Photo books, Houseware or Mice??

If houseware doesn’t make a good present, even if you REALLY wanted a new toaster or a set of towels, then what does?

For some ladies, it’s all about the bling, for others, it’s all about the thought. Thoughtful presents include photo books, surprisingly cheap and easy to come by, yet meaningful due to the effort and thought taken in their composition.

Photo books of special moments in a relationship show time, care and effort, which translates to the female brain that you are a man who will spend time and effort on your ladyfriend and, more than this, WANTS to spend time and effort.

But if exterior displays of sentiment and mush aren’t your thing, and let’s face it, photo books could turn into one big stomach-turning mushfest, any present that shows thought and effort is a good ‘un.

For example, the best present I’ve even been given was two pet mice. I think it was for my 20th or maybe 21st birthday, I can’t be sure. The giver took time to consider that I love animals and especially little pet animals. My hamster had died earlier in the year and they’d seen how sad this had made me.

And so they gave me two little mice. Pet mice are surprisingly hard to come by, I don’t know why, maybe it’s because a lot of people don’t like them. I’d never even seen a pet mouse in real life before, but as soon as I saw mine I loved them straight away.

They came from somewhere in the back and beyond of Lincolnshire (it’s a weird place once you leave the city… ever seen the film Wrong Turn?) and must have taken a while to hunt down.

The thought that went into this present was immense.

So, kiddies, the moral of the story, if I can tie this all together, is: don’t buy houseware, buy mice. Or photo books because most people don’t like mice.
