    Girlfriend - Bday and Christmas

    Ok heavily stuck on what to get my GF for Bday and Christmas im only 16 so not rolling in money, so need to spend like £30 on each present so 60 total for christmas and bday.
    I've been hinted jewelry so im thinking necklace or braclet.
    so i was thinking get that stuff for her Bday and something else for christmas.
    Feel free to recommend anything, even if goes over budget a little. Her hobbies are drama and thats about it to be honest.
    Thanks

    Might she like as a completly random idea a wii game? The new super mario is meant to be good. Alternatively perhaps viva pinata on the xbox 360 or the new party animals one? Mayby a few cd's and some dvd's? I imagine tickets to see one of her favorite bands/ artists would go down quite well!

    Don't get in the habbit of buying jewlery..only get's more expensive year by year ..It's certainly the easy way out though.

    I normally get very obscure presents which she loves and no one else understands.. You should be in the unique postion to be able to do something like that.

    Could take her for a nice meal somewhere, get her some nice flowers, or a single flower (for some reason women seem to really like that)

    Just have a think outside the box*

    Get a collection of small things, as mentioned above something no matter how daft that will really mean something to her/bring back memories of times you've spent together?

    Or something like pay to have a professional photo session? I cant remember prices off the top of my head, but there really not that bad, just do background research on the photographer first.

    Main thing, think outside the box

    P.S also thought, maybe for her birthday take her out for the day, do something during the day then 'wine and dine' her so to speak in the evening?

    start with a hand-made card (more money != more love) and a bunch of flowers and go from there

    Re: Girlfriend - Bday and Christmas

    A joint present is out of the question? £60 should get you something form tiffanys. Some girls like swarovski crystal, which is quite affordable. If she wants jewellery, its best to know what she has in mind first: silver, crystal, diamonds (crystal).

    Perhaps something warm for winter? I got my gf some cashmere bedsocks last year, which she really likes.
