    Now normally, I don't buy gifts for anyone, but I just started seeing a new girl and her birthday is on Saturday. I know I'll never hear the end of it if I don't buy her something, but I have no idea what to get. She's 19, and she hasn't really given me any hints on what she likes. Flowers are lame IMO, and clothes are out of the question. Do you gents (and lady) have any good ideas? Thanks.

    In between Tacomas at the moment.
    Depends on your budget. I've never gone wrong with giving the gift of some spa treatments. That can vary too. Less expensive to full-on head to toes. Again, depends on your budget.

    Go to JCPenny and get her a necklace or bracelet, they always have shit 50-80% off. I bought my wife a ring when we were dating for like $60 and she loved it.

    A little more info would help.................What is she into?.....Does she have a hobby?......Where is her favorite place to shop?.....Whats her favorite food?......What qualities do you like in her?.....You might find something for her that compliments her qualities (the one's you see in her)....If you find something that compliments her you can give it to her and mention I got this gift for you because it reminds me of something I really admire about you. (Does this make sense?)................

    Spa and Massages are alway a hit. What's your budget? Costco sells Spa Finder gift certificates $79 for a $100 gift certificate and she can choose from serveral spas.

    Shoulda mentioned that.......I don't want to spend over 80 bucks, so around there. As far as what she's into, I am still trying to figure it out. She's really quiet, sO i need to pry everything out of her. I've only been seeing her for a few weeks. I like the spa ideas, and about getting her something that reminds me of her.......that's a win-win, has sentimental value too.

    Take her out for a nice dinner (possibly surprise her with a small birthday cake or something for dessert) and a movie/concert. If you've only been dating her for a few weeks, jewelry may be a bit much.
