Girlfriend Xmas Present?

[Firestar]

You said she wanted jewelry? Check if there's a jewelry making class in your area, and make her something. It would be somewhat homemade.

From my observations, girls love Sephora. But I have a feeling you would rather buy Mac. 😛

You say that she's expecting to be overwhelmed, but isn't really looking for a handmade gift or ordinary jewelry. I think she's expecting you the pop the question, man. 😀

Check out etsy.com

I always go there to buy my gf gifts and such, lots of handmade stuff such as jewelry and shoes and bags, etc

Get a ring with a diamond on it...ask her parents a certain question of taking their daughter for life, and loving her...then ask her the same question...


Xmas present for life-DONE.

Second the etsy.com. Lots of creative unique stuff. I spend hours browsing that site.

I would ask your uncle and see if he is equipped to help you make the jewelry box. It wouldn't take you more than a good days worth of work since they are fairly compact. Doesn't ever hurt to ask and see if he would mind being of assistance.

I will second what some other people have said about looking at etsy.com they have some really nice cheeky girly stuff that she might like.

I would possibly stay away from electronics unless you are absolutely 100% sure she wants it and has wanted it for quite some time. IE you have been together and she has talked on multiple occasions about wanting an iPod Touch. Otherwise she might not take kindly to being given gadgets unless she's mildly geeky.

EDIT: She loves Angry Birds

Does she like cakes?

Otherwise, I think the jewelery in a box that you made is a really good idea.

I'm going to add my support to the "experience" idea over a thing. Make a lasting memory - that's much more valuable than any specific item. Of course you could give her jewelry or something there and then so you don't show up "empty-handed", but then tell her to set aside some specific day where you can surprise her with an adventure.

Home made coupon booklet. 30 minute massage, day of chick flicks, day trip of her choice, instant forgiveness, etc. Preferably something naughty. 😛

Don't forget to also include a few 'get out of jail sex free' coupons. 😉

If only I could. While we're both 22, our parents are extremely conservative, so I can't take her to spend the weekend someplace else.

Then this will be a good first time. Time to cut the naval cord.
