Gift ideas for the girlfriend

[XJGUY]

Well, I have no idea what to get this girl. Its our first christmas together and I'd like to make it special. Any suggestions from you "experts"?

And before someone says it, tying a bow around my neck and saying Merry Christmas isnt what i was shooting for :D

[DrLewall]

earings for abt or less than $100 is a good start..or even a nice necklace..women LOVE that bling stuff

[BamaYJ]

Welp, this will be my 3rd Christmas with the woman, so the "your'e so great!" factor has kinda worn off :p

Here's just a few ideas that i've done before:
-ipod listening dock
-Dvd's
-Cd's
-unlocked cell phone
-Sweathshirts/ hoody
-Panties!
-pictures of yall, and sweet stuff like that.

[JeepBSU]

I agree earrings or a nice necklace would work, since clothes and all that is kinda hard to shop for..
Or a nice new winch!

[BamaYJ]

Haha, how bout some new boggers!!!

[BamaYJ]

If she's into outdoors-y or natural things, maybe a wooden ring (http://www.artistreewoodart.com/Rings/wdri.html). My wife loves hers.

[Speed911]

Buy her a Qtec gift card!

[Bada-Bing.]

Because this is a family board i post my suggestion but it will require batteries.

[XJGUY]

Keep em comin guys, Ive seen a few good suggestions but I dont think she would like Boggers on her Sentra lol. Id like to stay in the $100 range if possible so if i do go the necklace/earrings route they wont be that nice. Shes a big football fan and Id like to get her some Bama stuff but shes already got everything they make :rolleyes:

[Speed911]

maybe a nice purse? chicks dig purses.

[JeepBSU]

Alabama..honestly :rolleyes:

lol, what about a massage or day pass to a spa?
Or tickets to a Bama' bowl game (not sure where they are playing?)

I like the day spa idea. I actually considered it earlier but kinda forgot about it. And we've already got tickets to the game next weekend so thats out...for christmas at least

[BamaYJ]

Hey NOW! Sitting at #1 isn't too shabby. And even though I go to Bama, when they play Florida this weekend in Atlanta, Florida is going to sweep, imo.

Born right next to UF, so by nature i'm a bigger Florida fan. But Bama has had a good year.

I would say get her tickets to the game, but they're like $500.

EDIT: I just saw that you already got tickets!!! How?!

Well, I bet you can find some Alabama earrings off Ebay or something.

Give her a pearl necklace as say, "you are welcome"

Can always go for a big tool box and a small air compressor for the garage. At least that is what I am getting my gf. It took me by surprise when she picked up the home depot ad last thursday and showed me what she wanted. "I need tools and some place to put them. All my tools are spread out all over I have no idea what I have." She wanted a small "nailer" air compressor to keep out in her garage. She also told me when i build my 30x40 garage that she would like a second story added so she would have a place to work on her scrapbooking stuff when she moves in. I think I lucked out with this one. She said no to clothing and such since I am a guy and have no idea what is in style. And do not go the purse route. I have found that women are very, very particular about their purses. She was in disbelief when i told her my wallet was about 5 years old and is finally getting broken in. She was getting ready to buy me another one when I told her "don't bother. I wont use it until this one wears out".

Does she have a sister? Is her mom married?..you lucky man!! :thumbsup:

[4bob4]

If she's like my wife (LOVES her christmas movies) get her a few on dvd (the grinch, rudolph, charlie brown box set etc.). That's the first few small things my wife is getting. Just do your best to pay attention over the next month anything she sees in a store and says OoOoOo too would be a good idea. The best are things she really wants but likely wouldn't spend that much money on herself to get (again you know her better than I there may not be anything in the world too expensive to get for her self ;) )

[JeepBSU]

Haha, I actually feel very little animosity towards Alabama...Oklahoma on the other hand...
But that's beside the point, purses are usually out unless you wanna drop some coin (Coach's usually between $200-$500 roughly)
I'd say go Day-Spa/massage

Damn whats the world come to? I never thought id see that happen lol

[rockyjeep]

I love the taste my fiance has...she wears no jewelry (except one ring ;)) and doesnt like fancy clothes.

she goes for stuff like spa gift cards, running shoes, pajama pants, blankets, underwear (gift card from victoria secret will do you wonders) and stuff like Bobby was suggesting; christmas movies...or with her any movie she likes.

if all else fails, make a fruit loop necklace. :D

[JeepBSU]

and doesnt like fancy clothes.


I like my flip flops, and college football tee's but I'm a sucker for "fancy" jeans, specifically Diesels...

[BamaYJ]

Most expensive pair of jeans i own, probably $35- 40 bucks.

[ScotTJ]

I agree with JeepBSU do the dayspa thing.

[rockyjeep]

robyn will hardly ever wear shoes except for running. she wears flip flops everyday no matter what. i wear levis only as far as jeans go.

[DrLewall]

pants are ok if your balls are small enough to fit into them!

This is the first Christmas I have been singe in the last 4 years, and I'm pretty pumped about not having to put alot of thought into some "meaningful" gift.
My last gf always went above and beyond for my presents, so I had to really work to out do that.
Shows are always good (broadway, etc) just a thought.

[matts88yj]

My ex was the exact opposite!! I spoiled her and hardly got anything in return!!

Oh well I think I made up for it this year by getting myself a screaming deal on HD outputs, 4:1, cable shifters and a clocking ring for my Dana 300! :D

PM me where from and how much for all of that if you don't mind. My wife actually turned to me the other day and said I want you to write down everything you want to do to the jeep and we should do them one by one. :eek::eek::eek: I knew i married her for a reason.

[ZmarkZ]

i got my wife tickets to a bears game for her bday (going this weekend).. nfl may be over or close to it by xmas time; she totally dug the present.

the more i know somebody, the harder it is for me to find a present for them.
