Default Birthday Ideas for the Girlfriend




So I have been going out with a wonderful woman for the past 4 months ( ) and her birthday is coming on Monday (6th of DEC).

I already got her a 14 mp Canon Digital Elph, which takes great pics and is slick and cute. I would've gotten one with more bells and whistles but they are bulky and not as cute. I am thinking dinner/wine and then give her the gift at that point but I am very open to ideas.

If you haven't guessed I am extremely fond of this lady and want to do it right!

Thanks for any ideas, thought and insite you may have!!

It seems to me that you've got a good plan, already!

I bought some earrings from here. They are great pieces and the crystals are highly sought after. Great jewelry at a great price. Look to see if they have a store near you.

As Larry has said Swarovski is always good -- earrings, bracelets, and necklaces are always welcomed by women!

You might start off by having some nice flowers or a plant delivered to her at work along with a card. I know my wife (and her friends) always like receiving flowers at work...

I forgot about this -- it is a good idea too.

Also a Manicure or Pedicure (or both) are always good things to give..,

Sounds like you have a great plan. After dinner you should take her home, draw her a nice warm bath with candles and then get something from pajamagram for her to wear after. I have gotten my wife things from there and she always wears them.

You have a good plan. I have to agree women love flowers sent to their work for any reason or no reason. And if you really like her as in you might think she could be the one. You have to get some kind of jewelry.
