So yeah... I'd like to get my girlfriend something nice to Christmas... We've only been going out for a month but we've been friends for a long time, but I still don't know what's a good present for a female, as I'm kind of new at this. Any advice would be good, I'd like female points of view, but first hand gift-giving experience by the guys would be nice too.

Here's what my GF said.

"Anything that looks nice or smells good is good enough for a girl"

She thinks guys are hard to buy for. I think that's stupid.

Man: Baby, I've been sleeping with your sister.
Woman: *gasp* Well, which one?
Man: All of them.
Woman: *gasp* Well, I've been sleeping with your best friend Jake!
Man: Yeah, well me too! And I've been sleeping with your dog Woofy!
Woman: Woofy?! You *****! Well, I'm also sleeping with your pet goat!
Man: That goat doesn't love you.............

Well, sorta depends on the type of girl she is. Let me know that and I might be able to help.

I'm sure you can find her a nice necklace or something.

What if she's lactose intolerant?

I would say just shop around... and keep in mind, the thought you put into it will mean worlds more to her than the price of it
that was probably really cliche advice but I don't really have any other productive input to say

Anything that shows you have been paying attention to what she is saying when she talks to you. Women like to talk. They want men to listen. Use this to your advantage grasshopper.

Maybe you should get her a few candles that smell good.

------------------
Just b/c you're paranoid, don't mean that they're not after you!

Heh... That was my last thread, how do you think I got one?

Just kidding. She's not lactose intolerant uh... she's fairly girly, and likes uh... girl stuff... probably... damnit... help.

Buy her an anklet (sp?)

my buddy bought his gf one, its pretty nice, cost him about $120 (canadian) its silver and if I remember right has a few diamonds in it. he was gonna get a Dolphin thing to attach to it but he can't find one that won't cost like $300 cause they'd have to order one in..


edit btw: you said its one month - my buddy did this LAST christmas, and it was their second month - that doesn't matter if its the first month or one year, girls love jewlery.

i'm gonna buy my girl one this year maybe, not sure yet.. and a stuffed flamingo (her fav. animal) /sweater or something

Flowers, chocolates, her favourite perfume....those kinda things will work with most women....anything more specific would require more info on her specific tastes

Go to the store, find a nice little box (think wooden that looks nice and you can put like pictures or just stuff in, must be kind of big)

Get her favorite candy. If you dont know, buy her Hershey's Hugs, they're the best.

Buy her a CD or DVD that she wants.

Get her a nice little article of clothing, think hat, scarf, or gloves.

If you're feeling ultra manly go to a Bath and Bodyworks type store and buy her some of that kind of stuff. The vanilla scented hand moisturizer, sanitizer, soap, or anything like that is awesome.

Put everything into the box, lastly the chocolates so they kind of go around everything else.

Put a bow on box, or wrap it, but just a bow would be ok.

Give to your girlfriend. I've done this at least twice and my girlfriend always likes it the best because it's just a bunch of little things but she knows that I took the time to pick them all out.

You can also substitute the box with a large glass candle thing or just a big glass shaped anything that will hold the above items. Candles are always loved.

Presents? Why are you giving her presents? She's got friends for that kind of thing. Spending money on her like that cheapens y-.....wait, forgot I'm not pagewizard.

Um, yeah. Chocolates sound good.

These sound good to me.

I was talking to a girl, and she said almost exactly the same thing (she even said that guys are hard to buy for...) but, she also added "tastes nice" to the 'things to get for girls' list.

If there is a 50% chance that you are going to be right, there is a 90% chance that you will choose the wrong one ~SithNazgul, the 50-50-90 rule

okie um, get her a rose or a flower, just one really delicate pretty one, and some chocolate, thats standard and fairly inexpensive. since its a month and its christmas you dont jus wanna shrug off the present so get her someting that shows her you've listened to her.. jewellry does work, but buyin really expensive stuff for someone you've been with a month isnt sensible, plus it might scare her that youre bein clingy or somethin (i dunno all girls are diff). so i dont know, find out something she likes, and try looking for a necklace or a bracelet with that on it. if all else fails the initial of her name..thats gotta be easy to find.. personally, im an astronomy freak, so my bf has this goal where to buy me this one really pretty bracelet that has little, really detailed versions of the planet and its all silver, and theres one little one that has a diamond in it, and its the sun, aka a star, and mushy mushy he wants to say i'm his star etc so yeah...jus an example, if you know something about her, apply your knowledge! ooh and dont be afraid to make her something..makin even the littlest thing shows effort

Charm bracelets are always nice. You can find some really nice looking necklaces for under #30. And as others have said, if you know her really well, put that knowledge to use.
