Disadvantages: More Pub Time, Hangovers

Sounds about right, doesn't it. The truth is that all women are basically the same (I'm going to be in trouble for that). You can see the similarities in the way they conduct themselves, the way their eyes light up when they see your credit card, the way they insist they CAN fit in the smaller size of dress - and the way they all, every last one of them, love to be pampered, whether they know it or not.

My missus is no exception. Being the doting other half that I am (or should that read mildly derranged?), I occasionally like to surprise the little lady with a present. And every so often, when she decides she's put on weight and that she can't have chocolate, I start to keep my eye out for something unusual to get her. She does love surprise presents, as long as she gets to pick them, but this time I decided to risk choosing something myself.

There is a very strong possibility that the purchase of this single product is now the greatest achievement of my life. Far from the 'What? You got me THAT?' I was expecting, I was rewarded with a big hug and covered in kisses. She said 'Thankyou'. It involved far less pain than I expected. So for all of the men out there, thinking of something to buy for the other half, I highly reccomend this. She will love you forever.

Anyway, on with the product...

Argus are not renowned for their exciting and inventive range, normally, but this time they have excelled themselves. I am, of course, talking about their Leather Manicure Kit. It costs about £13 (and according to their website is currently available across the country).

It contains a whole load of things that I can't even name, but the look on my other half's face when she opened the box was one of such ecstasy that I assume it must all have been good. Within seconds, she was on the phone and had arranged a girly night in with a few friends, and I was ordered out of the house for the night. So
I went to the pub. And drank quite a lot of Jack Daniels...

Over the next few days, she would come downstairs, grinning from ear to ear and showing off her 'new hands' as she liked to put it. She spend about 90% of her time that week pampering herself, leaving me free to explore the possibilities that severe alcohol abuse offers. A few weeks later, and minus one liver, life is good. She still spends time at the weekends doing weird things I don't understand to her hands, but that's fine by me.

As long as she's happy, that's all that really counts, and this makes her happy. Some advice to any man looking for a present for the better half - buy this. She will love it, and best of all, you will be 'allowed out' 7 days a week so she and her friends can sit around and pamper each other.

The product number is 260/1744, so you don't have to hunt through their catalogue by the way, and it 'Includes 9 manicure implements and 5 cosmetic brushes', whatever that means!
