b day gift help

[lennoxchi]

I don't know if this is the right forum for this but i didn't see another.

basiclly i have this handicap or retardation if you will. i have a bitch of a time buying gifts for women. i just go completely brain dead. i've been with this woman for over 6 months and it's serious. like only dating each other serious and we do love each other. now normally jewelery or something like that would work but she doesn't wear any, no rings, no necklaces no nothing. here favorite store is the thrift shop (don't ask it makes me laugh too) but she doesn't dress trashy or anything, it's just weird.

her likes:
going out to eat
movies
going to be building a garden this summer with her sister
she owns a home (so maybe something there)
she doesn't need anything for her job
she just bought a new benz
she likes antiques (but i know jack shit about them)

any help would be appreciated. sometimes having others look at the same thing helps to see something that might be right in front of you.

The Garden thing is jumping out at me...dig deeper into that one...
maybe some reading material about gardening, some books or some subscriptions and something to get her garden going.

from what you listed as her interests she sounds like the type who is more into experiencing life than material possessions...in this case how about planning a small vacation or trip?

 

[lennoxchi]

good ideas so far. anymore out there?

I think the small vacation thing is a good idea. She seems simple so maybe even a camping trip to the mountains or lake. Dont know what state you live in so that is kinda difficult. Somthing together and exciting. Hot air balloon ride?

You said she likes antiques, maybe go to an antique shop. Ask the clerk for help. I'm sure you've spent a lot of time at her home so try to find something that might fit in to her decor.

Flowers are always an option.

this was my thought...Antique shop ladies can help with a gift she would appreciate, since shes into that...Also gift cards are great and takes alot of pressure off, then she can go and pick what she likes.

Gardening tools for ladies...theres cute stuff out there now, lol.

You could just take her out to a very nice restaurant. Good food and a little wine goes a long way
