What to buy a girlfriend that you have been seeing for 5 months !

[catsaremad]

Mmmmmm Interesting conversation in the office today, Chris our newbie has been seeing his girlfriend for 5 months and inevitably has to think of a good christmas gift ! So he has thought of an Ipod (Chris also brought his last girlfriend an Ipod for christmas)

Now I think that its a bit impersonal and if the GF already does not have one then probably does not need one !

I suggested a piece of Jewellery ie a bracelet..................... apparantly it is to soon for that sort of gift !

So does anyone have any ideas for Chris for a christmas present please, and if anyone can tell me why its to soon for jewellery........................!!!

I got a laptop, nail trainer and peter kay ticket this year but mine and tom's first xmas which was after we'd been together 8 months..
I think he got me a phone...? ooh an a uv lamp. and some other bits?

Its totally depends on the type of relationshipe you have.
I was with my partner 5 months prior to christmas when we first got together and he brought me a ring (not a wedding though I add), but we got close very quickly and had alrady moved in together.
I think an ipod is a bit flash personally.
I would opt for a bracelet as you suggested or how about a pamper voucher!!!
But again, I do think it depends on the relationship.

It depends on what she likes!!
I'm really not a jewellery person and although i wear it, i am very particular.
I've never liked any jewellery my hubby has bought me. I even had to take my engagement ring back as i didn't like it. He doesn't buy it for me now.
I think as long as he buys her something that she likes he will be fine. What music does she like? What shop does she buy her clothes from? What are her hobbies?
Without knowing things about her, it's impossible to say!

No no no it is never too soon for a bracelet,
the only jewelry time they need to consider if it is too soon is when buying a ring,
if my other half bought me a ring i would run for the hills and we have been together over 5 years lol (marriage is a big no lol)

i do think the ipod is a bit too flash unless she has hinted that she wants one,
he needs to listen to her or get a mate to do some detective work and find out what she really wants,

i had been with my OH 2 months on our first xmas, he bought me a gold necklace, i bought him a jumper,
yes i felt bad lol :hug:

My ipod was the best present my husband has ever got me......yes of course he has bought me jewellery and flowers and more expensive gifts...but the one thing I wouldn't be without is my ipod !!
Even better present if he puts some music on it for her of a romantic nature lol ans some pictures of them together!!
Of course it is a rubbish present if she already has one!

 

[catsaremad]

Lol I currently have chris on the run its quite amusing !!!

Good points so far, the GF likes R&B and pop, she shops in Topshop and 'other girly' shops and her hobbies are ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................................well she like films '

I have pointed out Loubylous pertinent question re the IPOD, and he will facebook her friends !!!

By the way the GF jointly Co owns and manages 3 hairdressers with her dad and she is 22 and not that is should matter but Chris is Ginger lol xx

Nice one Izzi, have relayed the information and instead of going into a manly fit, he thinks that this is a nice idea.

see it depends if they are soppy or not!! lol. for my first xmas with my ex he bought me a charm for my charm bracelet which meant a lot to me, and some bits and pieces. We had been together since end of October but were pretty close between then and xmas and he was spending xmas in uSA with his friends. last year i got a locket which was also something i really wanted...

some girls would run a mile at an ipod with romantic songs but some would love it (i would personally be like...eeeeeek) but maybe just a few songs she likes would be nice. I personally think something a bit more personal like a bracelet or necklace but that doesnt scream MARRY ME like a diamond ring lol. good luck....

Tell Chris not to focus to much on what to get her but to focus more on what she should get for him :lol::lol:

I got together with my boyfriend of 5 years just 10 days before my 26th birthday. He got me a hot water bottle (it was winter) and a bottle of jack daniels as it's my favourite tipple.

My mum's reaction was "Hmmm, well he wants to get you drunk and get you into bed!".
