Call me crazy, but why not go out on a limb and get her something not so cliche'.  If you are truly in love with her you should know her pretty well.  Surely at some point shes mentioned something that could give you a hint at something that she may not even realize she would really love to get or do.  Surprise is the key here.  Maybe even a certificate for the two of you to learn something together. Just make sure it leans towards her likes more than yours.  Buying the roses that you like for her; for her birthday would just make you look selfish and show whose feelings really matter more to you.  Good Luck!

if you are creative at all perhaps you could make her a scrapbook of things that you have done together (include pictures, movie stubs, concert tickets, plays that you have seen together, poems that you wrote for her, things that mean a lot to the both of you). Most girls would really appreciate the work and thought of a gift like that. If she is not that kind of girl, maybe an i pod or teddy bear with a gift certificate for a day at the spa, or to get her nails done.

I think that you should get her a massage gift certificate.  Or plan a day to go with her and you both get one.  Or, you could just make her a nice candlelight dinner, and then give her the massage yourself (after you set the mood just right).

According to Hallmark...Wedding Anniversary gifts are specified for each year up to the 15th.  After that, it basically gives something specific for every 5 years, 20th, 25th, etc. The 20th traditional gift is China and the Modern is Platinum.  The 25th traditional is Silver and the Modern is also silver.  I suggest a personalized engraved item or some type of jewelry (A new watch?). It really depends on the likes of the person. An engraved beer mug, a lighter, pen set or desk set.  Also, don't forget a great dinner somewhere. Maybe there's a show coming to town or concert and you could also get the tickets in advance  (Or give an IOU when they go on sale) and put them in a card. Whatever you do, enjoy yourselves.  It's not just about material things. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on keeping it together this long.

How about a weekend trip? I know several couples who made a very special anniversary out taking a short (even one day) vacation to do something fun together, something that you know your boyfriend is interested in. I personally enjoy having the memories and the experience together better than having to buy them something material sometimes.

i'm in a long  distance relationship too and for my boyfriend's birthday i got him a dvd of a movie we had seen together.  i made a cd of love songs that make me think of our relationship.  i also gave him a picture frame with a picture of one of the times we were together.  those type of gifts any guy from any type of background might be touched by.  my boyfriend loved it.  hope that might help.

Sometimes brother, its not what you say, its how you say it.\n\nYou might not have to say the words, I have been entirely faithful to you (bytch!), but you can show her the things you have been doing the whole time, to let her mind be at ease.\n\nGot friends that you've been with that whole time? Introduce them to her, they'll let her know  and it could help alot.\n\ndid you do something (semi)spectacualr for your 6th month anniversary? You know even though you guys were on and off that she remembers brother. . . . THEY ALWAYS REMEMBER\n\nHell man, its been 6 months, let her talk to yer parents, they wont rat on ya (lol).\n\nNo but serious, if all else fails, just hold her hand, lean in slowly and kiss her forehead, look her in her eyes, and tell her bro.

Does your boyfriend squirm while watching "chick flicks" with you? If so, he might prefer the video game, despite how soulless it may seem to buy one.\n\nThe scrapbook sounds like a nice idea and shows you took time to put it together. If he's not much into that sort of thing, he might not show you "enough" appreciation for the time you took. And if you're doing it to garner appreciation rather than as a gift, you might want to rethink that motivation.\n\nBut some guys like "sentimental" gifts - however, it's not necessarily something they can "use" with their buddies. But since you're not married, he may see it as a tool for pushing the relationship to the next stage. \n\nMaybe you could just make the scrapbook for the both of you to have and not as a gift to *him.*\n\nJust a few random, impulsive thoughts.....

You don't want to get her anything too extravagant in case you break up?  Is that really loving her?  Good grief, you guys are strange.\n\nLingerie, in the way of a pretty nightie would be good, rather than underwear, or some nice perfume.  I go for jewellery every time though.  Not all jewellery is expensive.  You can find some pretty pendants and earrings, that kind of stuff.  Use your imagination... something pretty, with a bit of thought put into the gift and not what you're spending.

I wouldn't go with some materialistic like diamonds or a gift certificate...you'll both be getting enough wedding gifts to fit this kind of category. Rather I agree with the framing idea of a love letter. Or create something special out of a souvenir you have from a special day you shared or do something special with a photo. Better yet, (and I am getting married in July and would love this ) you could write down all the reasons you want to marry her and roll it up, place it inside an antique wine bottle and have it secretly placed in the room where she'll get dressed on your wedding day...LOVE IT!

The best gift is one that fits the girl personally... I dont think the normal...roses and chocolate go very far... not with me anyway.. You want to make the girl feel special... important ... and needed.. like you thought about it a lot... A kiss is nice... but not for a "gift" for Valentine's Day... instead of money... think feelings.... It doesnt matter how much it costs..as long as its heartfelt...Just think about what the girl likes...

Depends on the age and level of the relationship.\n\nIn general doing something for him is really the best present.   That "something" is really, again, dependent on the level of the relationship.\n\nExamples of generally good "somethings"\n\n1. Dinner\n2. Massage\n3. A drive in movie\n4. A love note (handwritten, no halmark)\n5. A "special" evening\n\n\nThere are tons of extra customizations to the list above.  Basically I'd suggest something that you do together, rather than so much of something you give him.  Gifts are nice, but memories are much better.

Well, you have another month to go so I wouldn't shop too early!  But I think the gift should depend on how committed you are or if you see this as a long term relationship.  What does she like to do?  Does she read?  If so find out what type of books.  If you know what kind of perfume she wears that would be nice.  Maybe a certificate for a spa day.

oh my goodness, I love this website. It has helped me out so many times! Check it out!\n\nhttp://www.lovingyou.com/\n\nOr, you could do something with the traditional sixth anniversary gifts... iron or candy. \n\nThere was once that I wanted to do something really special for my husband and I came up with all these ideas. First of all I hid a card in the car telling him that when he got home, it was going to be very special. \nI had the house decorated really cute with balloons and crate paper, my two year old loved helping me with them!\n\nI wrote him a love letter explaining why he was so important to me and wrote it on very pretty stationary paper.\nI bought some fake rose petals and put them in a hot bath, then shared the bath with him along with a nice bottle of wine.\nI made him his favorite dinner along with his favorite dessert and went on a picnic with him... (your kids would probably love this, especially if you go to a park, depending on their ages)\n\nThere are so many things you can do to show him how much you care for and love him without having to spend a lot of money!\n\nGood luck!

You should definitely make her something!  That means more than anything you can buy.  One idea (ok, this is really girly of me, but whatev) would be to make her a picture frame and put a really nice picture of the two of you in it.  I'm doing this for my bf for Christmas.  Basically, I buy a cheap frame, cut out magazine pictures that are relevant to our relationship (i.e. he likes politics, so i've got a little donkey), and then decoupage (special glue) them onto the frame in a sort of collage style.  It always turns out really nice, and they can tell you've put a lot of effort into it.
