People, I can't think of a gift. I have to shell out for a super nice gift, and I've never gotten gifts in this price range. The gift should be in the $1500 range. Frankly the value won't matter to anyone, just giving a ballpark figure because I got a gift from her which cost around that much but more importantly was so thoughtful that I'm struggling to match it with a gift that shows my gratitude. Gift is for a female, mid to late 20's. Some hints/hobbies: music, dancing (mainly contemporary), learning spanish, has a lot of friends abroad (uses BB messenger to keep in touch), does not have any apple products except for ipod, loves food, laid-back, may get a new car soon, very casual dresser almost sporty, very into charity and volunteering and raising awareness on issues.. That's all I could think of. Before anyone mentions it, the gift will obviously include a personal/thoughtful component (whether it's the gift itself or an add-on), but I just wanted to kind of get a feel for what kind of things people usually look at. Thanks
Why not take her to a trip to the Caribbean islands? Or jump on that deal from JetBlue $699 unlimited travel to anywhere JetBlue travels for 1 month.
Make a donation in her name to the Human Fund. In all seriousness, what's your relationship to this girl?
and 1500 gifts??? my god!! i think everyone is really and i mean really curious to know what you two are up to. i mean, are you guys dating? or just trying to win each others hearts with expensive stuff?? please let us peep into your world.
hahaha. you beat me to it. I was so going to put Make a $1500 donation to the Human Fund in her name until I scrolled down and read your post. That was one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes.
she has a lot of friends abroad- you could get her a roundtrip ticket to go visit one purchase her a day at a spa rockets season tickets she doesnt have anything apple, so you could get her a macbook a super nice piece of jewelry or watch $1500 gift certificate or 15 $100 gift certificates 100 DVDs designer purse (maybe Chanel with your large budget)
i find it odd that you wouldnt state your relationship with her and yet what advice on a good and meaningful gift
Need to know your relationship but I agree with the jewelry or nice purse idea. What I would suggest is like a weekend getaway. Hotel, dinner, and tickets to a theater or concert. See who's playing nearby and if you're in Houston make the trip out of the city Dallas, SA, New Orleans, Denver, a quick flight or reasonable drive locale. Maybe I'm heading over your $1,500 limit but if you do some research you can find some deals. Point is it will show her how very thoughtful and how much time you put into this, rather than just buying something.
Give her 6000 gumballs. That should last her a while. But seriously, if she's really into charity work, make a donation to her favorite charity in her name. Way more rewarding than getting a new Macbook pro.
i know why you feel the need to get her such an expensive gift but what is your relationship with her?
LOL!! Didn't realize it was that important. Hmmm, reason I didn't mention is because it's very strange. You can call it formal/respectful dating but we only see each other once a month? I'm not sure how to describe it really, feels like dating in 1950's would be I guess. She got me a camera, and it was very meaningful because she knows I despise my job and was looking to try my hand at photography. Frankly, it would have meant just as much (well, almost) if she got me a camera worth $50. We're not in the US btw, and wouldn't be able to travel together. Her parents are very traditional/conservative. I already did the donation to charity in her name earlier. I like the "roundtrip to see her friends" idea. Her closest friend just moved to Boston and she was pretty sad about it.
