Ok, I admit I'm such a bad boyfriend. My girlfriend's birthday is today and I have not bought anything yet. My band mate's girlfriend told me to go buy a perfume with a citrus-y scent. I honestly don't know what that is. If you were in my situation, what would you buy for your girlfriend/boyfriend if it was today?

Hello chipestkhan, Don't fret; as long as it's something she likes. To be honest just ask her what does she likes in general and get her that. You can make her a card, write a poem or send her flowers. There's many way to make a girl happy. Just make sure you get the messager out there clear. "Girl, you are my princess and the day of your birth is something SPECIAL worth celebrating" :)

thank you so much. I guess I'll have to figure out what citrus-y smells like. I've already made a song for her and a poem but all of these before her birthday.

Just 1 red rose with a note that says..."You are crazy! And I love you, therefore, I am crazy too." :) simple gift can be more meaningful and special if you put all your hearts on it.

I agree with Protogirl. The most important thing for you to do, is to do something she really likes, or buy her something she really likes. It all depends on her primary love language and what her emotional needs are. For some women, it's all about the gifts. They want the bling and the flowers and the chocolates and the dinner out, etc. For others, a simple rose with a heartfelt poem being recited (or a really mushy card lol) would be perfect. Others yet, might just like being pampered and helped out more than usual for the day (do her dishes? help her clean the house? etc). Maybe she wants some special time together, just the two of you? Scented body oil for a nice massage? Draw her a bubble bath? Heck, if she's into sports, maybe go out and play some catch or frisbee! Good luck! But remember.. as long as what you're doing is from the heart, and with HER in mind (based on all the info you already have about her)... you'll do JUST FINE!!!

I can relate to this discussion because my girlfriends birthday was just last Sunday. If you gonna ask me to what I did for her birthday, I cooked many foods for her celebration and we celebrate it with her family. Her family was shocked that I can cook and they were happy for it as well. Then before she blow the candle on her cake, I gave her a pink guitar. It is not that expensive but I know that she really wants to have one. She is very happy about the guitar thing. I guess you should know his/her likes and dislikes or just surprise her with a flower early in the morning. Good luck and Happy birthday to your girlfriend. God bless

Get her CK Summer if she wants citrus-y scent. You're going to get her something she wants anyway, so get her that. Plus, when you're at the boutique, i'm sure the guy/lady at the counter will know what you mean, and they'll give you different perfumes to choose from, so go from there. Oh, and get her flowers. She'll like that. Does she like bowling? take her bowling. That's fun. It's such a hot day out, go somewhere cool. I thought you already took care of this one??

Something unique. I am sure she will love it if you cook for her, dinner for two at your place or her place, scented candles, flowers. That worked when I forgot my girlfriend's birthday. No time to go looking for gifts so I told her I have something prepared for her back at my place. We had steak, got the recipe from my mum. I also made sticky toffee caramel, her favorite dessert, its good I found a recipe of it online. It turned out great!

Wow, sounds like my kinda dinner! And you're home which is good because you don't have to spend anything on her special day, plus you're together and you can do anything you want!

Till now I didn't give any gift to my boyfriend nor he gave me. We love each other but because of certain consequences, we weren't able to gift each other on our birthdays. My birthday passed a few months back and ofcourse my boyfriend wished me happy birthday. He had planned to give me a flower and a chocolate but I had gone home soon, so he wasn't able to. So, he said me that he felt really angry and that he threw the flower and his brother ate that chocolate. So, when he said me that he had brought those things, I got really happy even though I didn't get it. So, I really think that whatever your boyfriend/girlfriend gifts you you should accept it and like it. Atleast he/she thought for you and brought you something.
