<p>I am pretty cheap. I bought my gf a DVD set she wants off of EBay. What else should I get her/how much do you think I should spend. I am thinking $100-$150 range, this should buy good stuff. What do women like besides cooking stuff and lingerie?</p>
<p>Chocolate. But chocolate lingerie is a terrible idea.</p>
<p>More seriously: what does she do for fun? Get her something related to that.</p>
<p>Chocolate lingerie LOL I heard all edible underware on the market is horrible tasting anyways. But seriously, I am from the school of “gift kickback” ie something that I can use/watch too. I will probably just get her a bunch of DVDs that we both like. Maybe some perfume from EBay. Like Diamonds or Tommy Girl.</p>
<p>I love theme baskets. You’ve got a great start with the DVD’s. Think about adding some quality popcorn, quality hot chocolate, a set of mugs, think cuddling in front of the movies you’ve bought. Depending on the length of time you’ve been dating you should add something special just for her in the basket like earrings, bracelet, perfume, etc. Your price range should be sufficient. Anyway that’s my opinion.</p>
<p>Joev, your ideas sound good. I wouldn’t spend a lot of money because it might scare her, or it just might be a lot of money wasted. It seems like just a little while ago you were just starting to date.</p>
<p>How about some massage oil and, of course, you supply the massage.</p>
<p>The gift basket theme sounds good. Add some movie size candy boxes that you can get at any drugstore. And you could add a cuddly soft throw blanket.
I would hesitate to get perfume off ebay unless you know it is one she loves.</p>
<p>Oh, and a 50" Plasma TV to watch it on! That’s what I am going to buy my wife – 'cause I love her so much and she really enjoys watching me watch football!!!</p>
<p>^^^She won’t watch football with me anymore. (Browns fan) But I am already bringing over my TV to watch over there.</p>
<p>I’m not joking concerneddad, that’s what my husband just bought as our “family” present. Between him and my sons, I’ve watched more ESPN this week than I’ve watched in my life.</p>
<p>Oh, you thought I was kidding coronax2? LOL</p>
<p>joev, going on 25 years with H, and the one thing he’s been consistently wonderful at, is choosing books for me. He’s not much for the traditional ‘feminine’ gifts – I have to help him out a lot – but he chooses offbeat, interesting books for me. One was, “Road from Coorain” by Jill Ker Conway – apparently, I really enjoyed it, because the memory has stayed with me for many years. The point, for me, is that he’s taken the time to think about what I’d really enjoy. So, I’d suggest spending some time in a bookstore, and choosing something special.</p>
<p>On my last birthday my boyfriend bought me a gift certificate to a day spa for a massage, manicure, and pedicure. I thought it was a great idea because they are all things I enjoy but won’t ever spend the money on myself to go do.</p>
