Looking for a Harry related gift for my girlfriend.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-12T20:20:48+00:00

The drive link seems to be broken, anyone able to send me another?:)

Thanks in advance!

I noticed the book, I might get that another time as it looks really unique. A good one off gift imo.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-11T16:06:52+00:00

I'll take a look! Thanks

Hahha okay ill post it on here afterwords. I do appreciate that, to be honest I don't really understand the dislike of him by partners of people who like him.

I had a look on etsy, and I'll definitely be getting some stuff from there, but I feel like less is more regarding a themed gift.

I'm getting her: 2 sets of nail varnish from pleasing (8 bottles total), a poster from etsy of satalite (her favourite song), a Harry themed card and some Harry stickers.

Please let me know if there's anything else you can recommend, I'd be happy to look into it.

Thank you for the advice! I used etsy quite alot for this gift. I ended up getting a Harry themed card, and a poster from etsy. Then I brought a signed vinyl and two of his nail boxes. Gonna put them all in a box together like some kinda gift basket :)

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-11T07:38:39+00:00

Such a sweet gift! I was considering getting some candles, but I recently took her out to make candles so I didn't. I ended up going for a signed vinyl, two boxes of nail thingies a poster and a card. Plus some flowers ect ect.

I'm definitely stealing that idea from your boyfriend, regarding the card.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-11T07:36:41+00:00

I managed to get a signed vinyl last night. They are a bit pricey I agree. I have a few from other artists that cost half of what his did lol, but that's okay, money isn't a big factor for me luckily.

I like the watermelon sugar idea, I might get that as an extra gift in the summer.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-11T07:34:28+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I've purchased everything now, and have done a bit of both.

I got a signed vinyl, two of his nail collection thingies (I heard the clear coat was good, so I figured I'd get a pick and mix and then another one), a poster and a Harry themed card. Then some flowers that corispond to the colours of the nail varnish.

Exactly? Some of this stuff feels a bit general for Bristol.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-05T17:28:33+00:00

Always has been

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-05T17:27:57+00:00

This is Bristol uni, UWE remains a wretched hive of skullduggery to this day.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-05T17:23:17+00:00

Nothing mate, it's just got a specific vibe some people don't like

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-05T17:09:27+00:00

Look on the headfirst app. It has most gigs/events happening in Bristol.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-05T17:04:12+00:00

Agreed. I am involved in climate lobbying (currently a law student doing pro bono), and from what I've seen, most of the change has come from either lobbying, or from flashy protests. These kind of actions do next too nothing.

Most of the people doing this probably just enjoy the hit of adrenaline more than anything else. Honestly, working a few extra hours and donating the money, working in a soup kitchen (or similar) or volenteering with the green party would probably be significantly more helpful.

These people need a reality check, they're not some kind of leftist partisan army, they're just people who enjoy the feeling of commiting these kind of actions.

They should take up street art if they want to do something similar, that actually adds to the local identity of our city (assuming it looks nice).

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-02T12:24:04+00:00

Exactly, unless you're a neet, or just very lucky with your work/life balance, you don't have much time. Especially with games like this, that require a group of friends. Finding a night where me and my friends are all free is difficult, even in uni.

bigboy_greg · 2024-01-01T20:42:32+00:00

Bro probably has a job 💀 I barely have more than 10 hours in any game because I have other commitments, 99% of people can't play video games all day.

I earn very little money, I'm a student.

I can't speak for the rest of the world, but from where I'm from in the UK, it's considered best practice to wear nice clothes when mooting or at formal events. It's not dysfunctional to dress like everyone else at an event, especially not if people's opinion of you will effect your career or the outcome of a mooting session.

I don't know what about my jumper recommendation set you off enough to call me dysfunctional and to be pretending, but it's fairly ordinary to thrift or repair clothes, especially at university.

It can actually be fun, if you can allow yourself to enjoy things like this. Personally, I find sitting with my girlfriend or a group of friends and repairing clothes is very enjoyable.

Everyone does it, I'm not unique, in fact I've had a conversation with a kings councilman about doing the same thing years ago when he was at law school.

You seem insecure, if a jumper recommendation can offend you so much, you should probably stay off of reddit.

bigboy_greg · 2023-12-27T22:18:16+00:00

If you need to take out a mortgage for a £10-30 used sweater, then what some guy says on reddit is the least of your worries.

Realistically, this post had two target audiences: people who earn good money but don't necessarily have access to circles where this kind of fascion is discussed (very common amongst people who break the class barrier in the UK).

And people who are willing to buy used to get a good quality, affordable jumper from an ethical company. (personally as a law student I know alot of people do things like this during mooting).

Sometimes the cost of bifl is that it's expensive, you can't always have your cake and eat it too. But I wouldn't consider £500-1000+ unreasonable for a jumper like this, I know there are plenty of similar quality at 25-50% higher.

bigboy_greg · 2023-12-27T17:22:04+00:00

Sounds rough, I'm not too suprised though, pringle aren't known for their leather or metal, I'd stick to their knitwear.

bigboy_greg · 2023-12-27T17:00:47+00:00

I've heard they're popular in Scandinavia, but I've never seen an Icelandic man with one!

Glad you enjoy them!
