i think you should get the kid something because than it'll show the girlfriend that you're really interested...plus kids are a way to a girls heart....a good dad is always a bonus!!

Perhaps you could offer to take her dog to the groomer, and while you have some time alone with him or her, have the pet's picture made in a Santa hat or other cute attire.  Find a nice frame that will go well with her home or office.  This will show that you actually put thought into the gift as well. I'm not sure where you live, but Wal-Mart has a photo package for under $10 that comes with some 8x10s and a 14xsomething as well as wallets, etc. Petsmart does grooming for under $30, and a nice picture frame will definitely be under $50.

This is a question as old as time. Yes it is okay to SPEND MONEY ON A GIRL. If she wants a new pair of shoes then go and get her a nice pair and offer it to her as a gift, but when it comes to love that is a diffrent story. The only problem with that is that, you are trying to make her believe you love her by getting her something, and in all honesty you might be coming off as "I bet I could buy her?" and I know your situation its more like "How can I show her I love her, maybe if I got her something she liked then she would know that money means nothing compared to her", so what you have to do is play this right.\n\n1. Don't buy something over the top (Keep It Simple Stupid -KISS)\n2. Make sure it is something she will love not something she would like to have (Roses say more than shoes)\n3. Try to add a nice touch to it (Get her 11 roses, and 1 fake rose and leave a note saying "I stop loving you when the last rose dies)\n4. Try to make it have meaning (If she loved her dog, but it passed away, get her another one, but NOT OF THE SAME BREED. You don't know what kind of shit she went through)\n5. And finally MAKE SURE SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY\n\nAnd tell her you love her, before and after the gift giving. GOOD LUCK :)

if you've known each other for 3 years then you must know something about her parents. you can even ask your gf. if you'll buy one gift for the both of them, maybe you can give them wine, some home decor or tool. if you know how to cook or make desserts, it would be nice too.

I would ask for my daughter who is nearly 3 yrs old to have fun, enjoy Xmas and smile. Shes the most important thing to me and her happiness is my happiness!! That's all I would want.

The most beautiful gift you can give your children is yourself.  I know presents are important to them.  For financial help I would seek a church, the Salvation Army.  I know some stores in my area put up Christmas trees with wishes on them for children.  A customer takes the wish and buys the gift.  Sometimes schools send home lists of needy families.  Check these things out before it's too late.

Toys should be first on your list. Everybody knows that Christmas time is really meant for kids. We grown-ups just need the holiday break but our kids are the ones expecting a gift from no other than Santa Clause. Parents with hectic schedule may find buying toys from your kiosk more convenient than going to big toy stores. It would also be wise if you can display small items that can be ideal for Kris-Kringle, we all know that office employees love to exchange gifts during the holidays also. I hope I am able to help.

Giving something to someone because everyone else is caught up in the game (X-mas in the USA) is really quite selfish if you stop and think about it.  Is it for them? or is it for YOU?  Doing it so you don't look cheap?  Then you can resent her for putting you in debt for the rest of the year?  I suggest you give her something that is meaningfull.  Think about it.  Your time on this blue marble is very limited and that makes your time your most valuable posession.  Think about it.

It would be very difficult to buy something she will like, so money is the best gift.  She can put it to good use now, or save it for use at college.  In fact, a better gift might be a CD maturing in 6 to 18 months, in case she is like many teens who might tend to spend too fast.

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.

Be a true giver.  Do not place restriction/s on your gift.  I suggest you buy her a $600.00 piece of gold, like a thick necklace and leave it in the box in which it came and no gift wrap with the receipt inside the stapled store bag.  That is a gift which will be well received and you will have the real satisfaction of having truly given and if she is not fully satisfied with it then she may exchange it for purchasing another or whatever it is that she wants more.  That will please her more than words can say and you will have the satisfaction of having given a real gift without limits placed upon it.  A meaningful hug and kiss/es will add a thing to it.  Have a nice day.

Go with the gift card to a nice restaurant.  That way you know they both will enjoy the gift.  Put it in a nice card and write a few nice words to them (the card and words are extra credit with your girl).  For wine, you must know if they drink, if it is even appropriate, and what they prefer.  An ex of mine's father was a recovering alcoholic and I didn't find out that after the fact, so I'm glad I didn't get them wine.  A restaurant is pretty easy and you can pick any amount $25, $50, $100 depending on your income and length you've been dating their daughter.

Call me impersonal, but I'd get him a gift card to Best Buy. The relationship is still young, so you may not know all of his likes and dislikes.  Why risk it? That way you can choose the amount that goes on the card (since I don't know your budget) and he can buy whatever he likes.

Not buying for all the grandkids is not in good taste. Regardless of what age they are, she should give EVERYONE (the grands, everyone under 21) something, even if its $5 in a card. If she does not have enough money to buy everyone something, she should buy something for the entire family to enjoy (a game, dvd's, gift basket, etc.). Though I think Christ is the reason for the season, children and grandchildren should be the focus of the gift giving and such. The adults have had their time to enjoy opening presents. How about letting the younger ones be the focus. Let her know where you stand, and the adults should call off the exchange and focus on the younger ones. If there is any money left over, get things for each other. Happy Holidays!

You know, what you need to do is really do some homework.  Get her something that will make her feel that you really thought about her long and hard before shopping.  Something that she will use, wear or display, in line with an interest.  Show her that you know what's important to her, and man, you're in!\n\nIf you want to get her something that will make her feel sexy also, as a small gift along with the main gift, she'll be really happy.  No-one likes sexy stuff as a main gift.  It's really for you, and we know it.  At the same time, gift giving is an opportunity to show what you like too.  Only drawback is her taste might be differenct, sizes...Clothes... are best bought together.\n\nBlessings,\nRenee

Honestly, I don't care what the gift is.  As long as it's a meaningful expression of how she feels about me (price and description are really immaterial), personally, I would love it no matter what it is and she wouldn't have to worry about "getting me the wrong thing" or "not getting something good enough".

I think give them to her when you first see her.  \nI have a five year old and three year old, and I haven't seen some of my friends for a long time.  They don't have kids yet.  I would want to know that they were interested in meeting my kids, or okay with me bringing them along.  Giving a gift is a great way to show that you support her as a mother and you're totally okay with her bringing the kids around.
