I would invite her to a professional photographers studio and have a family photo taken, put it into a rreally nice frame and give her that for xmas, it would be something that she would treasure for the rest of her life.

I'm sure she will love anything you get for her. What are her likes?\nDoes she like perfume, chocolates, stuffed animals? Maybe some nice smelling candles or a DVD she's been wanting or burn a CD of her favorite songs. There's still a little over a month yet for shopping. Try listening very closely to her, she might drop some hints for what she likes or ask her friends what she likes, if you think they can keep from telling her before Christmas!\n\nGood luck to you, I'm sure you will come up with something she will really love!!!

I'm a 21 year old male so let me try to help you out.\n\nFirst off the 20's is a broad range, if I'm 29 I'm going to want something different than when I was 21.  Also, depends on who the gift is for.  If my girlfriend gets me a shower curtain I'm going to say, wtf?  If my mom did, well hey, she understands that I'm 21 and I need stuff for my place.\n\nThat brings me to this...  I'm 21 and I just started living on my own in the last 2 years or so.  I'm still building my little "empire" or apartment if you will with lots of goodies and so forth.  Maybe some DVDs or even that shower curtain if you their his bathroom could use a facelift.  \n\nI'll be commissioning in the Army in May so my dad is buying me my first pair of ACUs while my mom said she is leaning more toward something that will benefit me in life...  Ummm maybe that George Foreman Grill I've been wanting?  lol\n\nHopefully that shed some light for you.  Answer your question?  Leave some credit!  :-)

I'm not sure, I was never really good at that but I can tell you one thing.  you don't need to be spending $200 on a girl you've been going out with for 5 months, especially at your age.  I know you want to get her something nice but $70-80 tops.

1. Chicks dig sweets. Make loads of cookies, buy really good quality chocolate, and pack them up in pretty foil or boxes, and decorate the heck out of the whole package. Just the presentation will make anyone feel super special.\n\n2. Gift certificates for coffee. Don't know how old your recipients are, but if they're into Starbucks, a $5 or $10 gift card is always well received. Works at other places too, where the items you'd buy are inexpensive, Dunkin Donuts, McDonald's, Panera Bread, etc.\n\n3. Colorful, fun socks or leggings. Everybody loves that stuff, and it can be personal and goofy. And very inexpensive.\n\n4. Pretty hair products: head wraps, little barettes, mini brushes, trial sized products, etc.\n\n5. Go to Bath and Body Works and pick up a bunch of those teeny-sized items: soaps, lotions, body washes, lip glosses, etc. in all different scents, and put two or three of them each into little packages of celophane, teeny gift bags or wrap. And, in similar fashion to idea #1, decorate the heck out of them!\n\nGee, I'm getting a bunch of good ideas for myself here! Haha!

Just give her the $200! I would have rather get $200 then get something that i may not be able to use. Or take her on a shopping Spree!

A nice thing would be to ask the advice of her parents. it shows respect and what the family values. Find out what they think is approprite. Ask them to keep it a secret but they will appreciate that you asked because the girl is young and under their care. Get a few ideas from them then pick one. If you want to give an additional gift or something of your own idea...ask them what they think. "Would you mind if i gave her a bracelet or stuffed animal etc"? then you are free to give but have checked in with them.

$25:  Bath & Body Works Kit\n\n$35:  CD/Burnable CD Stack/Cute cashmere winter set\n\n$50:  Claires jewlery, candles, cute socks, Cashmere winter set, gift certificate to their favorite stores, CD, cute new Mudd purse\n\n$75:  Concert tickets to an approved band by their parents, all of the above.\n\nWhen I was a teenager it wasn't about getting a BIG HUGE expensive gift.  It was cooler to get a wrapped box full of cool things.  If you buy 5 necklesses 30 dollars, socks and nail polish she would have a large selection.  And if they didn't like one thing you got it wouldnt matter....\n\nNow when it comes to guys:\n\n$25:  CD most definatley\n\n$35:  DVD set to their favorite TV show (ask parents what seasons they have)\n\n$50:  CD's, candy, gift certificates, DVD's for guys are a big one.  \n\n$75:  Still concert tickets\n\nGluck!

it depends what she's expected to do with the money... fun stuff only?  or is she expcted to buy school lunches?  clothes?  movies?\n\nwill you still buy the child books or treats? or is he on his own?  \n\nAt age 8, I started my kid at $2/week, and she got a $.50 raise at age 9 and again at age 10.  I expect that she'll be up to $5 by age 12.  Anyway she is not expected to contribute her allowance toward any regular expenses, and can spend her allowance pretty much how she chooses, within my guidelines.  \n\nGood luck!

First of all just hang out with her and listen to her then you will know the things she likes and what she wants. Don't buy anything if you feel like you are wasting your money! Buying things for her is nice but showing your true feelings is way better than spending money. Make her things. Write cool stuff to her.I think that if you are buying a girl gifts then you should have already been with her long enough to know if she likes your gift or not. If you don't know her that well don't spend your money!

First, send her a really nice Christmas card.  You can give her a scarf and matching gloves or mittens.  You could give her a box of chocolates.  You can give her a music CD, a figurine, or a trinket box.  You can have someone take a picture of you both and you could have the picture framed or you can even give her a mug with the picture on it.  Most photo shops sell them.  You can even have them put a personal message on the mug.

Depends how much you want to spend. Lingerie & a dozen of flowers would be nice or if you want her to remember you,buy her jewelry(earrings,necklace,etc)

Something special. Either something you make yourself, or buying something that would be significant to her.

Get tickets for something to do together or for her and your father.  A play, a concert, a bike tour, a gym membership, an art exhibit, manicures and pedicures, an imax movie, etc.  She might have a lot of things or be very picky about her things, but she loves you and she would most likely be very touched that you got something for the both of you to do together.  If that's not your thing, think about a hobby she truly enjoys and perhaps get something to go with it.  For example, my mom knits, so one year I bought her some really beautiful wool online from a farm in Vermont and a pattern for a pretty sweater that I thought she would like.

Heres something that works for every age range:\nGo to a 99 cent store and pick up small christmas themed tins or plastic gift bags\nBake some easy candy: fudge, peppermint bark, english toffee etc\nPut the candy into the tins and pass them out.  Its an easy gift that won't cost you more than 30 bucks total.  A bonus is you'll get to eat some of the candy and have fun making it.  Thats what I'm doing this year for my friends (all recent college grads)  \nHappy Holidays!

Find out what she likes that would involve personal time.  Stuff is just stuff, but memories are much more valuable.  Does she like concerts, plays, or other special events?  If so, get tickets, and make a day of it.  You can "story-board" this upcoming day in a creative way (like on a poster board that depicts the various events or has paraphernalia pasted to it), and then wrap it up.  You have to wrap it . . . it's much more fun to unwrap something at Christmas, even if it's a promise for February.  At any rate, be personal, invest yourself, and she'll love it.

I planned on keeping it simple....but I overspent.\n\nYou could take any part of the gifts I got my girls as one gift.\n\nI got everyone a rhinestone heart key chain with their first initial on it $5.99 a piece including engraving.\n\nI got everyone rhinestone hairpins at clair's boutique for 8.50 a piece.\n\nThen I got them something more personal. My matron of honor got a VERY nice collection of L'occtane lotion and soap.$75\nAnother got a magnolia spa candle from L'occtane.$25\nAnother got a box of godiva chocolate $20\nAnother got a bunch of collectors stuff from napoleon Dynomyte $20\nAnother got a new lotion collection and lip gloss from bath and body works $20\n\nLike I said, any one of those things will work. Just make sure that about the same is spent on all the girls to be equal (The maid of honor is a little different).\n\nYou could also do matching necklaces, make up bags, tee shirts, mugs, flasks, bracelets, or even manicures.....depends on how well you know your girls. Good luck and happy gift hunting.
