Q&A for How to Give Your Girlfriend an Unforgettable Birthday

Your girlfriend will appreciate a gift that is thoughtful and intentional. You can give a material thing to her or do some fun activities together that she likes.

You can write a love letter or a letter explaining how you feel about your girlfriend and leave it somewhere in her house where she can find it.

You can make your living room cozy and watch movies or something interesting together. Or you can camp in your backyard to have fun.

You can give your girlfriend a surprise vacation or an Airbnb to make her birthday memorable.

Flowers, chocolate, wine, jewelry, underwear, shoes, movie tickets, a car, a city trip, a spa treatment, a massage, a haircut, a beauty retreat, dinner at a nice restaurant, an item she collects, a decorative item, candles, bath soap, bath salts, beauty products, a trip to the beach, a surprise birthday party, a book, a beautiful picture, or even simple things, like her favorite treat.

If she is your girlfriend, of course. If you haven't gotten to that point, maybe it isn't.

Try to make a new plan on the fly. You never want to give up when it comes to your girlfriend's birthday.

Impress her with your knowledge. It doesn't hurt to show your intelligent or serious side.

Just do your best to get her something you think she wants.

Show off your creative side by decorating a poster board any way you'd like.

If your boyfriend isn't in the position to pay, it isn't wrong. If he can pay, yes, it is pretty messed up. Don't read too much into it. If it occurs again, bring it up.

If you do it the day before she will feel as though you couldn't wait to make her feel special, which makes it twice as special. If she has plans with her family or with her friends, it is okay, or maybe you should take her earlier in the day or later that night.

Honesty and vulnerability are a good gift. Write a song or poem.

You should get her at least one, but how many is up to you!

It could be, if it's something rare and unique you treat her to.

If you really care for her, try to make up before her birthday. Apologize for your part in the argument and try to talk it out. In the long run, it's better to put aside your difficulties and give your girlfriend a great birthday instead of hanging on to resentment.

Try some chocolates, roses, and a card. If you want to be more creative, make her breakfast or write a poem for her. Nothing wrong with getting in touch with your gentle side.

The BEST gift would probably be a surprise visit. If you showed up at her house with some flowers to show her how much you care about her, that would be perfect. However, that's not feasible with everyone. You could also give her a gift that makes her feel closer to you, like an album of photos of the two of you.

Try to give him hints that your birthday is coming up, or get one of your friends to mention it to him.

Depends on whether she is up at that time. If she's not, then don't wake her up. If she is, you can, but it isn't necessary; most people would wait until the morning or when they see the person.

Give her something handmade. If you hand-make something that means you put a lot of time into it, this is more valuable that just buying her a simple present.

Something that she can keep forever. Something like a bracelet or a necklace (i.e. not food or flowers).

It isn't unusual for a guy to forget your birthday. Just throw little hints the day prior to your birthday. And try not to get mad at him about missing it, depending on how long you two have been together.

If you're in a time crunch, chocolate and her favorite flowers are a pretty safe and easy bet. Get a card and write something heartfelt inside.

Flowers, clothes, chocolates, wine are all safe choices. If you know her well, get her something connected to her interests.

You should find out what their favorite things are, and then get a present based on that. You can incorporate their favorite colors and interests, and make an unforgettable birthday gift.

If you both feel comfortable with it, sure. Make sure she doesn't mind before you do it, though.

Just hang out together, have a nice talk and tell her what you appreciate about her. You could even bring up the fact that you wanted to take her out, but couldn't.

You could do both! You could plan a small get together with her friends, and then plan a romantic evening for the two of you.

There's no one gift all girlfriends will like, but there are a million your girlfriend will like. I keep a list of names and things they mention they like throughout the year. You see, it's not the gift that counts, it's how well you paid attention to what your girlfriend likes. Every time you see her, she's giving you thousands of ideas of things she likes, so listen, look, take notes.
