My Girlfriend's Birthday is Coming

Philippines

So I have been giving personalized gifts (scrapbook, swiss knife with "I Love You" engraved on it, letters, etc.) to my girlfriend in our one year of being together. And a few days from now her birthday is coming and my creative juice is failing me. I still do not have a clue what to give her. I do not want to give her something I got straight from the mall. I want it to be personalized, something that I worked hard for and would make her remember me if she sees it. I want her to appreciate my efforts instead of appreciating the price of the gift. Do you have an ingenious idea of what I can give to her? help me please. Thank you :)

Hi! wow it is unusual to hear that a guy gave a girl a scrapbook but that's very thoughtful of you. Maybe you can give her a collage of her pictures and then have it framed.Goodluck to you.

You need to keep in mind that each year, she will expect more so keep things simple and inexpensive for now. Write her a poem or take her on a romantic picnic with special, favourite food treats. Cook her a special meal using all your best china and glassware. Hire a favourite movie of hers and give her some home made vouchers for foot rubs or similar.

This is actually the day I dread most. How i wish my girlfriend's birthday would fall on Christmas, so I will just have to think of a gift that would be good for the 2 occasions.

I suggest you must give her something that she needs in her life....try looking on her old belongings or things that she dont posses yet. In that way she would appreciate your concern in her life.

If your girlfriend likes jewelry, you could make a customized jewelry box for her. Maybe just something small to hold her rings or something. You can buy boxes at any craft store and make a pretty design on it. Or, if you have a bit more money, you could have one custom-made for her. Then it could have a silver veneer or something.

Why not prepare a trip for your girlfriend. You can go together with her. And during the trip, you can also create some romantic memories.

welcome to the wonderful world of mylot. my suggestion is something that my wife gave it to me as an anniversary gift. i did not see it coming but of course this made me jaw drop. she search at the net ways how to massage and watch also at youtube and bouth some soothing oils. so i got a head to toe massage and a foot spa. during the massage i was shoot up in heaven and after that it was like sleeping on the clouds. it was the best gift ever. i hope my suggestion helps.

You want to give her something special that doesn't come from the mall. And you want something personalized, like your own craft. Then, since you did not write what is your craft or talent when it comes to crafting...I suggest you paint her photo if you know how to do that. Or, if you know how to sew..sew her a dress that you think she really like to wear. If you know some other crafts, made her a necklace from beads with earrings to match and also a bracelet. Just think of anything that signifies your love with personal touch. Oh well...how about a recorded songs of your favorites, but of course you should be singing those songs and strumming the guitar. have a good day

hmmm, how about you wrap yourself in a big box and send it to her house? That's romantic I guess. I don't know if I sound crazy.. but it is romantic and unusual :)

If you are a good in cooking, maybe give her a surprise small party and do the cooking yourself. I'm sure she'll appreciate it very much. Or if you can, just buy a love birds or puppy for her. Then you'll know if she could be a good future mother by testing her caring attitude...

I don't any idea about the gift you should give your girlfriend, because I don't know here. What I mean is that, you should know it better what the things she likes most.

What comes in my mind is a personalized shirt for both of you.You should put words that describe her or (words) what you love about her.I think that's nice and cute.Good luck and congrats.

Why not make her a blanket. Even a photo one from walmart are fairly inexpensive. Also photobooks from my publisher and such are awesome ideas to. Good luck

Well what does she like? Go with that. Haver you ever cook or bake for her? Maybe make a mix CD or something. Mix tapes are pretty ancient lol but I think it is one of the most romantic gifts ever. The swiss knife gift is pretty of the board but I like it.

I think a simple necklace or other jewelries is enough. I feel loved when my boyfriend gave me a matching necklace. We both wear it everyday and I was really happy.

If you had taken photographs of your time together. you can make a collage of it with lovely romantic captions on them! If you want it to be useful then you can personalise the locket and get a chain to go with it!
