hmmm.... for your girlfriend. Make sure it has something that you took the time to get. Make it fairly expensive (around 50 bucks) NOT clothes!
never clothes
possibly some of those bath & body works thing. Browse around the store a nd see what other people are buying (and i dont mean buy what a 50 year old lady buys, watch what other girls her age are buying) then pick the same thing
those gift basket thigns work as well
or, you dont have to give her a material gift
just take her out somewhere.... like.... that is a super special place that she will always remember and never forget. Then at the end, give her the gift...
or you could always just buy her a ps2 and ddr extreme

Oooooh, if she likes candles then get her some of those scented ones! I'm pretty sure most chicks dig those...

better yet, take her to a place that has scented candles! Like a dinner table! and dim the lights down! then you can take her to your porch at night (unless its REALLY cold) and just.... sit there, and do allt aht mushy mushy stuff

Well, as a dog-demon, you could always try pet shampoo.
Otherwise, well, we really don't know anything specific about her, so we wouldn't know the "perfect present" for her if it posted in this thread. Think about what she likes, what she enjoys doing, and whether she might have "hinted" about something in the past. (has she mentioned wishing for something recently? Looked appreciatively at something that might be suitable? Maybe you could get her a movie she likes or something.)

i know. A little doggy ornament-decorative thing! And give it to her during a special occasion! Therefore she will always remember that time ^^

hehe^^ well as a girl, may I have a say?^^;;
well, I don't know about all the other girls out there,
but personally for me, I don't like expensive gifts >_<
If I ever had a boyfriend, I'd want to be felt that he loves me
and truly cares for me, not just materialistic wise~
but I guess I may be the weird one too^^;; I'm not sure, but
just my opinion^^ I'm sure whatever you get her she'll like
if she really likes you^-^
Good luck~

Oh, no. Dont do that... Scented candles and food just dont mix well.
[quote="Waterlillee"]hehe^^ well as a girl, may I have a say?^^]
Ah-yes, the voice of reason surfaces.
I agree with WL, money should not matter (and if it does... get a new girlfriend.). Make her somthing sentimental. You must have pictures of her, or her and you together. Make a photo-book (Creative Memory style) of the two of you and your fun together.
Start a tradition, buying an Christmas ornimant each year that is significant to the both of you and/or your relationship (or some memory you both share).
Write her a poem, or plan a day of fun with all the above!
Girls like stuff they can look at and think of you by.
It really shouldnt matter what you get each other, as long as you do it in love.
[quote="Sess"]Thanks all for the ideas but i got the perfect one]
That nice, but it does sound an awful lot like this jewlery commercial I saw once...

No offence please, but Im not so sure that sharing your feelings with another can be considered a gift. (lest your love be so covited)
Would you have not announced your love were it not Christmas?
Just wondering.

Having been married 22 years I have this advice,
Ask yourself what YOU would like, and then buy her the exact opposite of it.

Uh...you're fourteen and you're announcing your 'love for a woman'? Aren't you a little young? (Don't get me wrong: I'm young as well.)

I agree. You don't need to be professing love at your age. It's probably not love (maybe, but not likely). A gift will be fine.

Nice to be on the same side of an argument with you this time, Chichiri.

Present advice.... Best you don't get advice from me. I had to ask my friend if it was okay to give a girl a blender for a gift. Seriously, I'm no good when it comes to gifts.
What little I do know:
don't get anything too expensive, that may be overdoing it. Perhaps making it look like you are trying to buy her love. You know her the best; give her something from your heart-- something that's very sentimental to her. Seriously, all my sentimental things aren't worth much, only the memories I place in them. That's what really counts--the thought behind it.
So in conclusion: price should have no bearing on the gift, it's the thought behind it that counts. It's it's expensive so be it, but it's also okay to get something no up in the high price range. Perhaps something hand made would work fine: bracelet, drawing etc..
Though it may be I have no idea what I'm talking about-- I know little about what girls really want
.
Also, seeing you are only 14yrs I doubt you have the money to purchase her a PS2 or something expensive
. Just keep it practical and memorable.

Amen to that. I'm sure your girlfriend doesn't need or expect to be "bought" or showered with expensive presents to know you care for her. Get her something personal, something that shows you pay attention to her likes and interests, that's what really speaks to me as a girl. Like, is there a band she likes? Get her a poster. Is there a specific scent she adores? A bath set or candle in that flavor would be nice (although, admittedly, cliche). Does she have a favorite place to eat? Take her out and then watch her favorite movie with her. Something to that effect--it doesn't have to be expensive or fancy. Anything to show you care about HER the PERSON not just her because she's your girlfriend. I'm sure you'll do fine; the fact you're even asking should be proof enough you care. ^^

I agree with all the points about buying someone a personal gift. For example a friend of mine loves Pink Floyd so I got her a t-shirt with the Dark Side of the Moon symbol on it. Also a friend of mine knows I absolutely love the movie Full Metal Jacket so they got me an R. Lee Ermey "motivational" doll. (with NCO sword and Gunny hat;))
If you're still having trouble as far as women go Bath and Body Works supplies always work.

You're supposed to give blenders AFTER you get married.
