Trying to decide for best female friend.

I've finally managed to convince her rather useless present buying other half to buy her the Pandora bracelet she's been yearning for WOOHOO!

He did say he was going to buy her one last Christmas but then said he couldn't decide between Pandora and Chamilla...so what do you think he got her for Christmas?Yep,neither.He bought her nothing but a box of ferrero roucher instead!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway,we've done a deal where he'll get the bracelet and I'll get her first charm but I can't decide.

The choices are:

A. A dangley Rudolph one because she is a Christmas nut and it's for Christmas

B.A dangley ice skating charm with snowflake print on the bit that goes over the bracelet,as a reminder of her birthday a couple of years ago when nobody else could make the planned night out so the two is us went out on our own,decided to be big kids and went ice skating (hilarious with me with falling everywhere),I injured myself so we went and got pic n mix to sit in a random bus stop with until I stopped hurting,were used as seats by drunk men,before going to a friend's pub.

C.A pretty and colourful bead because she wants to be girly and feels like her oh,and possibly others,don't see her that way.

Phew!I'm glad you're all saying B! I thought the memory thing was the important things with these,but wasn't sure if people preferred just 'pretty' things.

Wish I could see her face on the day,she has got so used to disappointment that she just told us to get her socks.So,we're both wrapping the presents hidden in socks LOL

I would want B because of the memory. It would make me smile every time I looked at it.

B - 'cos that whats charm bracelets should be all about.. memories..

My pratner was asking me in a round-about way earlier this month and asked to see what charms I had - I have one for every important event or hobby/interest etc - it's full, very heavy and doesn't really have much (if any) space left - I told him that the only space I had left on it was for a "Grim Reaper" - thinking that he would struggle - I wonder what I shall be getting for Christmas now ????

Shit - just checked on E-Bay and you can get a GRIM REAPER - oh well - perfume, knickers and socks are just so passee these days

But definitely B..... go for B - did I mention that I personally thought that B would be a good choice ???
