The only question is: what gift would it be? Here are some suggestions on what to get your girlfriend for her birthday:

 

Tips on How to Choose a Gift

 

What She Likes

Obviously, you will have to give her something she likes and to do that; you will have to pay close attention to her actions. Check out the things she surrounds herself.

Check out the things she surrounds herself with: clothes, books, jewelry, flowers, bags, shoes, or basically anything else. If she likes to collect certain things, then the job becomes easier for you.

 

Ask Her Friends

You can also try asking her friends what she likes. Chances are she tells her friends things that she will not tell you outright so an insight from these people should prove useful.

In fact, you can even ask her friends to help you prepare for her gift, just in case you are planning something elaborate and adventurous.

 

Cost of the Gift

Of course, do not forget to take into account the cost of the gift. You will have to hit a nice balance between thoughtful and inexpensive. You might want to consider a specific budget and move on from there.

Some Gift Suggestions

 

Customized Stuff Toy

Is she a pet lover? Does she have a cat or dog she pampers like a baby? If so, you might try giving her a customized stuff toy that looks exactly like her fur baby.

There are currently shops today that offer this particular option. All you have to do is send pictures of the pet and they will be able to replicate them for you.

Note that this is not limited to just pet stuff toys. You can also have makers create a stuff toy replica of you and your girlfriend.

 

A Day of Pampering

You can also offer your girl a full day of pampering. This can vary, depending on what you can do for her.

For example, you can start the day with breakfast in bed, a movie marathon, her favorite food items, and even a foot massage during dinner! If you want to kick it up a notch, you can pay for a spa day where she gets a massage, a nice facial, a hair wash, manicure, pedicure, and everything else girls love to have on their special day.

 

Scrapbook

If you and your girlfriend have gone through a lot, maybe traveled in different places and managed to compile tons of pictures during that time, then perhaps you should make use of that!

Create a scrapbook detailing your adventures together so that she would have a one-stop book about your relationship. This works better if you have plans of proposing to her, the scrapbook, therefore, ending with a ring. Of course, that’s completely up to you.

Flowering Plants

Ditch the bouquet — they are great but they are not exactly long lasting. If your girlfriend is a plant lover, then it’s probably better to give her something that lasts and will bloom every year, therefore constantly remind her of you.

A bouquet of flowers will fade away in time, but a plant never will when properly cared for.

 

Jewelry

Jewelry is pretty old school, but you can kick it up a notch by giving her a customized type of jewelry.

Opt for something with engravings, writing the day, a message, and your name. This will serve as a long-term remembrance, making sure that she will always have a keepsake of the relationship. You can also try buying couple jewelry so that the two of you would be a perfect match.

Girls actually appreciate this because it shows that you have invested in the relationship.

 

A Book with a Signature

If your girlfriend is a book lover, you can also try giving her a copy of her favorite book signed by the author. Now, this would actually be tougher than it sounds, but you will be surprised at how far persistence can take you.

Note that this is not limited to just books. If she happens to love a certain artist or a painting or a singer, then your birthday gift can extend to those too!

 

Travel Date

This might seem a bit expensive, but you will find that the memories themselves make for an excellent gift. You don’t have to go far, maybe just out of state or even out of the city.

Gift your girlfriend with time and a view worth dying for. This works best if your girlfriend is the outdoor-type who happens to love camping, hiking, or just walking along the beach and loving the breeze.

 

A Quirky Gift She Can Use Every Day

Pay close attention to the stuff she happens to use often. Maybe it’s a power bank, her laptop, her tablet, a notebook, a pen, or whatever it is that she likes to use on a daily basis.

Now look for an improvement for that item or a replacement that’s cute and appeals to her personality.

For example, if she wears boring pajamas to sleep, you might want to buy her an outrageous cat-inspired pajama for bed. You can also try giving her a quirky pillow that’s inspired from anime or any type of cartoons.

It has to be functional and yet wonderfully funny that will constantly remind her of the giver.

Make Her Feel Special

It doesn’t matter what kind of gift you’re giving her; making your girlfriend feel extra special during her special day should accompany all your presents.

Be extra sweet with her, show her much you appreciate her and cap off the day with the best adventure in bed you can possible offer. This way, this will be a birthday she won’t ever forget!

 

Of course, those are just some suggestions on what to get your girlfriend for her birthday.

Remember: it doesn’t have to be expensive. The thought that comes with the gift is even more important, so make sure there’s sentiment together with whatever you decide to offer her.

With the right gift, you’ll be able to show her just how much you love her, and how well you pay attention to her likes and dislikes.
