Birthday present for that female friend

[RaMar]

My best female friend's birthday is on Monday and I wanted to do something for her that she'd really like. This girl has been going out with her boyfriend for a year and a half now so I'm not trying to hook up with her, I probably would if she wasn't involved but she is, so I strictly see her just as a good friend. Anyway I don't want to get her balloons or anything normal like that (besides some other guy already is) just something small under $10 that she will really appreciate.

She got a new ford mustang today so I was thinking get her like the hot wheels version of it or something but I couldn't find one. While I was looking I came across this Ford Mustang Monopoly game which would be perfect since her whole family is huge fans of the mustang cars. The problem is its $35! Now I think I would be willing to spend that much on her, though very reluctantly. I'm just afraid it’s too much or will look like I'm trying to hard. Like I said I'm not interested because she already has a bf but I just think it looks a little weird to buy someone a $35 gift who has a bf.

Keep in mind I talk to this girl everyday and sometimes on the phone for hours. So we are pretty close but once again just friends and I'm buying this for her as a friend.

My question is, and this may sound stupid, but do you guys think I should get her the monopoly game? Or do you have any other ideas for a present?

Don't buy any presents for any woman that isn't your wife, or relatives in Christmas time.

Well, since she got a new car, you could go out and look for some cheap accessories. Maybe something to hang on the mirror? Dice or whatever.

I think you're lying to yourself and you're lying to us about not liking this girl. Especially because half your statements are trying to state that you don't like her and she's just a friend.

What are you doing with a female friend that you talk on the phone for hours anyways? I knew a guy like that back in high school. He was gay.

It's obvious that you do like her because you are spending a very large amount of time thinking of something so simple. And the reason you are trying to make it simple is because you're afraid it'll make you look like you're coming on to her. If she's a best friend, she probably doesn't care much about what you get her, as long as you're there. I don't get my homeboys anything for their birthday, but we do party.

Is this your best friend or your best female friend?

You want to buy her something good, but you're afraid because of the way it might look. Too much thinking, too much worrying, too much too much. Yes my friend, I think you are into this girl and just denying it because you don't want to try anything.

Tell me if she had a secret thing for you and you finally found out about it, you wouldn't jump on it and date her. She sounds like she means a lot to you.
