Hey all, its me again. Me and my gf are still together, just having some trouble communicating lately, which is pretty essential for long-distance to work. But we sorted it out. Anyway, she’s turning 18 on Friday and I don’t know what to get her for her birthday. So far I am going to get her perfume and 18 roses. What’s 1 more thing that can top it off? Thanks for any replies.
Try setting up a picnic, nothing like quality time together; one thing my ex did for me was give me a big picture frame that had several of our photos together, it was cool to see pics from different times in our relationship; try getting something that reflects what she’s into, while I was really big on old time blues my girl at the time got me a cd with different artists. More specifically, my friends b-day’s coming up and I’m getting some of those girl shoes that don’t have heels, they just have a strap and they come in pink and light blue, they’re cute as hell and I also might get her some black and white photographs of old hotels in Paris, they’re at the Bombay Company and she told me she wanted 'em a while back. Let us know how it goes and if ya, you know, get anything in return.
All right, guy. Nobody cares anymore about your saga. Good luck.
Big man don’t sweat it. Man she’s just 18 most women will get pissed at a lot less things than that. Anyway there are too many women out there to be sweating that communication snafu. If you apoligized thats cool, but don’t get all emotional about it, shit there are just too many females out there. Besides you are very young your eyes will open with age.
Flowers and perfume lacks creativity and thought. Not trying to flame you, but it doesn’t seem that you are putting any of yourself into it. Will this be a face to face gift exchange or from a distance? That would perhaps make a difference in my choice.
I have to agree that flowers and perfume lack a lot of creativity. Here’s an idea, since you are apart most of the time, what about a night at a bed and breakfast? It’ll cost you about the same (assuming you were talking about good perfume) and you’ll get quality time together without distractions. Show up at her door with one rose and a card and tell her to pack an over night bag. She’ll brag to her friends for weeks, trust me. do a search on line, there are b-and-b’s all over teh place.
Get a copy of “Sonnets from the Prtuguese: Illuminated by the Brownings’ Love Letters”, and write a nice inscription in the cover…It’s disgustingly appropriate for long distance relationships.
why don’t you try mixing some androsol in her perfume and not telling her?
I realize that you guys don’t think the perfume is a creative idea, but trust me she’ll love it. Everytime we go shopping she’s always smelling the perfumes and tells me which ones are good. So I’m thinking she won’t even expect that one coming. I was leaning towards the victoria secret Angel perfume. And to whoever said “no one cares about your saga,” no one forced you to reply or read the post so just fuck off, eh? I’m just trying to get some help like everyone else, weightlifting or non-weightlifting related.
And I guess for anyone who’s interested, that one quote that goes like “If you love something let it go, if it comes back its yours to keep, if it doesn’t then it was never meant to be.” She came back…
Anal sex. It’s a present for both of you, it’s free, and you can finish with a birthday spunking instead of a birthday spanking.
I like Michelle’s idea. Very romantic and something she will always remember.
Steve, If its still working best of luck to you. My girl is at UNi, and I work and she goes back in a week, and we’ve been like this for nearly 2 years now. Situation sucks rod, but thats life - and the time we do see each other rocks. On the gift side, if you have time, get something made, jewellery if you can. If you bung a jewelleler who makes their own pieces, out of silver can probably do something in this time frame for extra. If you cant do this , something totally individual to her, inspired by something she likes or whatever should really get to her. And if you can, i dont know if youre face to face or whatever, cook a meal - and really go to town on it. Effort does count. Let me know how it goes bro’, always good to hear this long distance thing work!
