My friend is female, her best friend is female too. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 22, 18:58 24
- Oh, I thought it was a guy giving a gift to a married woman. Either -- nm - Chip Kelly Dec 22, 18:59
- then she can do either -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 18:59 22
  - although i guess the more proper gift would be for the couple -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 18:59 21
    - if by 'proper' you mean 'old-fashioned', then yes. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:35 12
      - or just the more considerate gift when someone is part of a couple -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 19:39 11
        
        mmm, i disagree with this. i only gift them as a couple (or buy a separate gift for the spouse) when i consider the spouse a friend too - kare Dec 22, 19:49 2
        
        I love the plate of cookies idea... -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:51
        
        as I said in another post, the best friend's job is to give her girly things. No one else will do it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:50
        
        I think it comes down to facts and circumstances. - znufrii Dec 22, 19:40 7
        
        I agree with this. And FWIW, if I'm giving gifts to my married friends, I give it only to hte friend most of the time. - loosilu Dec 22, 19:44 6
        
        totally. and the spouse generally doesn't give a shit anyway. i wouldn't. -- nm - kare Dec 22, 19:50 1
        
        frankly, it lets him off the hook a bit. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:51
        
        Perhaps the ideal solution is to get two gifts, one for the couple, and one just for the friend. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:46 3
        
        you could do that, but they should get you two gifts in return. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:48 2
        
        oh no you din't! -- nm - kare Dec 22, 19:52 1
        
        I'm joking! mostly. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:52
    - no way, friend needs to be treated as if she is still an individual (at least by her BFF) -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:19 7
      - except she's not single any more. think of them instead of yourself -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 19:23 6
        
        *she* needs to be treated as an individual. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:35 5
        
        she gave up that right when she got married. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 22, 19:39 4
        
        oh man. you guys don't know Girl Rules. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:40 3
        
        right? good christ man! -- nm - kare Dec 22, 19:52 2
        
        I was joking! -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 22, 19:54
        
        I'm so happy there is someone else here who knows the rules. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:53
