danver4th Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I’m buying a gift for this girl that I’m really into. I was thinking of getting her a Lancome makeup kit for her birthday. She’s into girly stuff but I’m not too sure if she’s very invested with makeups. Although, I saw her a couple of times wearing them. Generally, are single women in Thailand into cosmetics? I’m travelling there in a couple of weeks and I’ll give it to her myself. That is if it’s a good idea. Advice, anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poanoi Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 yes, most of them from my impression, thankfully its a subtle amount of it tho. the bigger issue is that its not possible to predict exactly what flavor of anything, so unless they specified to the last letter what it is they want, its better to give money and they can make the selection them self IMO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She might take it the wrong way. well, my experience is that whatever i bought wasnt good enough unless it was both specified and understood to the last letter, so that also causes a weird sensation for myself, i rather just give money to cover their desire these days, or save myself the expense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntDee Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 OP, If the girl is a lower class one, just give her the money. If she is a decent middle class girl, then you should do 2 things: 1. Take the time to discretely learn what exactly she likes. That's part of thoughtful gift giving. 2. If you decide to her a thoughtful gift, Thai girls often really enjoy gifts that are not easy to get. So, makeup not readily available in Thailand would be an idea. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracas Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 "Makeup". I think you would be better off just starting an argument with her, then find out if she is into makeup sex before you go giving her expensive gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko123 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) You're buying make up for someone you don't even know if they like makeup? Kind of weird in my book. Even if she's really into makeup, it's such a personal item and skin types and complexions vary so much. Maybe skin care products would be a better bet? Or a gift certificate? Or a spa or beauty parlor certificate? To be honest, I've never bought cosmetics for a woman before, but if I did it would probably be to restock her supply of a brand I knew she already really liked.

HungDonger Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 She will love your gift. When I travel I always bring make-up back to my Thai lady friends....they love it. Thai-made make-up is poor quality so 'imported' make up is always well received. My g/f says there aren't many Thai girls who don't love make-up.

"Here you are darling', 'What's this for?', 'I thought you might like to buy some makeup' That would not be a good idea. If you say that to a woman she'll take it as you saying they look bad without makeup. Same goes to the OP. If you buy something as personal as makeup, it'll be seen as a comment on their personal appearance. Just don't, or at least ask her if there is a particular item of makeup she'd like. Mine liked a particular brand of mascara that she couldn't get in LOS. Safer to just take her out to a nice restaurant when you get here. They love eating.

Can samui Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Just my two satang worth here but try this.Tell her you want to buy her something special and offer to take her to a high end makeup place and let her try products and decide on what she wants.It will show her you care about her and her opinion.Might be worth a go.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckThai Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Whatever you decide to buy her, make sure it has bragging potential, when she posts it on social media to her friends. Brand name (western) perfume, a small purse, jewelry (gold obviously)....and prepare to shop while here. If all else fails....Iphones work nicely too...555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyFriend You Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Thats like asking "Is the Pope a Catholic" It can backfire with some girls, they might take it as you don;t think they are pretty enough. I wouldn't give cash either, but, maybe a gift certificate atone of the big end Mall make up stores, that way she can buy what she likes. But don't be cheap about, I'd guess minimum 10,000 baht. They will help he pick iy out and teach her how to use it.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
