Are these naff?

here.

Friends birthday soon and she's been hinting at one of these.

They're not my thing, are they naff though?

I like it but then again I'm tacky. If she wants one that's an easy present for you.

mrsmaidamess · 18/06/2009 18:05

Does she want her own name put on it?

ThePhantomPlopper · 18/06/2009 18:05

Is it the sort of gift a friend buys? Thought it would be more a DH gift.

Not my cup of tea.... but then its not my birthday If she's hinted about it, then I'd definitely go for the easy option and get it

chevre · 18/06/2009 18:06

buy it with the legend 'tacky' then you are pleasing everyone.

ThePhantomPlopper · 18/06/2009 18:06

mrsm - no idea.

I think it's quite pretty. If she likes it, why not.

ThePhantomPlopper · 18/06/2009 18:31

I don't know if she was hinting at me or her DH, we were both in the same room.

discuss with her DH

at the end of the day, tacky or not, she wants one

ThePhantomPlopper · 18/06/2009 19:18

yes but she's worried about it being naff/tacky.

I have no idea if it is or isn't.

oh she is worried about it being naff or tacky...

Oh, erm, not my cuppa but it depends what is engraved tbh

missblythe · 18/06/2009 19:25

It's too faux-Tiffany for me, but it could be a lot worse.

brimfull · 18/06/2009 19:27

naff and tacky imo

brendaAndEddie · 18/06/2009 19:28

i dont htink naff

ThePhantomPlopper · 18/06/2009 19:28

Think it would be her name engraved on it.

OP posts:
TheFool · 18/06/2009 19:34

her name would swing it to naff for me.

she knows her name. she knows her husband's and dc's names, she knows if she is a mum/sister/daughter etc. Something significant but obscure would be good imo

Meridian has a new pendant thing with Poison Apple on it - it means something to her. for me, I would probably end up with something like Mars.

brendaAndEddie · 18/06/2009 19:35

what about all the lightbulbs in the house engraved on it?

brimfull · 18/06/2009 19:36

the engraving of one's name is what makes it naff imo

blondissimo · 18/06/2009 19:38

In a word yes. Looks v. cheap.
