Well, it's birthday time soon (and annaversary not far off either!) and I need to get a present or two for my g/f.
I've thought about all the obvious ones, flowers, chocolate, jewellery etc. But I wanted to be a bit different.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I know I'm the person who knows her best and will know what she would like, but sometimes there are such simple things that I overlook and any suggestions would be most welcome.
She doesn't really have any hobbies as such, so no obvious things to go for.
Oh, and the birthday is not a majorly significant one (not 18 or 21 or anything) and the annaversary is a year (of being together, not marrige), if that helps.
Thanks people.

a hot air baloon trip!
flying lessons!
or maybe just nice bottle of bubbly... the usual perfume and stuff is always nice- as long as you get it right. but i like being taken out for special occasions so i can have the memories too.
good luck and make it fun
He always wore a broken watch his mate had given him years ago - God knows why- so I got him a nice Diesel one last year. Use yer noggin. :chin:
take a couple of quid like £40, ya never know, she is a girl!
p.s. b careful dat she dont take ya into a bra n kinckers shop ))
:thumb: :yes:
If you remember something special from when you first met, or something you know she thinks of when she thinks of you.....cant think of any examples soryy
but think about it
Some driving lessons if she's old enough?
My boyfriend has just about gone through the lot with me from like a new phone to underwear jewellery/dvds just about what ever you can think of. Just buy something that you think she needs, and if she doesnt need anything then somthing you think she will like. Also guys cooking the girls dinner nearly always goes down very well.
if you aint got a tight budget you could spend the night/2 in a hotel room etc..
take to a themepark!! that'd b cool. last year my bf took me out to alton towers and it was really good! i enjoyed it and so did he!
Thanks for the ideas, the trouble with a lot of them, like me cooking, little mix cd's and stuff is that I do that anyway as a treat, so to do it for her birthday as well won't be all that special. Maybe I should stop doing things like that the rest of the time LOL!
Thanks for the ideas though, keep them coming!
I wouldn't give her a ring incase she thinks you want to get engaged!
How about getting a big card and trying to write a poem getting flowers delivered first thing that morning and some nice jewellery and maybe even get it inscribed giving it the extra touch- all woud show U made effort to so cant really faiL!
On one of my ex's birthdays I went over early, got permission to get in obviously. Made her breakfast in bed.
After that I took her shopping at one of her favorite jewelry stores.
Then that night I gave her some ring I bought her, and went to dinner at her house with candles and stuff. Then had some blankets and a sleeping bag set up to lay under the stars.
It's seriously pathetic how I am sometimes.
