A gift to a girlfriend is always a difficult task for a young man. Especially if the budget for it is limited. And even if not, it’s not always easy to please with a present. Some girls voice what they would like to receive as a gift, and some want the man to guess what she wants most.
Since it is impossible to guess, you need to know for sure, try to figure out what is possible (and necessary) and what cannot be given to your beloved girlfriend. After all, if you choose the right gift, it depends very, very much! Consider what to give the girl on different occasions.
New Year
New Year's Eve is a time of surprises and secrets, so it’s better if your gift is what your beloved one dreamed of. And for this you will have to listen carefully and look closely at what she is interested in in stores, perhaps, to start a provocative conversation in the spirit of "which perfume is the coolest" or "bag that you like most." It is best to start such a conversation early, in September or October, to put down the vigilance of the donee himself and "not to split."
In no case do not give in to the entreaties of the sellers and do not buy the "novelty" or "fragrance popular with girls".
Find out exactly what your particular girlfriend is dreaming about. Perhaps she loves candles with scents for the house. Having specified what specific smells she prefers, go for a gift. Of course, not bad, if you know even a little what you plan to buy. Otherwise, the girl - a fan of citrus smells at risk to receive a gift of sandalwood and amber.
If your girlfriend is an intellectual, give her the edition she dreamed about. If she loves fantasy, then a few novels that she hasn’t read yet will be gratefully accepted. You can donate an e-book with a library of romantic fiction, detective stories or historical novels uploaded there. If she loves poems (and understands them), give a volume with the works of her favorite author or a ticket to his creative evening (if the poet is our contemporary).
For lovers of gadgets fit smart watches, a new phone, a nominal case on a smartphone or tablet, "fancy" headphones.
Valentine's Day
On February 14, the most appropriate will be a romantic gift. It was at this time that the stores were simply flooded with all sorts of hearts - postcards, balloons, boxes of sweets of the appropriate form. Choose from what.
If a girl watches the figure or simply does not eat sweets, do not tease her by handing a bouquet of sweets or a heart-shaped cake.
It is better to dwell on a teddy bear of roses or a berry bouquet - this is more unusual.. Banal teddy bears with hearts in their hands can be perceived as a fact that you were just too lazy to attend to a gift. No need to buy the first available soft toy.
On this day, as ever, roses are appropriate - white, red, pink. They can be large Dutch or small bush, but any girl on this day is waiting for flowers, like a declaration of love.
You can declare love in different ways. For example, to hand a book about her to her beloved, which is quite popular now. The story of your beloved, accompanied by her photographs, will contain your confession for her. You can make such a book with your own hands, sticking and putting in there everything that you consider necessary.
March 8
Beautiful tulips - not original, but no less a pleasant gift from this day.As for traditional mimosa, you should be careful with them, finding out if your sweetheart is allergic to pollen. Bright gerberas, exquisite orchids or lush hydrangeas will be an excellent alternative to roses.
On no account should you give any utensils such as rolling pins, bakeware, pans or pots on this day. But a French press or a coffee maker for a lover of this drink or a pair of bone china tea is a much more sophisticated gift.
Since the theater season is in full swing in March, tickets to the premiere or sensational performance will go to the inveterate theater play. ROf course, you need to take into account the tastes of the donee: if she is crazy about musicals, it’s not a fact that she will appreciate the theatrical production in the spirit of arthouse.
Another idea of a gift can be a day of freedom from worries: when you wake up, your sweetheart receives coffee from you in bed. You will pour coffee in a new beautiful cup, put its favorite cake on a saucer, and next to it will be a rosette, a gerbera or a tulip. On this day, your beloved is relieved of all domestic troubles. Dinner - in a cafe, ordered home or cooked by you personally. Over a glass of champagne, give her a nice gift - earrings, perfume or a certificate to her favorite salon.
Even if you have been living together for a long time and divided household chores in half, don’t give anything utilitarian. This is a day of romance, a day of love, not a new dish. It is better to hand a set of underwear (but before that, specify the size, so as not to be mistaken). Since underwear is also different in style, it is good if you choose a set in accordance with her, and not your style preferences. That is, a lover of shorts, thongs will not work, and girls with curvaceous will be uncomfortable in underwear on thin straps.
Birthday
Birthday is a personal, personal holiday. Therefore, gifts on this day should be associated with the identity of the donee.
Taking the most successful photo of your beloved, order her portrait from a professional artist. Such a memorable gift will be appreciated. To the note: since the production of a portrait takes at least a month (this includes the primer of the canvas, the varnishing of the finished picture, and its drying), then it should be ordered in advance.
If your favorite is sociable, she has many friends, arrange her a gorgeous surprise party, where you invite everyone. Yes, the situation when everyone hides, and then jumps out with a shout of “Surprise!”, Not the most original, but this does not stop people to rejoice in it.
Of course, planning something for the beloved, it is necessary to clarify what plans she has herself. Perhaps every year she spends her birthday with her parents and loved ones, then a party is not the best option.
Tickets for the concert of your favorite band or artist will be very pleased, especially if they are not often on tour. The athlete will appreciate both a subscription to the gym, and a certificate to the sporting goods store and something from the inventory. Of course, you should take into account the tastes of the donee and not hand them the skates.
Jewelry will be received favorably if your girl wears precious metals. If she prefers jewelery, hand something that she likes to her favorite brand.
Flowers as an independent birthday present are trite, just like the beaten “one hundred and one rose”, which is full of social networks. Think of something more interesting, because this is the birthday of your girlfriend!

Of course, there is a list of what you should not hand over to your girlfriend as a present. It:

- unreasonably expensive gift, do not cause your girlfriend feelings of guilt for the cost of a present;
