I am not 100% sure if I should put this in the "lover" section. But I'm looking for a birthday present for the girl I'm having a relationship with, this for about one and a half year.
Even though it's only in the beginning of march, I want it all arranged before I get in problems with time. Cause I know that during busy periods, I will have the time to think that I should be thinking which present(s) to give her.
I know she likes movies, dancing, cats and dogs and some other fluffy animals (sorry, but this word sounds somehow rude).
I had thought about just a weekend for the 2 of us, but I know that she would want to buy at least her share of that, you know^^)
Price variation...Maximum €130. But that would be for something special, I can't give €130 to a gift if you know what I mean. Something that could bring up memories.
I hope, my dear mylotters, you can give me some tips again.
All the best. The best of wishes for this year.

I'd say... The price doesn't really matter when giving a gift to someone special. It's the thought that counts at least you have something to present her on her special day. You could buy her a new fluffy pet if it fits to your pocket. Or a fluffy stuffed toy perhaps so she can always have it on her bedside and hugs it when she misses you.. ^_^ Roses of bouquet would be lovely with chocolates and a letter, if you want to be classic. I believe that still turns her on.
If you want something memorable you can buy a personalized couple mug with both of your pictures on it.. so she can enjoy drinking hot choco on a cold weather while looking at the pictures.
You can choose a gift that's something useful that you think she needs it real bad and somehow makes her remind of you... but if you can't think of anything, don't worry.. She'd be most happy to have you on her birthday even if you'd give her a simple present.

I really like the way you put it, honestly. And it's true that such things don't really should have a price on it. But in a previous thread some people bragged about that I said such thing and they said I should have a maximum limit to spend things on.
Unfortunately I have given all those things you mentioned up there, haha. Somehow it makes me feel in an elder time. But I sure try to make it something special, and I think that asking her friends to help me find more about her interests, it might easen my search for the "perfect" gift^^ I'll try to give her a day she dreams of

don't go into it thinking about price. when you do that, you see potential gifts in terms of dollars and not in terms of what she would like or not. it doesn't have to be expensive, as long as it's something that she will value and think of you every time she uses/sees it. i just got my girlfriend of one year a nice wristlet from dooney and bourke, and then put in two tickets for a broadway show she really wanted to see. it didn't break the bank, but it was thoughtful and led to a good time. be creative and don't only focus on price. cheers!

Yes, I know that price doesn't matter at all, but some time ago I asked a quite similar question, and I said price doesn't matter at all, and I really mean it when I say such things. But someone replied that you can give gifts the person likes, but it can't go above some limit, even though I think the "limit" I put here isn't as low, though I shouldn't think about it. Unfortunately there aren't as much fun parcs around and as school starts popping up again, is having a full day free a thing I won't have as often. I have been thinking about making a little party of her friends, herself, and me. In the late night some road of candles and give her something than, but it's too hard I think. It takes a lot of preparation (not that I mind such thing), but there will always be something that doesn't make it "perfect".
Thanks for the reply though, it is very appreciated^^
All the best in the new year.
