One month later, my girlfriend's birthday will be coming. But I don't know what I should give to her as her present.
My mylot friends, do you have any annoyances about your presents which should give to your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend on the festivals? As you know, there are too many festivals in our life, Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, birthday, many memorial days and so on. When the above festivals are coming, I need to worry about what I should give to my girlfriend as the present. Sometimes, I am even crazy about that. I love my girlfriend, but sometimes I really don't want to consider that which the nice present si.
Not only my girlfriend, but also sometimes I also need to give presents to my parents, brother and other relatives. I will be crazy.
Anyway, my mylot friend, do you have any good ideas about the presents which I should give to my girlfriend?

Although presents are usually expected from partners in a relationship, I believe that it is not a must. If it does not make you feel happy, then don't do it because doing so however just defeats the purpose. When you give something, the main reason must be because you want to. Ever heard of the saying "It's the thought that counts"? It just states that sometimes the thought itself is more important than the actual present, so if you feel burdened about purchasing gifts then there are many ways to attain or create one. Sometimes, gifts that are personally done like handicrafts, home-made cards, etc. are more valued and liked than those easily bought. I'm sure you already know this , too, don't you? So, why really trouble yourself when you can show in many other ways that you love a person. If they love you as well, they will definitely understand if you do not have any gifts at all for them. For some, even love alone is enough.

What you said is very nice. But as you know, each girl wants to receive a specific gift on the memorial days. If you don't give her something, they will think that you don't love her enough. If you give her an ordianary gift, she will have the same idea. I could understand her idea. If you don't have the patience to choose a nice present for her, how can I do something more difficult for her.
I should think more about what I should give her. Maybe an ipad3 is a good idea.

if you are willing to spend more just to suffer, that's up to you, but I'm sure she will understand it if you just gave something really unique and not necessarily expensive. Like I said, something with a personal touch on it makes it extra special and it will definitely be priceless.
But Of course, I get your point though. I mean who wouldn't want and be happy with jewelries and gadgets, right?

It can be hard to decide what you would like to buy for your girlfriend, but I think that the trick would be to just make sure that you're getting her something that she will enjoy. You must know at least a little bit about the types of things that she likes, and if you can't think of anything specific then something like chocolates or a nice bottle of perfume would be the best thing that you could do. This means that you would be able to get her something that is safe as you know that she would enjoy it, and also you wouldn't have to spend too much time thinking about it.

what you said is a nice proposal. Chocolates may not be a good idea, but a bottle of perfume seems very nice.
As you said, I don't want to waste too much time on thinking about the present for her. But I could understand a girl's mood, she really want surprise on some special days. And if I don't have the patience to choose a nice girl, how can I do something more difficult for her. I need to overcome my lazy mind.
Thank you very much for your kind response. Perfume is really a nice gift.

I think you should not worry much about the kind of presents you will give your loved ones. Remember , it is always the thought that counts.
Just give them something that can be really useful to them.

If I were in your shoes, I would give her a nice and colorful journal or 2013 planner. With that, she can write her thoughts and also keep track on her schedules and lot more. This piece is so useful to keep note of special events. I know, she will appreciate that most especially if that thing will be personalized to her liking. Good luck. What matters is that you remember her on her special day. You may bring it with balloons or flowers, Be creative. That's my own point of view, as a woman, married with someone who makes me feel important. Thanks

Im sure she will happy with what ever you decide to give her. Birthdays are important, but gifts shouldnt be. People seem to put to much meaning into gifts. Remember its the thought that counts.
