Personalized Gifts
-
Personalized gifts have a special charm for girls and are always appreciated. Items to be personalized through engraving include picture frames, glassware, plaques, desk accessories, jewelry and home decor. Monogrammed items are also perfect for a girlfriend which might include bath towels, a bath robe or bed linens. To add a more sentimental touch to the personalized gift, have a photo of the two of you put onto a coffee mug, blanket, mouse pad, calendar or canvas art.
Photo Gifts
-
There are a variety of photo gifts that are perfect for a girlfriend. These include sentimental photo gifts such as photo albums, scrapbooks or photo collages in frames. Choose a variety of candid photos from your relationship and put together an album with your favorites. Write captions under the photos such as "Our First Date" and other important events. You could also give her a photo keepsake box filled with items that would remind her of you such as a copy of the first movie you ever saw together and an event ticket from your first concert together. If you are computer-savvy, or have a friend who is, you can make a movie with videos and stills collected over your time together. With some clever editing, you can make an unforgettable video that can be posted to Facebook or YouTube, should she so desire.

Spa and Salon Gifts
-
She loves to be with you but nothing beats spending time at a salon or spa for facials, massages, manicures and pedicures. Getting your girlfriend a gift certificate to an upscale salon or spa is a perfect gift for a special occasion. Get her one gift certificate and offer to go with her for a couples day at the spa, or get her two or more gift certificates so she can treat herself to a girls day with her friends.
Romantic Gestures
-
Show your girlfriend how much you care and value your relationship with a romantic gesture. This can be as extravagant as an all-inclusive vacation to an exotic location or as simple as a love letter written in your own handwriting. Other ideas include making her a romantic dinner at home, going on a hot-air balloon ride or taking a harbor dinner cruise under the stars.
