Valentines day present for my girlfriend

[first time farmer]

I need help figuring out what to get my girlfriend for Vday. Its driving my crazy not knowing what to get her. I just need some ideas lol

 

[saddina]

Uhhh... she's your GF, we don't even know the girl. Handy tip, buy her what she likes, not something some commercial tells you is "for valentine's day".

LOL yeah i know. I was kind of thinking of building her a model of the house she wants or getting her a bracelet or neckless lol I think my problem is that i have to many ideas.

Saddi's right. Look around, see what she does in her spare time. Does she have a hobby? Does she pamper herself? Does she read? sew? Shoot? Sports?

Is there anything she's asked for or mentioned doing, with you, that you didn't want to do?

Good luck!

The thing with jewerly is, is she going to see it an think "it's not a ring" (if this mistifies you, watch the clip from leap year where she gets earrings instead of a ring). Again, I don't know the girl, but sometimes the little velvet box backfires.

She loves to cook and make things...for christmas she knit me a hat

I agree with everything Saddi has contributed. And don't "overgift" - if you get her something really expensive, she will either come to expect that for every occasion, or feel like you're trying too hard to stay on her good side.

So take her to a cooking store "just to look around" and see what she gets excited about. Do her pans need replacing? Maybe a cookbook on thai food that you two can try recipies out together?

Thats a good idea! the other day she was saying her pans were getting old...
