I know it's an old topic but I appear to be another useless bloke without a clue of presents for my Girlfriend. It's her 23rd on the 30th of this month and although its not a big one like 21 etc i'd still like to do something a bit different. The only problem is I've ran out of Ideas. I've bought jewelery and all the shapes and colors under the sun, to the extent she's told me not to buy anymore lol, and I've done the whole flower thing again in pretty much all it's forms and fancies I think. I've never tried clothes but I have a feeling if I bought her something she wouldn't like it heh, so if anyone has any ideas for me it would be most appreciated. The only stipulation is it has to be within £150 as I'm trying to save he, hope that doesn't make me look tight. Apart from that I'm open to anything whether it be trips out somewhere or gifts or whatever. Thanks in advance

Well a special day out sounds like a good idea send her to a Spa for the day and I am sure she'd be happy as a happy thing with bells on I knwo I would!

A Spa day is a great idea. I'd love that and can't imagine any girl saying she wouldn't like one. She'll be pampered all day, probably a facial, manicure, pedicure, massage, sauna and possibly other treatments.

thanks for the replys, I don't suippose you'd happen to know of any such places would you? As I'm up north and most of the things I find seem to be in London

Type Spa Day followed by your City into Google or look in Yellow Pages. Most places have them, they're not just in London. You could ask them to send you a voucher.

well I had second thoughts about the spa day, as although it's a great idea and much appreciated I would prefer to do something I can do with her if it's a trip/day out as we haven't had much chance to see each other recently and I took 2 days off work in case of a trip somewhere and it would sorta be a waste to sit at home and not be with her after that if it makes sense. And to be honest she's pretty shy and wouldn't go to something like that on her own

You could go to a spa with her, my OH came with me

Hiya

Wow £150 sounds like alot of money! She is a very lucky girl.

I am not sure where you are up north but Macdonald Hotels have some fab offers at the mo CLICK

I think a hotel break is a fab idea x

Or how about a lovely handbag like this or these

Or what about a Theatre break ? This is whats on at Manchester CLICK

or how about an ipod?

or what about a lovely day out - a picnic and some lovely champers.

I personally think my most memorable Birthdays have been when hubby and I had a weekend away / or a day out.

If you are stuck for some inspiration - let us know I am sure we can help.

Whereabouts are you up North? York is beautiful and well worth a visit if you're not too far away ... then there's the Lake District, Lancaster, Harrogate, Chester ...
