Finding good gifts for a girlfriend can seem like a daunting task.  Many women are extremely finicky in what they like or don’t like, and if you’re dating a girl like this it can make their approaching birthday seem like impending doom.  What can you possibly get her that she’ll be sure to like?  What if she just totally hates it?  What is going on in that head of hers at any given moment, and what is the deal with the toilet seat thing??

These are all examples of questions that race through my mind whenever there is an approaching gift-giving obligation for my girlfriend.  You’re saying a lot when you get a gift for your girlfriend, no matter what you get them.  Every gift has a message behind it that she’ll read like a book, so you have to be careful!  A bottle of perfume or some tasty chocolates may be good gifts at one point in a relationship, but could be a slap in the face some other time.  Of all the events where gifts are expected in any given year, it is the ones for girlfriends that put me the most on edge.

But don’t lose hope!  Buying some nice gifts for girlfriends can be a lot easier than you’d think.  Step number one - don’t panic.  So you only have two days left, big deal right?  You can do a lot in two days.  Panicking will just make you buy something on impulse, which is the wrong path to take my friend.  Take a deep breath and think about the issue rationally.  First off, ask yourself what kind of message you want to convey.  This is really the key.

If you’re lucky in love and you want to show it, then don’t hold back.  Sure, she might tell you things like it doesn’t matter what you get her and she’ll love you no matter what, and blah blah blah.  But we all know that isn’t totally true, and that what you get is important.  Even if your girlfriend is considered ‘low maintenance’, she’ll be impressed by an expensive gift, so don’t be stingy.  However, good gifts for girlfriends aren’t all about money.  Even more important than the price tag is how personalized the gift is to her.

Now, this process of getting the best gift for your girlfriend isn’t quite as hard as you might think.  Here are two great gifts for girlfriends you can’t really go wrong with; clothes and jewelry.  And for both you just have to think back on the kinds of things you’ve seen her wearing.  Don’t tell me you haven’t been paying attention!  If you must, pull out some pictures to jog your memory, and put the toilet seat down while you’re at it.  Or, call one of her friends!  Your girlfriend’s best friend can be an invaluable resource; don’t be too shy to ask for help.
