I have always found the things I buy have a 80% chance of being exchanged lol. Better just go with roses, wine and a gift card 😂

Or, spend the amount you want on an item from a store she likes, and have it delivered to her with a gift receipt. Then if she doesn’t want the purse you picked (or whatever the item is), she can exchange it for expensive scarves or something that she does want. This way you don’t have to stress so much about what actual item you pick as long as the price is right she can get what she wants.

Hmmm maybe like a spa day package (mani, pedi, massage, nails) or you can do jewelry (nice pendant necklace that’s simple and she can wear everyday), handbag?

Giver her the money or a gift card. My mum is bougie too and honestly I have found it easier to have dinner with her and wire an amount for her to treat herself. I just don't seem to match up to her.

Alright fellas, hims vs keeps?

I’m 25 and still have a good head of hair, but can see myself greying and feel like more and more hair is falling out every day. Not noticeable but have heard prevention is everything for this and am following the exact pattern my grandfather did, who had thick hair like mine and then was bald by 30.

Appreciate all you stylish folk and hope everyone has a great day.
