So the lady's b-day is coming up here in about two weeks. Any clothing related suggestions under $100? She's stylish, and skinny. I was thinking about buying her some fair isle leggings, but i unno
Already buying her a french press...any really fine coffee suggestions to get her with it?

A camisole. I personally think that you cannot go wrong with la Perla or Agent Provocateur, if that's more her deal. It makes her feel sexy, but not slutty. Which usually means win for you. Silk pajamas do the same thing, though, at $100, you aren't going to get much there. Leggings are iffy. Just an inch wrong here and there, and a supermodel can look like Roseanne.

imo, they are TTS but they are meant to have a relaxed fit

ime, they range from tts to mega huge. Depends on the piece.

intelligentsia actually has a lot of great teas too. king crimson is really good, a nice teaset and some high quality teas wouldn't be a bad idea either

Nice, I'll prolly do this, a variety would be even better

Bodum is a good buy. I wouldn't get too nervous about ultra fresh roasted beans unless the person can appreciate what they're drinking, ie, don't poison their **** with milk and sugar.
Also, **** Intelligentsia, you're in PDX for fuckssake. Loads of good local roasters. I'm partial to World Cup myself.

She drinks it black (badass), but she isn't toooo deep into coffee and neither am i, so she wouldn't really need the freshness

Totally forgot the lingerie game, but she's already got a drawerful, iirc

thanks for the suggestions guys!

Anybody got a recommendation for a really low-profile arch support/insole? I got the Superfeet 3/4 length insole, but it still pushes the foot forward and up at the heel, which isn't that helpful with snugger shoes.

If she's not big on coffee it may not be worth it. Tea is a lot easier, a great variety of high quality stuff is available and is easier to develop a taste for than coffee. Plus, you can resteep **** a lot, it'll last you forever as long as you keep it airtight, and you can have it with dinner and lunch if you ever cook her anything, blah blah blah.

I don't know. I always think that a fishnet body-stocking is a gift that really say "I care." They're pretty cheap, come in multiple colors, with various holes cut in them...you can buy a few and try them all out!

I mean she drinks it every morning and really likes it, she's just not into all the hypertechnical mumbo jumbo associated with some of the real connoisseurs (like I'm assuming shah may be)

Edit: On a fashun note, this is exactly what I wanna look like when I hit 60+:



sorry for the Mr Porter mumbo jumbo on the side

100% Kona if you like low acidity, smooth liquid gold (peaberry if you want to feel special, haven't really noticed any difference between them myself). Might be able to get a nice scarf for <$100 or gloves

a pound ? kotdamn i get a small pack every week or two that's been roasted no more than 10-14 days prior to purchase.

My local roasts by the pound while you wait (and the day they ship it out if it's mail order). I love walking out of there with a warm pound of coffee. And, the girl who works there is too damn cute.

Oh my holy ****, guys, I'd almost rather go back to Random Mustard Thoughts.

So whats up with the brand t/m? I have a shirt by them that I like a lot, and I saw an awesome shirt at Barney's that I just tried to look up online and they don't even have the brand listed. Can't find it on google either. Its all made in japan

^That blazer is cool, but it ain't $3,600 cool.

What's the sizing like? I liked a couple of their shirts from this past S/S, but the measurements suggested they were quite short.

Kona and peaberry? Just how much Carnation Irish Cream do you add to your coffee?

If she drinks coffee every day then she won't necessarily be a connoisseur but at the very least she'll appreciate good coffee. Like I said, check out World Cup. Prices are reasonable, beans are fresh.

Looks like we have different tastes in men.
