Help me out here...
My colleague has invited me to a surprised birthday party for his wife.
I've never met the woman in my life.
The guy is a nice chap. Only known him for 4 months or something but it seems much longer than that.
Normally you buy a gift if it was someone's birthday. Even if it's a card.
My question is: Should I buy the woman a card or something more?
OR
should I come empty handed and see what sort of friends she's got for me to flirt with?

flowers darling (given you don't drink: a bottle of fizz is far better given you get to drink it with them, but since you don't...)

The question is why don't you drink?

I'm not sure I understand your inference.
I am sure that it certainly couldn't be one which mocked me. Given that I am the only ****er who bothered to help you.

Re: Help me out here...
cash would be the simple option, or tickets to some kind of spa relaxation thing.

Buy her frilly underwear and give it to her with a thank you card instead of a birthday card. You will not be ionvited to any more birthday parties, problem solved forever.

Re: Help me out here...
I have to agree with Yahwe.
You're going to a party - take a bottle of wine. Inexpensive, not hard to find/choose and they will appreciate it at a party.
If you want to look really good buy an expensive bottle.

Aren't black men allowed to wear them and not give the impression that they're gay? Or is that merely black pimps?

Carve her name on your chest, surrounded by a heart.

Re: Help me out here...
So I ended up giving a card only.
She liked it.
It looked girly.
And pink.
And I got to pull her best mate.
