GiaKrembs 0 #1 February 3, 2005 Birthday gift... Full day sailboat rental @ $130.00. Friend of mine recently married, and this weekend is his birthday - so I thought I could make it combination marriage/birthday gift that both he and his new wife could enjoy. hmmmm, or am I just being a cheap mofo.... g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

GiaKrembs 0 #5 February 3, 2005 ya, he used to race sail boats, but he's been broke as of late (getting married, honeymoon in Europe, etc.) he hasn't been for quite some time. So I thought this would be very cool for him.

Superman32 0 #6 February 3, 2005 If you are good friends and if you were in NY/NJ/CT, $130 would definitely be a cheapo gift for a marriage/birthday (specially if you were at the wedding) If you weren't invited to wedding, it's more than enough. I've had about 4-5 weddings every year for the past few years. I was about to declare bankruptcy on that alone. Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

GiaKrembs 0 #7 February 3, 2005 I did attend the wedding, it was in Ireland, and he is like a big brother to me. They asked me to wait to get them a gift till we got back to the States. I thought about getting some other small items (he wants the Hellboy DVD/loves Starbucks) specific for his birthday, plus the sailboat rental. ....cool, I think that's what I'll do. Thanks, g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

I would say it is more the quality of the gift than the price. I am sure that day on the sailboat will make them much happier than the 8 breadmakers they got at their wedding. Greenie in training.

Oh wait, you want to declare bancruptcy because of your overly generous nature... wish i had more friends like you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #10 February 3, 2005 Its a very nice, generous and thoughtful gift as long as you can afford it. If you really can't (or shouldn't) then it is too much AND a good friend wouldn't expect anything so extravagent anyway! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
