Last minute gift idea for girlfriend?

John Redcorn asked:


I still have a week so it’s not so very last minute! Her birthday is next week, she turns 22 (i turn 23 in april.) we’ve known each other since we were in high school in 2001. been dating for half a year now, and i’m drawing blanks on a gift.

For Valentine’s i took her to the best french restaurant in houston, and bought her a small $200 white gold diamond necklace.

I’m planning on proposing soon, so i know she’ll be getting a big diamond ring within a couple months.

But for her birthday, i’m not sure what to get her. we’re going to go out to eat fri, sat, and sunday, so dining out is taken care. we’re also going to be in houston, san antonio, and college station, so sight seeing and road trips are out of the question.

I’m just looking for a gift. she likes baseball, but always has tickets. she loves movies, and already has hundreds of them. she likes country music, so we’re going to the rascal flatts concert next month. any ideas?

it’ll be a $100-$300 gift
she already has tons of baseball memorabilia, a whole closet full!

and i’ve got a budget people! come on! we already go out all of the time. i just want to give her something small, and not too expensive.

    How about a day at the spa… you know, mani & pedi, facials, message things of that nature… That’s always a good way to relax…

    If she love’s baseball so much find her some autographed memorabilla from her favorite player or better yet from her favorite team and maybe something a little smaller that says you love her each and every day a little more. Write your own poem from the heart she might giggle or laugh at you but she will always remember that as well. Just make sure you get her something.

    Since you’ve spent a lot of money on her, I was going to say make something meaningful to the two of you, but you put a price on it. I personally feel that gifts that are cheap and homemade are much better. Like a cd with songs from your first date, first kiss, song you want to dance to at your wedding, etc. Or else a coupon book for a date, massage, kiss, etc.

    If you really want to spend money, you can do what a friend of mine did. He gave his girlfriend a beautiful ring for their anniversary. Two weeks later he proposed. It will throw her off the trail so she doesn’t think you’ll be proposing anytime soon.

    Well a day at the spa, and maybe make her a romance dinner, with romance music,candles, roses, then sit by the fire place, cuddle in a blanget and wtach a movie.
