(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay, so me and my girlfriends' one year anniversary is coming up on October 6th, and we both told each other what we wanted as gifts.
I said she could have anything she wanted as long as she was gentle with the cost. I told her I wanted a North Face
jacket because winter is coming up and I need something besides my hoodies
to wear. And she wanted a pair of Uggs. I said fine, that's perfect. I take her to the mall to try on the Uggs, she says those are the ones she wants. I tell the lady to put them on hold (my friend Darryl was with us too) and I was going to secretly have Darryl buy them with my money, and take them to the car while my girlfriend and I went to the second floor.

So, I get the Uggs, and long story short, the surprised was ruined and she said that she didn't like the color.
It was fine, I returned them, got my money back, no big deal.
We go on the computer, she starts looking at Vera Bradley and Coach stuff. (Fort those who don't know, VB and Coach
make bags and wallets and that type of stuff) Keep in mind I said to her she can have anything she wants. She decided she
wanted a Vera Bradley wallet ($40) and a Coach Umbrella (around $30).
My problem here is that she HAS to get a Coach umbrella. (My girlfriend is not high maintenance at all, but when she buys something, its 'namebrand'Winky Winky I tried telling her that an umbrella is an umbrella, and she doesn't need a namebrand one. She said to me, "Why pay for crap when you can buy quality Charlie?" (Charlie is my name, just for reference) I told her, fine. Because I did say she can have whatever.

But am I wrong in my assumption that an umbrella is an umbrella? Why buy a 30 dollar umbrella when you can get the same
result/effect out of a $5-$10 umbrella from walmart or something?
*sigh*...the things I do for love...

If you were a true gentleman and really loved her, you would have asked for nothing besides her love and affection. Enzo

thats true. but that's just me i guess. like i don't need namebrand anything, so I guess thats where my question comes into play when she asked for a Coach umbrella.

According to me Women are always right. If you are true with her, she will always sport you and will show her love for you.. If you love her, she will care for you and will always be with you..You must login or register to view this content.

An average umbrella costs around $15-$20. $5-$10 umbrellas are really cheap and break easily with winds and shit. Anyways, $30 for a "brand" umbrella isn't bad since normally people would pay $20 for one.

Regardless I'm going to get it for her. I just don't want it to break though lol If I'm spending 30 dollars on an umbrella then I hope it won't break. Either way she'll be happy when she gets it :happycry:

I broke like hundreds of umbrellas that cost like $5-$10. My brother bought an umbrella that cost $35 last year & its still good. Its actually worth it because it can last for years.
