I think everyone gives clues about what they would like to have but wouldn’t ever request. You have to be vigilant to see them. Watch what ads she studies in magazines. Or what she admires when you shop together. Study the style of her clothing and select something similar. Look at the type of jewelry she wears and chose something with the same look.
This is the best way to be sure she will like what you give her. If you want to take a chance, then buy something you like and hope she likes it too.
Hmmm, how much are you thinking of spending? It’s no use me suggesting a slinky if you want to spend more, but equally pointless me suggesting a speedboat if you are’nt a millionare.
…and is she the type of person that would like one big thing or several little thing…because I’d always go for lots of presents personally…
One thing I did for a guy a few years ago was something to excite all his senses…
something to taste (special chocolates)
something to smell (obviously aftershave)
something to look at (a framed picture/piece of art/ a book)
something to feel (I actually bought I nice soft silky nightie for me)
something to listen to (favourite music)
etc.
Buy her a nice piece of handmade jewelry.
WHY do you ask this?! Of all the people on the planet there is no one who can answer this question better than you
Buy something you think she will like, it doesn’t have to be cheap or too expensive. She wouldn’t want to figure out the price anyway. Buy something that appeals, preferably to the both of you. She’ll appreciate it. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, send her flowers.
You’re talking about sending a present, so I presume you won’t be able to be with her.
Actually, sending it isn’t a good idea anyway. Bring them. You’re the real gift, not the flowers.
Jewelry usually goes over well. A necklace maybe?
how about something you made yourself? something out of clay with your names and the date of your anniversary.
Does she have to do any daily walking outdoors to school or a job? How about gifting her specific walking shoes and rainwear/cold weather wear along with a tag you have sewn for her with a message of affection from you.
Does she commute on public transit? Does she yet have an iPod Touch or nice earbuds and carrying case for an iPod?
Is she a reader and would she be intrigued by a electronic Kindle reader and a gift account with Amazon.com to buy some books for it?
If she is conservative, is she also frugal when it comes to herself? Would she accept an appt. set up by you for her to have a manicure/pedicure and/or haircut?
Does she work in an office cubicle or space where she is often cold? How about a mini space heater and a goodie bag with her favorite snacks to keep at work with her, maybe order a custom mousepad with a picture of place that’s been special to the both of you?
Never discount that some people, conservative or not will appreciate a green plant or bouquet of flowers delivered to them at work.
There is something that my wonderful husband has done twice so far that mean alot to me and are relatively inexspensive but do require some creativity. I have two of them- one for our first valentine’s day together and the other for our 1yr anniversary of being together and we also got married. He used the word Soul-Mate and made a sentence with each letter.
S- Sensing the feelings floating inside
O- Open to your eyes with nothing to hide
U- Uninterrupted love flows from my eyes
L- Leaping, charging the air as it flies
M- Maturely relating on every level
A- Against this cold world we stake our claim,
T- Tangible love facing each challenge,
E- Expectations surpassed in every way.
He bought beautiful frames for them and used colored ink for the first letter of each line. I have them both in our bedroom. It is a good way to let her know how you feel about her. Meaningful gifts don’t have to cost alot. He is deployed to Afghanistan right now. not only does he write emails, call me but also writes real letters- i have a special box that they all go into- so you could also make her a keepsake box where she can put things that are special between you. my last suggestion is what we call my letter book- he did this while he was at home a few times a week- it is a regular composition book that he wrote love letters in during the day or if he woke up earlier than I did. Telling me how much he loves me, what he loves about me, special things we did together and more. i can sit and read through it at night when i am missing him. Good luck!
