Xmas presents for GF's.

[PeterCrouch]

Struggling for ideas for xmas presents for a pretty serious nearly 3 month relationship. although weve known each other for 5.

She's into the normal girly stuff, Diamonds, Disney, Pillows, Animal prints etc.

Were off on holiday with each other a week or so before xmas, and wont be spending xmas day together because of family stuff, but I intend to give what ever I get for her on holiday or the day we get back, but not let her open it untill xmas day obviously.

A couple of ideas I have had so far from myself and others.

A disney pillow with a space for a photo on it. She has millions of pillows on her bed and loves them and I have seen disney pillows with a space for a photo to be slept on before.

The board game operation. Dont know if anyone knows what that is but she adores the game and told me a story of how she wanted it last year but never got it. So I could get her this. Obviously not as the main present but as part of it.

Someone said a diamond, but to be honest my thoughts are that is way to serious and also i know its something an ex of hers got her with 2 saphires and i dont want her remembering that so maybe a nice silver necklace.

Anyway, any ideas and stories of what they have got and done to there girlfriends before would be helpful.

Thanks.

Also one other thing, I was thinking of asking one of her closet girlfriends for a bit of help. Do you suggest this?

Bearing in mind, I have never met any of her friends (For reasons I dont really wanna go into. Mainly because we got a little distracted when I was supposed to go meet them lol) so I would probably facebook them with a message or something.

I think EVERYONE knows the game "Operation" lol.

I think you should ask her friends what she might like or what she loves but take it with a grain of salt. I think you should get her maybe pajama's you know the loose fitting one )not lingerie( with maybe a Disney princess. It's a good thing your not getting her a diamond because you barely know the women and a less serious gift is always preferable then an over the top gift. Good luck.

how old are you guys?

I've been dating my g/f for about a month now and I went out today and bought her a bottle of lotion at Victoria's Secret for $9 and an incense kit (the kind you don't light) at Target for about $15 and I think even THAT may have been a little over the top. It's true that girls love getting presents, but you definitely don't need to go breaking the bank for all this.

DON'T get her diamonds. If you get her something expensive like that, sure, she'll be appreciative, but then she'll probably expect nicer things in the future. At 3 months into a relationship, I don't think you need to be getting her diamonds. Maybe at one year you could consider something like that.

She is 19. I'm 21. I'm not going to get her diamonds. What about a necklace?

 

[young_gun]

I think that would be ok, but once again, don't go breaking the bank on it. I got one of my old g/f's a necklace at about 5 months into the relationship. It was about $49, but it looked like it was pretty expensive. Does she have a birthday coming up?

I'd give her a pat on the back and a breakup on dec 20 than when she cries and pleads for you not to go let her come back on dec 27 so the whole gift giving thing passes without you feeling so obligated. Then you can still go out for new years and you won't be a bad guy for dumping her on christmas. this is why i hate gift giving holidays. no dude wants to give presents. My favorite present is "you don't have to give me a present." Sweet.
