WH related birthday presents - Suggestions please!

[mangetout]

Hi

my boyfriend is a HUGE fan of the WH (and absolutely anything related to Ginger).
He introduced me to them about 2 years ago and I'm a complete convert...but unfortunately still a novice when it comes to all the background knowlegde etc etc.

Anyway, It's his birthday coming up and I'd like to get him something special - that a true WH fan would treasure. Trouble is, he has so much bloody stuff that I haven't got a clue what to get!!

Anyone got any uniquely brilliant ideas????

Ta!

Hey, welcome to the board.

Check out this thread for one idea.

Without knowing what he has, it's kind of hard to suggest anything. Does he collect the rarities and promos?

Is he on here?

[mangetout]

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah, my first time...although I read through the threads quite often anyway. That cake is amazing, saw it on here the other day - although not sure mu culinary skills are quite up to that!!!

he's got all the usual albums, plus disc after disc of B sides and the like - I got him a couple of vinyls recently (latest album white vinyl and 'so into you' on red vinyl) - for valentines day (ha! Soppy I know)

I suppose what he'd really like is one of Ginger's old guitars...!!!!

Wouldn't we all.

Although he did sell a bunch of them off recently... not much help now, mind.

I'm sure Zo would give you some guidance if you fancied having a bash at the cake?

How long have we got to think of something?

[mangetout]

Yeah, saw those on ebay!!

have got a couple of weeks yet...tried to steal the set list from the acoustic gig in leeds the other night and get it signed, but Ginger said he needed it back

[Ean]

Did you tell him why you wanted it?

Wildhearts Zippo Lighter??? (shameless plug that I've got one for sale lol )

[mangetout]

No I didn't actually...I thought I might have stood a better chance if he thought it was for me!!!!!

he was really nice about it though - took my address and he would send something to me instead, but I'm not going to hold him to that.

[mangetout]

Ha! Didn't know they did those!
Good idea - except he really hates smoking

[blackdeathcrew]

So do I !!! It's never been filled with lighter fluid even
They did them as a promo item to support the Endless Nameless album

[wildsam6o]

how about something rare as fuck!

get him like a really rare import!

i had a really rare tshirt a few years back for my bday, nt seen one like it since,

has phuq sewn on to the front in silver thread!
was a promo or somethin!

i was happy with it

[mangetout]

Like the sound of the t-shirt actually - never seen one like that.
will have a look about and see what I can find - I know vinyl junkie do a few.

Thanks!!

he was really nice about it though - took my address and he would send something to me instead, but I'm not going to hold him to that.

How about emailing Ginger and asking him if he'd send a birthday card?
We received a wedding card from him. A friend of ours emailed him and he replied within a couple of days. She received the card within a week or so!
I'm sure it's worth a try?

[mangetout]

he sent a card?? really???

Now that wou;d be special!!!

Cheers for all your replies - I knew I'd come to the right place!
