After a series of chin wags with the better half she finally asked me to get her something.

Well we were on the topic of me spoiling her really. But anyhow she's asked me to get her something that....

Every girl wants,(apart from shoes)
It's a bag but not a bag, a shoe but not a shoe,
it's that but not that,
and it doesn't have any colours of the rainbow.
And she already has one of it.

Now this drove me absolutely up the wall. I started guessing things far fetched. Doesn't help when your mentor used to play riddles with you when you're way young I guess. But I started going for crazy things like "3 wolf moon shirt?" "diamond ring?" "christian louboutin shoes?"

Only to get "what?" "please don't" and "oh god no".

So I thought of all the times we've had together so far and then I said "swarovski necklace?" "a new handphone?" "hot air balloon date?"

Only to further receive
"No too generic"
"I thought you were already getting me one anyway" (complicated story)
"I dare you but no that's not it."

So it had me absolutely baffled. Like waddaheck issit. Plus it's for an anniversary of ours.

So I figured.

I should give up.

Then in the middle of a friend's wedding the next day. The penny drops.

And I figure it's this.

[image loading]

It's a charm it's a bike but not a bike! (I used to repair her bike in the early days of hitting on her anyway) and she's got a charm bracelet. So she probably meant stuff like that.

But here's the problem. Am I actually right on this??? I could be wrong. And blowing a bucketload of cash on silver so small it can't even make a werewolf flinch...

only 1 way to find out!

Edit:

I think I should go for this double combo because... well I like spoiling my girlfriend.

[image loading] plus it looks amazing enough to beat the bike!


The only bottlecaps one should collect are from the beers he drinks.

Makes me think of those shoes with hidden compartments in the soles where you hide something.

Maybe she's a ninja?

Hm. I don't think that's it, but I can't for the life of me say what is. I... I really don't know.
I like things.

Hahahaha. Wow. I like the mind games:

Does "every girl" want a charm? I know my wife likes charms, but I don't know that it's a universal female impulse.

Let me go run this by my wife and see if she's got any insight.
If it were not so, I would have told you.

Well, whatever you do, do it with confidence. She'll like that regardless.

Hey, is the "she already has one of it" specific to your girl in particular? Or is it something that every girl already has?
If it were not so, I would have told you.

Well specific to her really but yeah i think the charm is spot on cause it answers the question of a bag and not a bag. But to be honest I was thinking of getting her a charm all along anyway. But hey if it's what she wants. Kick ass.
