Gift question for the CD Community. (dating, woman, older, social)

This shows how out of touch some people are with reality.

Give a "specialty" gift for a kiddo in the presence of parents and grandparents?

Weirdo.

50$ gift card all the way. The crocodile makes the best assessment of everything in real life. He's the life-form every other human being admires and aspires to be.

And also inform the damn parent that you just gifted his/her kid 50 bucks. Hint: Watch how she spends it and doesn't buy booze/drugs.

Go out and spend "real" time in the "real" world.

I'd normally agree with you, but what thought are you supposed to put into a gift for somebody you don't know?

But the OP said he has indeed known the granddaughter for five years, at least the way I interpret it.

Uhh don't they sell lotions and sprays there as well?

The girls I've dated love Victoria's Secret stuff.

Yeah but do they love getting Victoria's Secret stuff from their grandma's friends?! That's totally pervy.

Quick gift ettiquette question. My friend and co workers granddaughter is turnin 19 tomorrow and I was invited to a surprise party at a casual restaraunt/bar. I know my friend 5 years and her grandaughter about the same and was at a few events previously with the grandaughter. I am not sure what to buy the granddaughter but want to show my appreciation for the nice invite. Any suggestions? I was taught early on to always bring something to the table, just not sure what. Its tommorow evening so Its close. Cant figure this one out.

I found two beautiful wire bound Journals yesterday at Barnes & Noble, $6.98 each for the big ones. Smaller versions were also available. Also found a large yellow canvas bag, they had green as well. Anyway, if you purchase 2 items you can pick up the bag for $9.98, otherwise the bag is $24.95. The bags are BIG, BRIGHT, sturdy yellow/white or green/white with a flowery type print on them.

Not like Bath and Body. VS is more lingerie geared. And this girl is not the OP's gf so I think it would be a bit out of line for him to get her VS.
