nyquist Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I'm one of those people who really cant figure out what to buy for anyone :/ Last year I bought my girlfriend a packet of ready salted crips, because I couldnt think of anything else :no: Soooo, I need to buy her something much better than crisps this year (which can't be that hard ;)) Any ideas? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40420_1437839287 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 What's ur budget? (Hopefully more then a packet of crisps this time me thinks). How long u been seeing her? Is an engagement ring on the cards?? Vouchers is way too vague to give ur g/f. It will lead to "oh u only care about me enough to get me vouchers", or "so u've known me x long and the best thing u can find for my interests is vouchers!" :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnjoyHIC Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 From past experiences in my life... which may or may not apply to the rest of the world... gift certificates and girl friend do not play well together... For some reason it comes across as not very personal... I personally would love a gift certificate.... it would save me from having to wear some stupid shirt that I don't really like just so I don't get asked... how come you never wear that shirt I gave you for Christmas... :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stncttr908 Veteran Posted December 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 2, 2003 Well, in the case of a girlfriend it would really depend on how long you've been seeing eachother. For example, if it had been awhile, (which is surely has, since you were seeing her last Christmas) then you could get her some nice lingerie or something along those lines. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 money is cool, gift certificates if you are sure they like that store. if youve got a store like brookstone or the sharper image, theyve got all kinds of really cool gadgets, you can find something for anyone in there, that stuff makes a great gift.

nyquist Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Oops, sorry I was a tad vague ;\ We've been seeing each other for about 2 1/2 years, although she was my best friend through primary and secondary school :) There isnt a budget, because as far as i'm concerned, she's priceless ;D ( soppy i know :blush: ) you could get her some nice lingerie or something along those lines I just might do that! ;DI gave her a gift voucher for her birthday last year, and she wasnt too impressed :pinch: I got the silent treatment for about a month for that one... Is an engagement ring on the cards?? I'm waaaaay too young for that one yet :D Thanks for your help guys \o/ :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan's Girl Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Jewelery. I absolutely love getting white gold necklaces. For how long you've been dating her, you might want to get her a silver, white gold, or gold locket. They come in all price ranges and styles... just take note of what kind of metal she likes. I never wear gold, and if I were to get a gold anything I'd be a bit put out. Stuffed animals. They actually have stores where you can go and make your own teddy bears and put little clothes on it and everything, I don't know if you'll have one near you, but it makes a good outing/date for you and her. Think of it as a bonus present, something to put in your card that you give her. Tell her that you have this planned up. I love it when things get pre-planned for me by BananaMan. It lets me know that he really thought things out. A DVD of a movie you two went out to see and really enjoyed. Something you two can sit down and snuggle to while it's all cold outside. Make some hot chocolate, too. ;) There are some ideas from a girls point of view. Hope they help! Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
