3. Cooking utensils (unless you want to wear your dinner).

4. A gift for yourself and pretend it is for her.

5. Cheap perfume (no matter how fancy it looks, you will never fool her) .

6. Clothes (even if you have impecable taste, clothes are a woman's pleasure).

7. Cubic zirconia jewelry (if it's not diamonds it's not worth having).

8. Flannel lingerie (only silk will do).

9. Gift certificate for weight watchers (you will be signing your own death warrant).

10. Anti-wrinkle cream (would you like her to buy you acne cream?)
