girlfriend gifts
 

Any ideas? I really have no idea what to get Lady Cashmoney.

What does she like, how much $$ do you want to spend, how long have you been together....come on now, don't make us do all the work....

hon, you have to think! :D
perfume, clothes, jewelry. how about a gift basket with a generous gift certificate surrounded by flowers, candy, and stuffed animals. ( i think my fantasy took over there. i personally would love that) ;)

Hotel room complete with champagne, red rose petals in a jacuzzi, roses and a nice romantic dinner... Lots of candles.

My boyfriend did this for me last year and I absolutely loved it.

Something that actually shows that you thought long and hard about her -- not about what to get her. I mean - a guy can throw perfume, jewelry, and other trinkets at me all day long - but if he gives me something that shows he gets me, it's a much more memorable and appreciated gift.

Think about your lady friend and the kind of person that she is. Think about the things she's mentioned in conversation, the things that trouble her, the things that would make her life easier. Think of something that when you give it to her, she'll always think of you from that point forward.

Good luck!

Don't get her a humidifier. Trust me, girlfriends don't appreciate that.

Depending on how long you've known her, I think jewelry would be a safe bet (I say depending on how long you've known her because if you've known her a while, you'd obviously want to get something a little nicer). I don't know any girl who doesn't like jewelry. Or, if there's something she's mentioned that she'd like to have, get it--nothing's better than letting a girl know you listen when she talks! :)

No coupons for "cash money love" either.

I agree with the Jewlery suggestion. Can't go wrong with that ever in my book.

Jewelry always works, but stay away from whatever the hot item is...look in the side cases for the stuff not everyone has.

Whatever you get her, also burn a CD* that has songs that are either special to the both of you, or of a band she likes that are hard to find.

*You have no idea how hard it was not to say "make her a mix tape."

Awe! That sounds so sweet! I'd take that in a heart beat. It's all about the romance :)

Ok, here's the low down....


I can't get her Jewelry because I've picked out some diamond earrings I want to get her for V-day ( which pops up sooner than you realize after Christmas). That said, I don't want to get her the same type of gift twice. The romantic champange/strawberries and rose petals type of stuff is what I'ma do for her Birthday. I've thought about all the others days but christmas......I thought it'd be so easy. I was thinking about getting her a golden retirever since she loves them so much. She's in love with mine ( his name is brinkley after the dog in you've got mail ). But I'm not sure if her apt lets her have dogs, plus I'd have to put down a deposit for it being in the apt which in florida usually runs you about 400-500$. The puppy itself will cost me 599$. I've also thought about getting her a bunch of gift certs to all of her favorites stores she likes to shop at, but that just seems too plain. I've also thought about getting her a pair Christian Dior shades to sport around in and a nice watch.

I'm really lost on what to get her and I feel bad. We've already picked out my gift. She's getting me an awesome bed set from bed bath and beyond, its a feather comfortor and some silk bed sheets that are off the chain.....none of which are cheap. That said, I feel like I need to get her something just as good if not better of a gift. She says she'll be happy with whatever I get her. I'm just so lost on what would be a good gift that wont be forgotten within a yr.

I've burnt her so many mixed sets that I've played at clubs/parties. She likes techno music just as much as I do if not more. She's actually trying to get me to take her to the Love Parade in Germany this up coming spring.

awwwwww, fuzzy puppy. :) that sounds like too much though, especially if you're not sure about her apartment situation.

how about the Dior shades, the watch and a stuffed golden retriever for now? There are some stuffed ones that cost as much as the real thing. :D

You can practice by buying me the Rolex I want if it will make you feel more confident. ;)

I sell them...come buy one from me ;)

I dont have that kind of money yet.

It's called FINANCING...and almost every jewelry store is offering it this time of year ;) One Year Interest Free - you should get a matching one ;) Ha Ha Ha :p

Tell me what some of you think about this? How about one of those couples spa packages? Or how about one for her alone? She likes to be pampered.

well good luck, it's cute your putting thought into it

what a cool idea!!
 

If you would enjoy it, the couples one would be great. After all you are both going to be using the sheets & comforter. :)

Financing=Debt......thats not smart.

Re: what a cool idea!!
 

This is very true!!;) The spa thing would be awesome, I love to be pampered just as much as the next person. But I feel guilty for thinking of that, it'd be for me too.;)

Spa package, Dior shades, nice watch, all of those are excellent ideas. Dog is a good idea, but only IF she's specifically said she wants one and her apt can have one. Puppies are a lot of work.

I like the gift certs to her favorite stores idea too--you could package it up really cute, either wrap each in its own box, or do them in a basket with flowers or other small cute things... I think this one is very thoughtful, since you'd be showing her you know where she likes to shop...

What about a digital camera and photo printer?? Oh wait, that's my preferred gift this holiday season... ha ha

Mr. Amycat is taking me to Cabo for Christmas. I am taking Mr. Amycat to Cabo for Christmas. ha ha It works for us. We like the sun and warm beaches.

What guy in their right mind would do that?:rolleyes:

Heh, I'd take a trip to Alcupoco (sp?).

Spa package would do it for me. Think Ritz Carlton Amelia Island...hmmm, maybe I'll ask for that this year ;)

I think that no matter what you get her, obviously you're putting thought into it, and that's what matters....your consideration and caring are what's most important, and no matter what you do, you're going to give that to her. She's a lucky lady, and I think you've got some excellent ideas. The whole spa thing is a great idea....plan a spa day for her and then when she's feeling 100% take her out for a simple (yet special) night on the town...dinner out and maybe driving around looking at all the Christmas Lights (depending on where you live either in the car or walking around). I think that'd be a great idea! Good luck and keep us updated

If nothing else, this thread proves something I've felt for a long, long time:

I'm a very unusual girl. ;)

I'd personally go with Chanel shades over Dior. There's these pink Chanel ones that I want with the little C's on the side. But, we're talking about what she wants.... :)

Here's an idea. Bring her to a nice spa (maybe go back to West Palm or Miami...there's nicer ones there) and just spend the day together. Then, take her shopping at some nice SoFl mall. Hang out at the beach for a little while. And then take her somewhere nice for dinner. I think she'd like the idea of going back to South Florida for the day and just hanging out at all the nice places. I can definitely see her going for that. ;) (yes, GCers, I know Lady Cashmoney)

Definitely a great idea! Get her a half or full day at the spa, depending on how much you want to spend. Or get her the earrings for Christmas, and then do the couples spa package for Valentine's Day. My hubby and I had a couple's massage on our honeymoon and it was FABULOUS! Definitely something we would do again.

I would personally stay away from the puppy idea. Unless she has specifially mentioned to you that she wants one, it's a bad idea. Puppies are a lot of work. They need feeding, walking, practically24/7 love and attention, vet bills, etc. They're expensive and time consuming. This isn't something you should surprise her with.
Also, if you did get her a puppy I hope you get one from a reputable breeder and not a pet sotre. I say this because I have huge issues with pet stores. You don't know where they get their animals from. They could come from good breeders but they also might come from puppy mills. And those place are awful (to say the least), but I'm getting of track now.
Other than that I would have to agree with everyone else. prefume and jewlery are always safe bets if you really are lost for ideas.

I'll have to look at the Chanel shades next time I'm in the store, I never really paid attention to those.

I think the SoFl idea is good. She really likes Miami. Paul Van Dyk is coming to Miami this month to play at club Space ( Yes, I still like going to clubs like that every once in awhile) and she wants to go. I think I might take her down there 2 days in advance of the show and do the Spa, chillin on the beach, shopping and dinner thing. I could get her the shades while shopping with her and act like it wasn't planned:cool: That would just melt her little heart.;) She wouldn't stop kissing me for days..:D


Thank you everyone for the ideas....I'll keep you all posted.

Yea, I really want to do the spa thing. But, it aint cheap...lol:D The couples thing is really expensive at the place I'm thinking about going to. If I want to do all the other stuff for her, I'll only be able to afford a package just for her....;) My mom thinks I should look elsewhere for places that are a lil'bit cheaper than the one I have in mind if I'm going to do the couples one and the other stuff for her.
