Birthday gift for a new girlfriend?

I'm 19 and a college freshman. She's turning 17 in a week and a junior in HS.



We went to HS together and were not that close but we were friends and knew each other.



Got a little closer over the past couple of weeks and now we're going out.

Great girl. Fuuny, pretty all that good stuff.

We been going out a month as of next week and I have no idea what to get her for a gift for her bday.



I don't want to spend too much and make it seem like things are moving too fast. But I don't want to get a cheap gift and well...look cheap.



It's at the beginning stages of the relationship where I don't know if this is going to be long term or just like a little spring romance. I don't want want to spend big and breakup like a month later because that is a waste of money.



I was beginning to think dinner, a movie and maybe some flowers. But wouldn't she expect an actual gift that she can wear or use or something like that? or is that enough?

Birthday gift for a new girlfriend?

Reply:I am also a first-year college student and this is what you get her. Take her to dinner of course, that's just nice and kind of expected.

What I did for my girlfriend was I created a pair of converse at converse.com and wrote her name down the back of them. You can do a style that will fit her perfectly and every time she puts on her shoes she'll think of you. fool-proof right?



*It's also not terribly expensive, i think it was about 65 bucks.
Reply:Maybe send some flowers to her workplace or her house the day of her birthday with a card to say happy birthday, and maybe something romantic.



Then, do dinner OR a movie (I think dinner), and have a gift for her. Perhaps a CD and a cute little bracelet or something.



JBud...CUTE! LOL I had to laugh though when you said "foolproof, right?"...well, unless you guys break up and then she has a pair of shoes that always remind her of you. Anyway...cute idea.

Reply:Well, you will never go wrong with art pieces, for instance handmade portraits on Oil, Acryl or Canvas. They really look classical! You simply select a nice photo - one of her most memorable ones or one taken in some beautiful landscape - and send it to the professional artists at http://www.paintyourlife.com to be turned into a unique portrait.She'll love it and you'll have made progress. It is a reliable address for all sorts of gift ideas for every occasion! The same company also makes wonderful photo prints on canvas in various designs. Visit http://www.photo-print-on-canvas.com
Reply:*Get a bunch on balloons and blow them up. Then put little bitty notes inside each of them that say ... I love you because, or you are special to me because (just make it unique) Then make her pop all the balloons and read the notes out loud!



*Make a scavanger hunt. Put notes on things that have clues to the next place. Like I put "I am always sitting here when we watch moves" so he knew to go to the couch. Then the next clue would be on the couch. and so on and so on.



*You could also get a picture of the both of you, put it in a frame and decorate the frame your self.



*Get a jar and fill it up with little pieces of paper that have a memory on them. Like one of them could be "the time we went bike riding, and I fell off and scaped my knee" (something like that).



*Buy some window chalk and write on her car windows HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONK IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!
