Gift ideas for GF's Birthday????

[mylife]

My gf's bday is coming up soon and I'm stuck for gift ideas. I'd like to stay away from jewelry and traditional ideas.

I was considering buying her certificates to something like a day spa where she could have her nails done, massage, etc.

What other ideas? I've sent her roses a few times already so I'd like to stay away from that also.

Her bday is our 1 year ann. as well so I don't mind spending a bit more than normal.

Are you creative? I'm a graphic artist, and gave my girlfriend (well, ex now) a card I made with a nice poem I wrote inside it. But, that was for nowhere near a year.

But, work up from that. She'll appreciate it because it's something you worked hard on just for her.

heh, funny you mention that. i've came up with a few ideas along those lines using photoshop. I'm considering printing out pics of us in the shape of various letters to spell a word like LOVE or something similar, then pasting it onto construction paper, fingerpainting various designs on the rest, and framing it. I know it's corny, but it'll make her panties moist.

i like that spa idea.

does she like to read? if she does, get her a book that u know she'd like (based on her interests). does she like music? get tickets to take her to a concert of a band she likes. or make her a mix cd of songs that remind you of her. (my bf did this, i liked it a lot).

Hi,

The spa idea is great, but some girls may freak out. Make sure she is not one of them. If she is at all insecure, she may take it that you don't like the way she looks.

If she isn't, here's a suggestion. Do not give her a gift certificate. If you have the money hire a limo to pick her up and take her to the spa. Gift certificates are really impersonal. The spa idea is great. The spa's by me have packages for $500 that include a limo ride to the spa and then to dinner, a makeover and dinner afterwards. Don't know how it is by you.

Also, the trip idea is great. Maybe a romantic bed and breakfast for the weekend. Or a cheesy pocano's sort of place. You know, champagne tub thing.

For my one year anniversary my hubby took me to Manhatten. We had dinner and went ice skating in Rockafella Center. I think he also bought me something, but what I remeber most is the dinner and ice skating. It was so wonderful.

Good luck!

I've thought of most these ideas, but I don't have the funds for us to go on a trip. We both take summer classes and work.

I've been searching for a Spa but haven't come up with much. There was 2 places I found on Digital City that I plan on calling.

What should I ask when I call? I don't want her going there for nutrition advice, weight loss, etc. She doesn't need any of that. She's 5'3 105. I was thinking more along the lines of a facial, massage, pedicure, nails, etc.

If any females are willing to call these 2 places for me and determine which is better I'd appreciate it. I don't know what ot ask them.

Hi,

I would ask them if they have any packages. They should have something like massage, facial and a manicure and pedicure. If you still don't feel comfortable calling, I'll call for you. Take care!

lol get her a day spa package... just dont tell her you're telling them to give her a brazilian wax included with everything.
