Husband is going to London on business. What do you think he

[Ilsa]

should buy me there since I can't go? I have a birthday coming up. I'm thinking less than $100.00.

1. "Mind the Gap" Thong...

[KeepItReal]

6. I got a lady friend of mine the T-Shirt

She wears it *well*!

[Ilsa]

7. Okay. I am lost on this. I take it I should google this?

What am I getting myself into with this? Is it really cool or just something obscene? I don't want obscene, just cool.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Well, in the tube, they make announcements telling you to mind the gap.

The British version of saying, "Dumbass, don't fall between the platform and the train onto the tracks." However, it's on all sorts of souveniers over there, such as this t-shirt.



My one friend brought back a "mind the gap" thong for one of her coworkers, so I thought it was funny and threw it out there. It's not really obscene, unless you consider thongs obscene, or a thong that says "mind the gap."

2. A Mason-Pierson Hairbrush.

Make it the full-size, with boar AND plastic bristles.

It will last you for 100 years, and you will LOVE it!

[Ilsa]

4. Wow! Great idea, I think. I'll have to read up on this.

I have a pageboy right now, and may never let my hair go long - long again. But a really good hairbrush sounds neat.

3. there's nothing less than $100 in london

he'll have to buy you something in the airport if you insist the gift be from his trip

[Ilsa]

5. LOL. Too bad I don't chew gum. Or smoke cigars.

But he's easy to buy for considering he loves those two items.

[pitohui]

13. yeah london's just a terrible place to shop

the dollar is toilet tissue against the pound, he could get you something twice or three times as nice at home i'm afraid

[billyskank]

12. Too true!

Newspaper maybe... :D

[JI7]

8. something you can only or mostly get in London

[PassingFair]

19. A Burberry Trench?

On sale, perhaps? What, what?

[Haole Girl]

9. Leather boots, with leather uppers

though they may cost more than $100. My mother bought me some in London and they were fantastic (soft yet sturdy)!

[pitohui]

11. yeah they'd probably cost around $500

the dollar has collapsed to nothing against the pound, and in any case, i think it would be a terrible idea to buy someone boots who can't try them in case (99 times out of a 100 since it will be the husband shopping) that he gets the wrong size

[book lady]

14. A brown betty teapot, Yorkshire gold tea, scones and

Thornton's chocolates

[Bunny]

15. A Princess Diana commemorative tea cosy.

:)

[sarge43]

16. A small piece of Wedgewood pottery n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. If it were me, I'd ask for at least a bottle of Marmite and tea biscuits.

[LeftyMom]

18. Cheezely!

Well, that's what I'd want anyhow. I hear it's really really good.
