.
She is artistic, so that is another route to go.
She is really into red wines.
She is a workout freak who has an 30 gig iPod.
Help a brutha out. The reindeer can fuck off in advance.

Charles just told me that Food Lion is having a sale on red wine. Its $7.99 a box so you could get her 18 - 25 of them with your budget. (LOL)

It was a joke. Do you really think I:
1. bought something to track T1B data?
2. use anything beyond my memory to track T1B data?
Did I mention only retards use spreadsheets as "databases", retard? That was the joke. I am glad you took the time to go price out some software, though.
You actually did a cost/benefit analysis on Access vs SQL. Bawahahahaha! You tards crack me up.
The extra $400 for SQL would be totally worth it, tard.

That is debatable.
This is not. Your body
is riddled with retardation. Your last two posts have hammered home that fact.
