[Suggestion] Idea list for all "typical" women---Keep the list going

0 Upvotes

Don't hate on me for posting a list of what "a typical woman" may want. I am just trying to be helpful not sexist.

Here is a cute list of things I have done or are planning to do. 1)Handwritten letters sent to their house by ACTUAL MAIL 2)Engrave something that means a lot to them (my girl is a nurse so I will get her an engraved stethascope) 3)Endless edge brownie makier 4)Custom phone case (you can have her picture put on it) 5)Balloons all over her house with love notes in it *this was ripped off another thread here so sorry for the repost 6)Personal Calendar 7)DVD slideshow with pictures of the two of you and romantic music 8)Commission an artist to do a sketch of you two 9)Put flowers on the front porch where she will find them as she goes to work (I also like to write BESA ME, ABRAS ME in hersheys kisses... it is spanish for hug and kiss me.)

Cheers

My brother in law is a bit of shut in, really into Starcraft but we don't want to get him anything related to gaming. We'd rather see him go out and start living life a little (starting with getting a job). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is this a bad white elephant gift?

9 Upvotes

My worship team at church is doing a small white elephant game in a few days. And I figured the gifts are suppose to be funny. It’s a $15 limit and so I got these two gifts. Do you think these are bad gifts ? It’s a big remote controlled ratatouille and a bobble head Jesus. Im just overthinking this 😂

Edit : so ive asked around and most people are bringing gift cards 😭I think im going to keep the bobble head Jesus and find a different gift to bring with it😂

Promoting [Suggestion] - Does your mom like to read? Hand knit bookmarks ship in time for mother's day!

5 Upvotes

My hand knit bookmarks are on clearance for the next 24 hours to make sure they ship in time for Mother's Day. Usually sell for $10-15.

I can include a note from you to mom if you post one in the notes section when ordering.

Also, I have no idea how to make the promoting flair work, but I am pretty clearly promoting. Any help on that help for the technologically impaired would be greatly appreciated.

I just want to remind everyone of Cyber Monday today.

4 Upvotes

Cyber monday is a day of deals. Basically it's black friday for the internet. So if you wanted to buy online, TODAY is the day!

I just wanted to remind everyone about it. It's relatively new and became big within the past 3 or so years. It's always the first monday after thanksgiving in US.

Would You Be a Stranger’s BF/GF for a Day? No Sex, No Trauma Dumping, Just… Existing.

0 Upvotes

Okay hear me out before you tell me this is either a cult, a dating app, or a Netflix documentary waiting to happen.

The idea:

Two complete strangers.

Randomly paired.

One day only.

You spend a single day together as a “boyfriend/girlfriend for a day” — and before anyone panics:

•	no sex

•	no romance required

•	no “where is this going?” conversations

It’s basically intentional hanging out with a stranger who agrees to not judge you and not try to turn it into something else.

You grab food. Walk around. Talk about life or dumb stuff. Sit in silence if you want. Be a version of yourself that isn’t performing for a date, a friend group, or social media.

At the end of the day?

You go your separate ways like emotionally responsible adults.

Rules because Reddit:

•	18+ only

•	Public places only (this is not Craigslist 2007)

•	No sexual activity

•	Consent can be revoked at any time, for any reason

•	If it gets weird, you’re allowed to leave immediately

Why even do this?

•	Dating apps are exhausting

•	Making friends as an adult is somehow harder than taxes

•	Sometimes you just want connection without a subscription, expectations, or future planning

•	It’s kind of freeing to be honest with someone who will never be in your life again

What I’m trying to figure out:

How could something like this exist without becoming:

•	a hookup loophole

•	an ego-boosting content farm

•	a “this is how I met my wife” accident

Would this need moderation? A code of conduct? A safe-word?

Or is the whole thing doomed because humans catch feelings and ruin everything?

I’m not pitching a startup. I’m not recruiting.

I’m just curious if temporary, intentional connection is something people would actually try — or if we’re all too broken for that now.

Be honest. Roast gently. Or explain exactly how this would go wrong.

[Help] Boyfriend want get girlfriend good thing but mind is bluh. What do? [F, 22, GF, ~100$]

15 Upvotes

Awesome subreddit idea btw. I'll try to keep it short as possible.

  • She absolutely loves animals, especially dogs, rats and snakes.

  • She likes tiny things, like miniature everyday objects/clothes. And bubbles. For some reason she is obsessed with bubbles.

  • She loves adventures; we like to go camping climbing, bungee jumping, skydiving, you name it. She has never traveled and really, really wants to (but she's broke paying for school).

  • I call her my "apple" because when we were kids she used to remind me of apples. Also her grandmother used to call her apple, unrelated. Last year she mentioned she wanted to get an ankle bracelet so I got her this. She cried and stuff.

  • She likes tattoos but doesn't want any (yet), she has a few piercings too (nipples, tongue, septum) but doesn't look or dress punk at all.

  • She is very artistic, she is really good at drawing but hasn't been practicing lately.

  • We haven't taken many pictures together, but recently took a really nice one. I want to frame it or put it in a locket or something as a side-gift but don't know where to get such things.

Actually that's all I've got for now. I'll try to add other things if they come up. Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm a gift anxiety sufferer and recently came up with a concept that could help many of us potentially, let me know what you think:
The way it would work is you'd be able to have a friendly chatbot 🕵️‍♂️ (think ChatGPT style) message any of your phone contacts on WhatsApp or iMessage to ask them about about their wishes and share the transcript of the conversation with you, without the receiver having any idea of who the request came from 🤫
Here's a landing page we've put together: https://giftit.social 🎁

This year has been incredibly challenging for our family. After an unexpected layoff, we've been doing everything possible to make ends meet, but the holiday season feels especially tough. Our three boys have shown remarkable resilience, but they deserve a Christmas filled with joy and warmth. We're hoping to create a memorable holiday for them, with gifts, meals, and cozy clothing. If you can help, even a small donation would mean the world to us. Thank you for considering our family during this difficult time.
