I'm...a...guy...
So I've never really had to buy my girlfriend anything because my mom always took care of all of that. But last year, my gf found out that I don't personally buy her presents and she got all upset. Now, she wants me to go out and buy her her present this year by myself. My mom refuses to help me now. I've really never done this before and you don't have to believe me but it's true. Anyways, this is what I have so far:
100$ Abercrombie card (her fav. store)
50$ Hollister or Forever 21 card (her second fav.--I'm not sure which yet though)
And these earrings her sister helped me pick out. They're pink sapphires with pearl on top they're pretty nice.
But I can see my gf's face when she sees these..."oh gift cards...thanks babe..." She might like the earrings more though...I don't know. I'm already spending 250$ on all of that--I'll put in maybe like 75 more. Does anyone have any ideas?

Dude, wow, that's a lot of money, but seriously...gift cards? When she told you she wanted you to pick out the gift, what she really meant was for you to put thought into it. Gift cards aren't too much better than letting your mom do it. The earings are a start, come on, you can do better!

I think she'd appreciate actual gifts (like the earrings) more than the gift cards. It's sweet that you are spending so much money on her, but it's always better when it is personal. Maybe try finding pink bracelets or a pink necklace or pink rings to match the earrings. Us Girls tend to like things when they seem heartfelt rather than when its just a gift card. Gift cards are from friends who don't know you well enough to give a real gift. She won't care how much everything costs, as long as she knows it's from you and you put thought into it. Hope I helped.

wow you dont have to spend that much money one her even if you love her.
i think you should get her the earrings and then maybe cook for her or take her out to eat, that would be cute if you cooked though. :)it would show her that you appreciate her.

I think anything YOU pick out will be fine with her. She just wants to know that you personally thought about her when you bought it.
Gift cards...you're right. Not personal enough.
Earrings, great idea. Maybe you could find her a necklace. Just pick something you personally like. Tell her (or put in a little note) that you saw it and thought of her wearing it. She will love it.
Good luck :)

Okay seriously hun. How old are you? Like I'm really not trying to be mean, like this is an advice site so I'm going to give you my perspective on all of this.
You're buying her gift cards? I mean, come on man, put a little creativity in it. Like seriously, if my boyfriend even thought about buying me ANYTHING from Abercrombie or Hollister I'd be like, fuck no - take it back. But, if it's her favorite store that's different. It's just going to be gay that you didn't buy her anything from those stores, it's just going to look really lazy & that you don't love her as much.
Just buy her earrings, and take everything else back. I'm sure she'll be happy enough with that.

gift cards? what are you her uncle? a girl doesn't want something that you didn't have to put thought into evwen if it is for something she likes. she wants something you went out and hunted down and knew it was meaningful and important to her. hell my girl once was about to cry she was so happy because i bought her, her favorite cheeto's (the flaming hot ones) when she was in an area where they didn't have them. it's not hard to get the right gift, what's hard is paying attention and knowing what that gift is.

Well getting a gift card isn't getting a gift personally, either is having her sister pick out a present. You should go out and pick out jewelry yourself, or go pick out clothes at her favorite stores yourself.

OMGG if I was your girlfriend I would love getting all of that. spending more then 300 dollars on a gift shows a lot, plus getting her favorite stores is sweet too. I would definately get her the earrings and ONE giftcard then get roses to send to her and a sweet card. Good Luck!

OMG i would love all that stuff an i know she will to that is more than anof(sp) for one person. she will love the gift cards and the earings she will wear the earings and be able to get what she wants with the gift cards. omg she is lucky. don't worry about getting her anything els. but if you must maby a braclet or neckles to match the earings or a shirt those are always fun or a cute jacket. hope i helped

If I were you, I would get her a friendship ring. You can get them engraved with her name or with like I LOVE YOU or something like that. I would get her something that you think she would look at and say, "I love you more than anything." Get her something that catches your eye. Maybe go walking through a mall or something and just look through the windows and if you see something you like then just wander around inside. You're bound to find something sooner or later!
Hope I Helped!!

wow. what you need to realize that she doesnt nessisarily need all of that. its sweet thou. much like my bf. what she most likely wants is just something simple that at the same time says a lot. maybe give her that stuff and then give her a poem you wrote or a song. or something that shows you spent some mad time thinking about her. plus... you didnt use your mom. and shell no this when she sees that. my bf did this for me for my bday adn i loved it so much. try it and see how it works. if you need more help just ask me... hotrod

Maybe you could get her::
--A necklace.
--Make-up set.
--Some body washes, lotions, perfumes, etc..
--picture frame with a picture of you two in it. (that's always cute)
--A gift card for dinner. (for the two of you)
--Teddy Bear.
--box of chocolate
Hope I helped :)

i think you should actually pick something out for her...gift cards are nice and all but they're kind of impersonal. its just money with minimal thought put into it. ask her sister for her shirt size and maybe get her a shirt from hollister or something like that. if she doesn't like it, she can always exchange it. <3
