    Okay so I have everything I need in terms of things that I can physically buy for her but I suck at coming up with cutsy, romantic, artsy, hand-made things and I didn't want to just give her presents that I bought from the store for her. Any of you guys got any ideas on what I can do for her that'll actually at least seem like it came from the heart? Gotta outdo what she did for my birthday - rep for non troll advice

    Rose petals leading to the coffee table where you have a package beautifully wrapped. Inside...

    framed dick pic

    ... maybe also a few wallet sized photos of balls only (chicks love balls)

    Custom made cupcakes from a specialty shop, a great bottle of wine, and cook her dinner from scratch. Even if the dinner stinks she'll appreciate the effort.

    Don't try too hard. You can't outdo a gf on gifts when she bought you the perfect ones, yet you forget what her favorite color is, or worse, what color her eyes are. If you don't know and are asking here, there is nothing wrong with just keeping it simple, yet with surprising quality that maybe she didn't expect or always wanted.

    Buy her Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Body Cream (aka Body Butter), and there is Chanel #5 fragrance, too. But that's more for 30-40 something women, it seems.

    It's bigger than it looks in the photo, and it will last her a long time, maybe into her next bf era, but you will love it. It's fascinating what it does to them, and you just want to smell them forever. And the saleswomen at the Galleria love it when a guy buys this. wink wink

    If you want to save $30 or so, go to Sephora and ask the girls to pick out some Body Butter and add a gift certificate to it.

    What did she do for your birthday? That way we get an idea of what you have to outdo.

    Without knowing her it's impossible to give you a perfect answer... Just think of something she's mentioned or looked at that you know she wouldn't buy herself... As long as it's not house or chore related... Has to be personal

    Oh damn. She's a keeper bro. Uhhhhhhhh something I did for my ex a while ago. Re-do one of your most memorable dates with her. Probably one that sticks out for her. Normally the first date. Same food. Same places. Same everything. Top it off at home and get her a small gift and roses. It's from the heart and shows that you still remember the start of your relationship and the fire behind it. It worked with my ex when I did it. Best of luck to you bro.

    No problem. But if you don't feel like that's what's best, something will definitely hit you by the big day. It always happens. No need to panic bro. It'll work out.
