If she likes things like spas and manicures, get her a gift certificate for like an afternoon at a spa.

This is a good idea, in fact, there is a nice spa downstairs at her apartment. In general, I am a big fan of non-tangible, experiential gifts versus something material. There is a always a sense of pricelessness about it. So I'll look into this.

Scrapbooking? I thought you needed to be a 40+ woman to do that?

Concert tickets?

Does she like books?

Do you have access to a jacuzzi?

As for the spa, make sure you get her enough that she gets more than just a manicure/pedicure. Let her spend like half a day there.

How old are you?

Girls don't see the gist in things, they see the details. Scrapbooks are a nice touch as they are basically reminders of the past, and girls love that kind of stuff. If you've got lots of pictures, have a favorite artist/band you both enjoy, throw in some pictures, lyrics, maybe a CD. Just shows you put in a few hours of thought/gluing rather than sitting on Amazon or going to the mall. Also shows you remember the good times you've had.

Does your idea end up with me holding a bowl full of cookie dough while wearing a thong and her dressed as Abe Lincoln?

Lol nah, get some tickets to something you'd both enjoy. Something later in the year when its warm out and you can sit out on a lawn somewhere.

Get her a cool book if she likes reading. Nothing new, some sort of classic, depending on the type of girl she is.

Rose petals + bubbles + jacuzzi = insta-win!

I'm 28, she's 23. We've only been together this fall, so it seems a bit early for the sentimental stuff. We do have some good photos from this past weekend, maybe get one blown up and framed nice?

Half day at the spa is going to be $$$$$, I'm just a poor college student

#1 is a solid choice. Tie the scarf around your erect member and then when she unwraps it PIIHB. Your penis, not the scarf.....unless you are a magician.

Then get dumped for a 'real man' and get a boyfriend.
