Gift Ideas for your Girlfriend

[ 0 ] November 29, 2010

Whether it’s your first or fifteenth Christmas spent with your girlfriend, you’ll want to make her the happiest girl in town.

But whatever gift you decide to give her, make sure you personalize it to show that you put some thought into her gift. At the end of the day, the best gifts are not the most expensive, but the most thoughtful.

Take a peak below for gift ideas.

The Usual Suspects

Candy, cards, seasonal flowers and stuffed animals are all good choices, especially if the relationship is brand new, and you don’t know a lot about her yet. These are also good add-ons if you want to get her a little extra something with another gift.

From left to right: Christmas Bestseller Bouquet, $59.99, 1-800-Flowers; Animal Alley – Pink Poodle, $9.99, Toys R Us; Laura Secord Gift Packages, Laura Secord.

Coupons to use before you shop: 1-800-Flowers, Toys R Us.

Event Tickets

If you reaaaally want to impress her this Christmas, then take her somewhere! Gifts aren’t only about material objects; they’re about creating memories that you can both share.

  1. If you live in Ontario and are in driving distance, take her for a wine tasting tour at any one of the wineries found in the Niagara region. Try Hillebrand, Jackson Triggs or Peller Estates.
  2. If she loves musicals, buy her tickets to a popular show. Check out Mirvish.com for ideas if you’re around Toronto, or use our RazorGator Canada coupons to get $10 or 10% off your order. Before you order tickets, try to casually ask her what she’d like to see. This may be tricky, so try to slip it into casual conversation.
  3. If she’s a sports fan, get her tickets to see her favourite team play. Maybe get her a team jersey along with it to amp up the team spirit.

Perfume

When choosing the perfect perfume, choose a scent that you’re attracted to and would want to smell on her. If she already has a favourite scent, get her the same bottle or a gift set of lotion and shower gels. You can also ask a sales representative for fragrances similar to the one she wears, or search her fragrance on Amazon and look for “Customers who bought this item also bought” suggestions.

From left to right: Dream Angels – Heavenly, $59, Victoria’s Secret; Vera Wang Princess, $75, Sephora; Marc Jacob’s Daisy, $75, Sephora.

Coupons to use before you shop: Victoria’s Secret, Sephora.

Jewellery

You know we couldn’t have done this list without mentioning a girl’s best friend…well, you don’t have to get her diamonds (but, it would be extra nice). ;)

Any kind of jewellery will be sure to put a smile on your girlfriend’s face. Here are our picks for jewellery in a few all price ranges:

From left to right: Shimmer Drop Euro Earrings, $22.90, The Limited; Pave Three-Circle Necklace, $95, Saks Fifth Avenue; Diamond &18K Yellow Gold Circle Earrings, $1400, Saks Fifth Avenue.

Coupons to use before you shop: The Limited, Saks Fifth Avenue.

Ultimately, coming up with a good gift idea comes down to listening. Pay attention when she mentions wanting something in passing or if she shows particular interest in an item while you’re out window shopping. Leave a reminder note in your phone if it helps you remember. She’ll be thrilled at your thoughtfulness!

Guys, what will you be getting your girlfriends this Christmas?
