Xmas present ideas for girlfriend

I've been with my girlfriend 6 months now and need to buy her something for Christmas.

So I asked her and the reply I got was "something meaningful".
"Well, that's me stuffed then!" :rotfl:

But aside from her having a love of nice clothes and shoes, I really do have no idea what to get her. Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks

    How old are you? Where did you meet, any hotels that you have stayed in? Hobbies? Etc
  • What's your budget? and how serious is your relationship?

    I absolutely love these and think they fit the bill in terms of being 'meaningful'

    Does she really love shoes? As in: owns at least 6 pairs, not including utilitarian stuff like wellies, riding boots, trainers, etc?

    How about a charm bracelet and a shoe charm to go on it?
  • For me, meaningful is as simple as top that oh choses that he thinks would suit me - he has taken time to buy and think about it.

    She must have other interests than clothes and shoes? What about baking? Films/TV Series? Travel? You could do a hamper with things centering around one of her interests - shows thought and effort. Or maybe a weekend away - e.g. a couple of nights in London and tickets for a show... doesn't need to be a flash hotel, I'd be happy with a Travelodge, its just a chance for you to spend time alone together.
