Ok, my new girlfriend leaves at the end of this week for summerschool on the east coast (she's incredibly intelligent). So yeah, I want to get her something sweet so she'll remember me when she's gone (she'll be gone for like a month). So far, her friends said maybe a hoodie, necklace, blanket, or something i made myself....i really have no clue, and i don't have much time. Any ideas guys?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Gift ideas?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

OK man...sorry noone is replying to your thread. I just wanted to offer support. I regret to say though that I don't really have an answer for you here.

Generally speaking, the gift should be very unique and related to your girl. Jewelry is way cliche and over used, as is perfume and stuff like that.
THe one idea I've had in my head for a few years, but never quite got to use, is a charm bracelet. The things aren't terribly expensive, and you can find some charms that relate to just the two of you. If you guys had a sweet time at a concert, theres charms with music. If shes madly in love with dancing, theres dancing things, etc.
This is one gift idea that can be totally customized so that you avoid the "generic" gift

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

hah Great minds think like meMrS said:
Another gift idea could be just as simple as a card with a custom message in it. Something you wrote and something that applies to just the both of you, maybe an inside joke or something.
