Should I get my girlfriend a Christmas present if she told me not to?

I asked my girlfriend what she wanted for Christmas and she said "nothing" and not to worry about it, that she is just happy to spend time with me. Should I believe her or is she just saying that? What should I get her? I think it should be personal but not too cheesy or serious.

Dude, you've got to buy her a present.

Girls always say they don't want a gift, but they'll get mad at you if you don't but one (or more).

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


Don't believe her....   Do you expect her to answer: "yes, I would love to get .....".  No ways !.  So ignore what she said and buy whatever you feel / can efford.
Best regards,

We're not retreating... we're advancing in another direction.

-General Douglas MacArthur 

It's always really nice to surprise someone and take them to see a concert or play that you know they'd like.  It's something romantic that you can do together, and I'm sure she'd appreciate it.  Of course, you should get her something.  It doesn't have to be gold or something... just do something that's from your heart, that connects to something she loves or that you both have in common.

Did you really expect her to tell you exactly what she wants? Women love mysteries and love to be surprised, so I would suggest you get her a gift that is appropriate to your relationship and if she is really special to you, use your imagination, she will love it.

GET HER SOMETHING!! That is just something girls say so that the guys dont feel pressured into "having" to do it. if you get her something, put thought into it. it doesnt have to be expensive, little things from the heart mean the most! I am positive that she will be at least a little disappointed if you do not get her anything.

Thanks so much! I have been on a constant search for good presents and started to put together a little collection of small but hopefully meaningful gifts. I thought of taking her out to dinner or to a concert as well. How much is too much?

Did you ever meet a person who was disappointed when he received a gift?


It's Christmas and it's all about giving and making people happy. Dinner is fine but it's something you will probably do or did anyway try something  like  taking  her  a Sushi workshop  where you can learn how to make it together  eat and also have great fun.Too much is up for you to decide it depends on how long have you been together and what are your economical capabilities.

I don't know about your girlfriend, but for most women, presents are a sign of care and attention. The point is not necessarily to spend a lot of money but to get her something that'll show you notice things about here, if you can remember something that she mentioned she wants previously, that's the best.

Also, a good idea is to bring something that's connected to an experience that the two of you shared - like concert tickets to a band that's played the music you were listening to on your first date, or photo of the two of you in a frame, or a book you were talking about before or something like that.

Don't go for stuff that would be a good present for everybody (that's why roses or chocolate are usually not a great idea).

heres the deal man. Its not a setup or anything, but this is the best time to shine. Basicly the ball is entirely in your court. You want to give her something that will show her how much she means to you, so heres an awsome idea. Take her to dinner or a play, its always nice- but you want to give her something as well, something physical (and not a dick in a box)... go to the international star registry, i think its

www.internationalstarregistry.com. for $50 they will name a star after her, or whatever cutsie name you have for her, and send you a really nice certificate for it. its like $100 and they will frame it with double matting. Trust me man its one of the coolest things you can do for someone you care about. So, good luck-
