    Voucher for Game? I'm non-girly, I've always hated the hair/makeup/fashion thing.... but I'd love that. Perfect if you're not sure what games she has/hasn't....

    When I asked my partner to marry me we had a 'discussion' over the engagement ring. Not a huge fan of jewellery either, and since I asked him, thought he should wear it. He insisted I had to have a ring- so I tried asking for a throttle body for my car. I'd love it, and it's useful, too.

    The look on his face was priceless....

    Voucher for Game, PC World, Amazon.... Alices' Records is a great online music store- mainly does death, thrash, heavy metal etc...

    From my Auntie for my 16th I got a massive photo album and loads of like sticker type things to go and decorate it all but I'm quite arty so it was such a good present.

    I think the watch sounded like a reallyy good idea.

    hmm maybe a set of Skullcandy headphones if she listens to her mp3 player a lot or maybe a new gaming headset? Vouchers for Game or directly buy her a game if she's a PC Gamer she's likely to be on Steam http://store.steampowered.com/. A new pair of trainers? Or some t-shirts? Does she play an instrument? Maybe something related to the instrument. Does she like any TV shows, a boxset? I'd just come up with some suggestions and ask her if she fancied any of them.

    I'd also say concert tickets, i was (and still am!) a very non girly girl and for my 16th my mum paid for me and 2 friends to see a band. Was actually really lucky as one of my favourite bands of the time, were playing quite locally and on my birthday itself too. I'm 30 now but its still properly my favourite birthday ever.
