Need help with birthday gift for my graphics designer cousin in NY. She is turning 30. Two options (Purse/Dell Mini) inside.

Posted by DreadPR (aka DreadPR) Apr 22 '09, 08:30

Big birthday for her. We are very close. She is hip, tech savvy maybe a little edgy.

Option 1 - Dell Mini - probably get her a gift card to Dell so she can get the config she wants.

Option 2 - Marc Jacobs purse - could easily get this one wrong. But it wont get cast aside in a few months when the next cool gadget comes out.

Safe purse:

Not so safe (but maybe more her):

Most Graphic Designers are Mac people. I still want an XP Dell Mini. -- nm - lileve Apr 22, 08:50 2
- I was a little surprised when i heard her talk about it as she is definitey more a mac than PC person -- nm - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:54 1
  - Depends on what she does, for web work you need to see what site will look like on a PC. Also some Adobe programs are PC only. -- nm - lileve Apr 22, 08:56
purse #2 - like it better. and i like getting someone something they probably would never get themselves, so i like purse better than mini. -- nm - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 08:33
I prefer the safe purse. that whole faux-animal stamping thing will be out in no time. at least a flat leather has a chance at future seasons. -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 08:32 5
- oh, also, most graphic designers are mac people. that's why I chose "purse" over "mini." -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 08:33 4
  - very true ... but she needs both for her work. Im leaning purse too now. -- nm - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:35 3
    - blue. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:35 2
      - Definitely the most risk for the most reward option :) hmm -- nm - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:42 1
        
        it's a very trendy color, and she's a designer. plus, it's just pretty. I would take that one any day. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:43
jeez, my brother is a jerk. he doesn't even call me. Oh, I'd take the Dell. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:32 1
- ...and between all the purses I'd take the faux croc in blue, hands down. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:33
