so here I am back asking for ideas for a birthday present for my girlfriend.
If I was rich i bet i'd have a lot better imagination for this. But honestly, i'm stumped.

she's turning 24. any ideas folks?

perfume!

Tell me more about her...that might help me, help you.

Can't go wrong with a diamond

mdiver said:

yes diamonds are a girl's best friend

MoniGram said:

But it depends how long they have been together.... if I just started seeing a guy, diamonds would freak me out.


How about a watch?

Sweeny79 said:

why?

Sweeny79 said:

A watch could be nice...or how about just taking her shopping for a new outfit...always good! Or a purse! If she likes purses!

mdiver said:

it'd freak me out too.

MoniGram said:

if only. so...she's an actress, a dancer, a singer...pretty much an all round performer. she's into silly comedies like anything by Ben Stiller and she loves Meatball films like SuperBad. She also loves serious films like Memoirs of A Geisha and Whalerider.
She's a personal trainer at the moment but that doesnt capture her long term goals.

anything else?

What kind of dance does she do? That could help pick out a gift!

yeah well Ben is a tightwad...you will be lucky to get a pot noodle how very "student"

MoniGram said:

she's trained in all of it. except maybe like Salsa.

MoniGram said:

a pole dancer

Milty said:

Hmmmm....do you all have a ballet company where you live. Ballet tickets would be nice

Milty said:

Buy her a pole

mdiver said:

That's more of a gift for him!

roses..try writting a poem..make it something minimal, if you go for the materialist root what feeling does that show her? give her something that is close to your heart, or an expression of your love to her.

Because diamonds are a serious gift.... they are expensive...If it's a baby relationship you don't know where it's leading you are just having fun together and diamonds are serious and expensive, they connotate a a vested interest.
at the start of a realtionship I'm just not there yet and I wouldn't want a guy to be there either, then I'd feel pressured.

I think it's safe to say that diamonds are appropriate when you are at or close to the one year mark.

But this is just me, and I'm a little screwy in my thinking at times.

What's your budget?

MoniGram said:

co sign!

mdiver said:

mdiver said:

If someone is serious enough about you to move across an ocean... diamonds are a little thing

Sweeny79 said:

and that's what i'm also doing. she's in NYC and I'm here. i'll be joining her in January.

come on people what else!?

Does she have a digital camera? They're fairly cheap these days - even the big brand names like Fuji and Panasonic do low-price budget models.

You could then take her for a picnic on top of a mountain or in your favourite spot, so she can use the camera.

I'd love that. I really would.
