Yes I know that it is a while untill the 9nth of june but still I would like to get her something really great!
Yes I know she isnt my girlfiend and I should just move on....but I still love her and she is moving to a town VERY close to the one I moved to when we broke up.
So here is the thing...
I want to get back with her and I am palning to spend some time with her this summer to you know...let us both fell how we really feel for eachother and the see what happens.
So for her graduation from highschool (wich is a very big deal for her) I want to get her something special.
But since I aint her boy friend (she is single by the way) I dont want my gift to say "I LOVE YOU! LETS START OVER!" And still nothing boring or stupid like a book.
So what do you guys and girls think?
Do you have any great gifts that you know have worked or just are great gifts...
She loves tourism and foreign languages!
Specially france, spain and italy...
She also loves to hang with her friands and also very much with her family.
Is she going to be attending college in the Fall? Or will she be working? I don't want to sound like an ad for FindGift, but they have a pretty neat website - Graduation Gift Ideas / Gifts for Graduates
For example, there is a college survival kit or the working woman's survival kit - little necessities all packaged up and ready to go. Gift certificates are always nice - if she has favorite store. Does she have a favorite television series - that has come out on DVD?
Yea ill check that out!
But those survivaltips seem quite dull to me acctually...not personal...
Yea her all time favourite is friends!
BUT she already bought that :P
Ill deffinatley think about the gift certificate thing!
Thanx!
Glad I could help, even if for only a little. You could make up your own survival type kit for her - I have done that for friends and co-workers and just tailored them to their own tastes. Just an idea.
She loves tourism and languages ... is there a language she wants to learn yet? Buying a DVD of one of her favorite countries with a matching language instruction? Look for something she would not treat herself too. An example, a gift certificate to Bath & Body Works (which she can use online, if no store near her). A Mrs. Field's gift package, of which there are many many kinds of options there, is a really nice treat. I get their catalog and am always impressed with how they put things together.
You mentioned a book would be boring - what if you found a first edition copy of her favorite book or by her favorite author?
wow you are really great with gifts!
Thank you so much!
Well she is a collector of the swedish ELLE magazine!
I acctualy thought about getting her a copy of the first one ever made..
But I have had a hard time finding one...
Any sugestions? :P
eBay? That place seems to have something for everyone. I bought pieces to complete my Mother's Spanish dinerware. While some pieces got a bit pricey, for me it was worth it. Now that I have the whole set for twelve - do I use it? No, cannot afford to have anything break. lol. But it looks nice in the china hutch and I wash every piece faithfully once a month.
Also there are other online auctions. I know Yahoo! has one and there are several others. If you could contact ELLE magazine and ask for their assistance. I know that is a long shot, but sometimes those pay off. What a treat that would be if you could find that!
Good luck to you! If I ever run across something like that, I will let you know.
a GIFT WILL NOT HELP, YOU DONT THINK TO MUCH ABOUT IT. i WOULD JUST GET HER A CARD AND SAY CONGRATULATIONS. IF YOUREALLY WANT TO GIVE HER SOMETHING TELL HER TO COME OBVER AND COOK HER A NICE MEAL FORDINNER A SURPRISE!!!! bEATS ANY GIFT YOUCAN BUY. bELIEVE ME IF YOU WANT TO WIN HER BACK COOK HER THE ROMantic meal tell her shes done a gret job at uni and give her the card. When shes finished the meal have some desert and then call it a night. dont become clingy and try and keep her around tell her yourve got something to do but if she wants to you guyscan catch up when shes got time and make her leave.. IF YOU PUSH HER OUT THE DOOR SHE WILL WANT TO COME BACKL FOR MORE. THI IS YOUR CHANCE . COOK THE ROMANTIC MEAL AND SEND HER HOME.
Thanx everyone for you advice!
Getting interessted in the advice mckenzie134 gave me.
Seems reasonable and correct considering everything ive learnt on these forums.
Just wondering...
Say I just give her a card and a dinner and it gows as planed.
What then?
Wait for her call or call her?
I mean if i "push" her out the door yes she will get time to think over the experience and think she had a great time. BUT wont she also start wondering about the quick ending of the evening? Like why I didnt wnat to spend more time with her? Wont that be negative?
