    Hey guys,

    So I'm in another gift rut... My girlfriend is turning 18 (yeah, not that old), tomorrow...

    I don't know what to get her, but some guidelines are:
    -She loves the Rockets.
    -Is going to college out of state, maybe country in less than a year.
    -Loves reading.

    I just want to make the gift something special since it'll be her last birthday in Houston.

    Thanks guys...

    Themed gifts are always a good one...For example, if she likes to read, get her a couple of books, plus a blanket to sunggle in, a book marker and reading light...any thing can be along those same lines...

    That or a D*ck in a Box...

    Step 1: Get her in touch with Girls Gone Wild
    Step 2: ???
    Step 3: PROFIT


    Nah, in reality, get her a nice comfy Rockets sweatshirt/hoodie, and a copy of her favorite book, first edition (as long as it's not some Danielle Steele piece of crap or something).

    When I was in high school, I gave my girlfriend at the time a custom made neon sign of her name for her 18th birthday.

    That didn't go over too well.

    And I'm dead serious.

    if she loves to read you could always give her that damn Kindle everyone talks about to do all her reading electronically.

    It would also help if you put how much your looking to spend.

    No, no. We just probably won't end up in the same city...

    I bought my ex a vacuum cleaner for our first Christmas.

    I'm also dead serious. I was 18.

    C'mon. This is your gf. Be original. You're better than that. You know her, we don't.
