    How new? For our first christmas my boyfriend got me gorgeous sapphire earrings... we'd been together almost 6 months already though.

    The best gifts are ones that show you really get her personality... for example I'm a huge book nerd and once my boyfriend brought home a Kindle as a "just because" gift... it's still my FAVORITE thing he's ever given me! It was the old gen so it was on sale for super cheap but it's not the price that counts, it's the fact that he saw it and thought of me. Personal gifts are the best.

    I just went on a date with this guy for the first time. On our first date he gave me Brighton earrings. He noticed that I love Brighton jewelry I thought that was sweet. I guess what I am saying pay attention to what she likes.

    He gave you jewelry on the first date? WTH?

    jewelry ....bracelet, necklace or earrings You should know if she prefers gold (yellow or white) or silver before you buy though.

    I agree. I'm very particular about jewelry, I hate yellow gold. But I also agree with others, the gift depends on how new the girlfriend. and the type of person she is.

    maybe I'm weird. My now fiance got me an ipod shuffle last year for christmas, and a hand mixer - we had only been together for a few months at that point, but those were things I asked for - and the ipod shuffle has been the best, I use it almost every day (at the gym!) :) this year, I think i'm getting some more kitchen stuff - a ninja, a cutting board, not sure what else..... and I also asked for a hoddie with thumb holes since I now run! :)

    Does she enjoy reading? If yes, then I suggest a kindle.
    Does she enjoy music? If yes, a CD of her favorite band
    Does she enjoy food? If yes, a nice dinner

    :)

    Jewelry is always nice. Kay Jewelers has the “Open Heart” collection.
    A weekend getaway… or a new purse, you can make it into a “gift bag" with little things she likes.. Perfume (body Spray), candles, minty lip-gloss, an a picture of you two framed :).. good Luck!

    What is she into? Make it something she would personally like. For example, I know I would personally prefer a personalised swiss army knife from a new boyfriend rather than some flowers because the army knife would be longer lasting and have greater sentimental value.

    (Btw, I'm not saying get her a swiss army knife, I just mean get her something she would like and get it personalised so it'll remind her of you.)

    Gender stereotypes! My favorite!

    I agree with the plenty (although not as many as I expected in four pages) of replies that suggest you find something in your girl's alley. If shoes and perfume really are her thing, than go with something along those lines. Flowers are over-used because they are generic, and for a good reason. However, if you take the time to actually listen to someone, it's much easier to find a personable gift, without resolving to follow along stereotypes of jewelry, candy, and gift cards.

    You! I like you.

    Would she prefer an experience, or something she can unwrap?

    If she's someone who would appreciate doing over having, find a class or trip that's within her range of interest, and go do that with her. Does she like to cook? Buy tickets to a professional cooking class together. Into the arts? Buy her a museum membership or tickets to an upcoming show. If she's a fan of the outdoors, go horseback riding together. If she likes to be pampered, treat her to a spa day.

    If she's somebody who would prefer to unwrap a gift, listen when she talks about things she wants or needs. Pay attention to the things she buys for herself, and the things she likes to do, and give her a gift that supports her hobbies and interests.

    For bonus points, do a little of both. If you want to give her an experience, include a small physical gift just so she has something to unwrap. If she'd prefer a large physical gift, pair it with a homemade dinner or a long massage.
