Make the gift yourself. Making a present shows that you care enough to spend time and effort. Either way, consider the following: Get her a framed picture of you two. For bonus points, make or decorate the frame. Write a list of the reasons you love/like her. She will just DIE of happiness if you do this. Make sure the list is sincere and meaningful. It must be at least 10 reasons why. Hand write it, even if you have really bad handwriting. She will keep it forever! A handwritten love letter is an excellent choice, too. Some girls love flowers. If she has a green thumb, get her a potted plant so she can take care of it. Try jewelry. This includes a necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings. Do not get her a ring unless you’re planning to propose. Also, stick to the basic silver or gold (anything more colorful just screams middle school). It doesn’t have to be expensive, just meaningful. Try Claire’s for jewelry under $20, or look at your local art and wine festival for an artistic selection. If you’re handy, search the wikiHow category on jewelry for pieces you can make yourself. Get her a joke gift. For example, if you two have an inside joke about monkeys, get her a stuffed monkey, or make her a sock monkey. Get her a sweatshirt or tee shirt from a memorable place you two went. For example, if you went to an Angels game, get her an Angels sweatshirt. If you haven’t yet been somewhere memorable together, take her somewhere special and make that part of the gift. If you have awhile until your girlfriend’s birthday, make her a scrapbook of the places you two have gone. Include pictures, ticket stubs, etc. Note that this takes a lot of time to be really good, so if you’re only thinking of it the night before, save this thought for next year. Get her a book or journal. Write something on the inside front cover to give it a personal touch. Help her keep a journal of your relationship if it seems appropriate to do so. Get her her favorite candy.
