Orange County Fair?

Good luck with the search...

dubjay · 07-21-2008, 12:04 PM

Chinatown or the swap meet always seems to have LV pretty cheap.

Honestly though..LV usually doesn't sell at anything besides retail price usually - unless you have some sort of coupon deal from one of the major department stores.

JoeTruth · 07-21-2008, 12:04 PM

GLENN-DALE!!! In addition, you can get cell phones, pagers, Armani suits and Drakkar cologne, in your price range.

scottay · 07-21-2008, 12:08 PM

Ummm, is it REAL stuff? Or at least very close to it???

volcomsteban · 07-21-2008, 12:08 PM

First off, Good job waiting till the last minute to get a gift. you must be new at this. lol Secondly I'd go with a nice purse not a tennis bracelet. I've never once seen a woman wearing a tennis bracelet, but I see them carrying nice purses and wallets all the time. And lastly, if you're gonna go the nice purse route I'd go with a Coach. They seem to hold up better over time. My gf has had a few for years. Everyone I know with a LV says they fall apart. As far as where to buy one I'd say a Coach store. There's bound to be one close to where you live. Hope that helps

*sarcasm alert*

My experience 99% of the times I have picked out gifts of this sort for my wife (whom I have been with for 29 years):

You can't. No matter which one you pick, it will be the wrong one. Even if you pick the opposite one from what you thought would be the right one.... that's right.... it will still be the wrong one

But the good news is, as frustrating as this can be, it will still be the right move to get it in the first place. Just keep the receipt and make sure the have a good return policy

If you think about it, it's kind of like your wife picking out bike parts for your birthday.... 99% sure she'll get it "unright" (because they are never wrong

), but it's the thought that counts.

Maybe a gift certificate to a Coach store. She'll still have to go back and pick out one herself (the core issue here

), but it'll save you the aggravation of picking one you think she'll like only to see it returned. Go with her and include a lunch or dinner date and you should be good to go.

*sarcasm alert revoked*

Good luck with the whole birthday thing. As you can tell, this is not my strong suit

I just remembered of a cool site my ex-g/f showed me. It's a place where ex-wives and ex-girlfriends pawn off gifts received from recent relationships. Kind of a funny site, on comments alone...

Since most jewelry is highly overpriced, I suggest go with the Tennis Bracelet. Since you have procrastinated for so long, you should go to a local jewelry store and see what deals they have on sale or clearance items. I was just in the Zales at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga yesterday, and they had multiple selections of Tennis Bracelets for up to 60% off.

As far as Louis goes, never go for the cheap knock-off. You may fool her for a short time, but eventually she will find out.

CalEpic · 07-21-2008, 02:10 PM

Go to Beverly Hills

Pay full retail and don't haggle

Get the complete gift wrap package

Let your girl know what a huge, expensive PITA it was to get this gift for her. "But hey, you're worth it, babe!"

Be the hero, enjoy the sex.

This is not my first BBQ

chongoblanco · 07-21-2008, 02:13 PM

Alright the place to go for good deals on a variety of hand bags is the Nordstrom rack at south coast in costa mesa/ newport, but she will probably know its last seasons.

My sister's got there Isabella fiori bags for like half off, other than that Unless you really know your old ladys taste in style go with the gift certificate, or just take her on a shopping spree.

Hard to go wrong with any of the stores at south coast plaza.

reflux · 07-21-2008, 02:14 PM

Good suggestion on Coach. All of my girl friends have them over others, plus they're the "cheapest" of designer bags.

Tennis bracelet = I cheated and want you back.

JoeTruth · 07-21-2008, 02:15 PM

A high quality purse from a famous designer is guaranteed action. Marc Jacobs is a sure thing and money in the bank.
