Question regarding gifts for girls-

[Oscar]

To you guys who have had a few trips there, is some Victorias Secret lotion an ok gift for a girls Mother??  Sounded ok to me..

For the girls, they also have these great little gift sets at Victorias that has their 4 top perfumes in small bottles and it's great because they come in a nice flat little box, rally good for packing, just $24!  Quite a good deal.  I bought a few of those..

Also a couple of simple stirling silver necklaces for a couple of girls..

Also taking a few of the small Winter Olympic stuffed mascots for the kidlets too.. All the Olympic stuff is pretty much on sale here in Salt Lake now..

Any other ideas that go over well??

Best regards,
Oscar

Oscar, I agree that you'll impress RW with Christian Dior, Lancome, Shiseido and Chanel .But do you really want to do this?This way you'll atract attention more from scammers than honest women because of your outrageously expensive gifts. If you after " good time with some hottie" that's the way to go. Otherwise if you're looking for down-to earth RW Victoria Secret whould do just fine. Expensive perfume would be apropriate for woman you know close enough, not for the first time meeting.IMHO

First, I would not give a gift to every woman I meet.  I would only give some nice gifts to a woman I felt I was going to really match with.  
And if she thinks that the Victorias Secrets scents are beneath her for some reason, (have no idea why a woman would turn her nose up at award winning scents like them)   it's to the curb with her!  I wouldn't stand for being married to such a snob! ;-)

Thanks for your opinion..

Later,
Oscar

These women have never heard of Victoria secrets, or Bed and Bath or whatever. You must either get them something they've heard of, or buy anything that you want, but that brand means nothing to them. You can chose to impress them, or you can just give them a token gift that's up to you.

Before I went to Moscow for the first time I took with me Bed and bath gifts for any ladies I would find interesting and to give to some girls that were to help me with a few things, anyway every time I gave them the gifts I told them that it is nice stuff in America and explained that the company is owned by Victoria Secrets. None of the 5 ladies I gave these gifts to had ever heard of either company. Others have also posted the same thing on here ( I think )

Red.  That stuff kills.  Been around a few years, but it's absolutely killer for a man that enjoys female consumption...

My wife is what would be considered the higher society of Russia and her opinion about T-shirts, or Victoria secrets ( which could be K-mart items and they wouldn't know the difference)are not so impressive. If you want to impress them go to one of your nicer stores in your area and buy European perfumes such as Christian Dior, Chanel,Davidoff, or Clinque (some may not be European?? but very popular! )
Mike --- who also took Bed and Body works to give girls there, and didn't see too many impressed faces.

lol, Mike - you wife shall know that different women preffer different parfumes..... some rusmen still do that - present ANY expensive perfume and then you have 2 think - who from females you know may like it?  It's funny, leaving aside that such a present will not make a girl happy.
Plus i didn't see any desire(of the men here) to IMPRESS a RW - the main idea is how to get is as cheap as possible.......get something 4 nuffing
Sometimes i like the results of your economy and attitude )

Two of them, "Divine" and "Heavenly", both happen to have placed in the top 5 scents for two years running.  A little FYI..
