Men often have a difficult time picking out gifts, and in a new relationship, the pressure of finding just the right holiday gift for your girlfriend without going overboard can seem overwhelming. Here is a look at a few ideas that express that you care without causing her to run for the hills.
Concert or sporting event tickets
If she has a favorite sports team, tickets to an upcoming game make a great gift. If she's not a sports gal, if you've already discovered some of her favorite bands and one of them will be coming to your area soon, she'll not only appreciate the thought that you care enough to be interested in what she likes, but it's a great way to spend an evening, or day, together. If you've only been dating a few weeks, just make sure either event is not too far into the future. Giving her the tickets at Christmas for an event next summer is assuming just a little too much.
Candlelight dinner
If you can cook, consider making a special dinner for her, along with decorative candles to throw in a little extra romance. Present her with a gift of candles first; jasmine and rose exude passion and romance and will make the entire night especially memorable.
If you can't cook, buying dinner to take home from her favorite restaurant instead is a great option.
Relaxation
What girl doesn't love gifts meant to help her relax and de-stress at the end of the day? Consider putting together a basket of aromatherapy products like scented bubble baths, a gift certificate for a massage or Spa treatment and a CD with relaxing or meditative music.
Outdoor recreation
Does she enjoy the outdoors? Consider her interests - a day horseback riding, parasailing, whitewater rafting, or anything adventurous that you can do together will be make for an unforgettable and much appreciated gift.
Indoor games
If she likes to play video games, consider a game that you can play together. A fantastic co-op game can be the key to eventual domestic bliss. It's a perfect way to spend time with each other, and avid gamers will really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Some ideas for video games many girls like include Fable II and III, Plants vs. Zombies, Guitar Hero and Pixel Junk.
iPod or mp3 player filled with her favorite music
If she doesn't already have one, an iPod or mp3 player that you've added at least some of her favorite songs too is not only thoughtful, but something she'll truly appreciate. Who doesn't love music? This is a perfect way to work your way into her heart if you haven't already, and if you have, she'll love you even more.
