    What Gifts?

    Although this question has been asked a few times in the past, we have a number of folk who are heading out to the Phil in the next few months?

    This question is mainly to the ladies in the Phil. What gifts should Brits take for you, family, etc?

    One thing to Brits, don't take 9ct Gold ... it's like toy metal out there

    hmm..if you'd ask me.. Havaianas size 37/38 hahahaha ...LOL! I don't think you guys have that there... for me, it doesn't matter if the guy would bring gifts or not..but i think most families would expect him to treat them out to dinner or something that would make the whole family meet him, spend time with him and know him more..well, just what i think..haha..

    money lotsa money
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    I've not had a single surprise prezzie from a partner/girl I've been seeing in my whole life! It's also a complete waste of time me buying any for anyone as they always end up finishing with me for no obvious reason and I'm left stuck with their presents!

    When Philip visited me in Philippines He never brought any pasalubong because i asked him not too. I dont want my family t get used to having pasalubong, also i have a very big family so it will cost him a lot, but he treat them for meals etc.

    Even when i went home i still didn't buy any gifts simply because i cant afford. Instead i used the money to treat my whole family to meals, drinks, we went to star city, skating, billiards, bowling etc.

    But i think perfume, mobile phones, wines and cigarettes are nice gifts..

    My thought exactly. Am so glad my girl's not materialistic. Any guys reading this, just get chocolates or pick up some perfume at the airport, don't go overboard, you'll just be making a rod for your own back.

    Umghh, perfume is quite tricky as it's quite personal and what one person likes, another hates! Any favourites with you ladies apart from the Cool water previously mentioned?

    That's fair enough, but there's lots of blokes who make that first trip who can't afford it. They'll stumble across this and think they're going to have to buy notebooks etc And, of course, start to worry that the girl they're going to meet is just in it for the money and gifts

    Would have been nice to see more replies like Rayna's -

    for me, it doesn't matter if the guy would bring gifts or not..but i think most families would expect him to treat them out to dinner or something that would make the whole family meet him, spend time with him and know him more..well, just what i think..haha..
    I just hope ///Tony\\\ hasn't been reading some of the answers

    nothing to do with being materialistic,,, my hubby just likes me to have nice things which we can afford..and he knows he gets a fantastic b10wjb for his thoughtfullness.... if he turned up at the airport and said " oh hi hunnie..brb just gonna buy u some chocolates as i didnt bother thinking to bring u anything at all... he will be lucky to have a handjob
