gift for girlfriend

[justlaxin484]

ok so i moved away from my girlfriend, but we are trying the long distance thing. next weekend im goin back to see her for four days. i want to get her a gift or something. im already getting flowers bc she loves em. im also making a cd for her thats kinda like a time span of our relationship. its hard to explain but like the first song is "do you remember" by jack johnson, bc we met in september of last year and the second song is "sleeping to dream" by jason mraz bc from the first day i met her i couldnt get her out of my head...etc etc. like that. but i want to get her something else any idea? she like my lax and bball sweatshirts but i dont have the money to buy her one from my new school. help please. and is the cd thing a good idea?

[AttackMan17]

I think the CD is a good idea.
Maybe a few pictures of you/her together framed?


On a sidenote.

My best friend just moved to Seattle and her boyfriend is down here...it is a bit...well...strange.

[THALAX]

Name a star after you and her.

[rjattack19]

yeah dude, its gotta be one of the hardest things ever. AM17, seattle to georgia is a little far hahaha, im in baltimore, shes in cleveland so its not that bad. but still very hard.

yeah i hope she likes the cd, im listening to it now to make sure its good, and so far its excellent.

thanks for the ideas, keep em coming.

[cali feeder]

About the CD, even if it isn't good, its the thought that counts, especially in a situation like this. A framed picture of you and her should be another good gift.

[lax_dude]

get a glow in the dark lax ball and put a pic of you

and then on the bottom put PS THIS BALL GLOWS LIKE MY HEART

my note PS NOBASY ELSE GETS TO USE THIS EXPT THIS GUy IT IS MY VALINTINES SNOOP FOR I GIRL I LIKE IM GOING TO USE IT THIS YEAR

[WestSideLa X eR]

Think of the cheesiest thing ever. Like the stuff you see in movies. She'll love it.

[kingdawgell]

buy her some coldcuts and fine french bread. then tell her to get in the kitchen and make you a sandwich

[MACDADDY]

you should add wake me up when september ends by greenday

[FPDefense]

talking picture frame...

and good luck with the long distance thing. Its by far the hardest thing to do. I have been going out with a girl from Cali since last september

[czechinthepipes]

i think the the best thing is pictures of you and of you and her together. that plus the cd and flowers and your basically set.

[devillax57]

when you get to cleveland, and want cheesy, just go w/ the classic blasting the peter gabriel "in your eyes" on your old school boombox that you've raised above your head. that would be kindof money. Or you can just play your cd.

No offense or anything, but if you gave your ball idea to a girl for a VDay gift and you aren't dating, she might be alittle freaked out by it.

[beach2300]

I'll let you in on a little trick........go out and buy a small bag of hersey kisses. Take out the little paper things. Make your own paper things with sweet things on them. IE- I love you....I cant stop thinking about you.....ect. place them back in the wrapping. This is a golden idea.

yea, talking picturer frame would be tight. i know what your goin through with a relationship, im tryin to keep this realtionship with a girl because i moved out to cali and shes still in PA. it sucks alot

[willy89]

[Melax]

And Condoms

[tkdlaxer]

you guys are horrible. with the sandwich and the condoms..

the hershey kisses thing was kinda nifty. So is the star thing, there are tons of really nice caring thoughtfull things you could do. What does she like? use things she likes...

uh make her a card? make her dinner? take her out to like a drive in movie and make a big show of like packing a meal cooked by you into the car to eat at it...anything dude, just show her how much you care.

Long distance relationships rarelly work when you are young, just tell her you wish she was closer.

[Lax101]

Get her something with a bit more thought into it than a CD, card, something you got out of a movie, or even something we suggest. It simply isn't very thoughtful and it won't mean much to her beyond a "thank you". Make it personal in regards to your relationship. It will be even more effective for her, since it will signify that your relationship is very personal and palpable, despite the obvious long distance issues.

Let me give you an example:

Before I was in a relationship with my girlfriend, she was in my basement, and was rumaging through an old box of kiddie books that my were either read by my siblings or me growing up. She found this little book called "My Little Locket", which was a kiddie book that my sister got years ago. The book was unopened, and it had a fake plastic locket inside it. She found it adorable and I let her take the book and the locket. She then decided to wear the locket during our relationship, until the cheap plastic was so tarnished that it wasnt even worth wearing. And then for her birthday, I bought her a real 22k gold expensive locket, nearly identical to the fake locket but well...real. I then left her a sappy note inside the jewelry box it came with, saying how this locket won't die like the other one, just like our relationship. And of course, she absolutely died over it.

Did it need to be that expensive? Nope. The personal effect was the valuable part of it. Try to think of something like that.

With the Title list for the songs on the CD, write a little note about each one and why you put it.

i hope you were being sarcastic or, that your are a chick because, no offense (and im not trying to sound macho) that was a pretty sissy

And a CD is much more masculine? A 10 minute creation of cheesey love songs from Limewire?

You guys gotta work on your game if you think you're too good to take a girl out to dinner or make her feel appreciated.

i never said i was to good to take her out, i was merley pointing out that those were some sissy sugestions, but you bring up a valid point

[laxgod1790]

Yeah dude well I know what you're talking about with the long distance thing. My girlfriend is two hours away from me. Me living towards the north of jersey and her living towards the south. It really sucks because you barely get the chance to hang out with her. I also don't get my liscense till school gets out in June. Since my parents won't drive me down there for me to stay down there its gonna really suck.

[bear1m]

I think the CD is a good idea.

[justlaxin484]

well, since this thread was brought back up i might as well tell you how it went. she love the cd. i wrote out what each song meant and why it was on there...she loved it. she also loves to steal my lax shirts and hoodies, which she wears to bed. so i gave her a couple of those. what i did was, i wrapped the gifts in a coat that i brought because i knew it would get cold later in the evening. it did, and i gave her my coat and she went to put it on in the car and the gifts fell right in her lap...perfect (i also told her i left the presents at home haha so even more surprise). long story short, it was the best weekend i think ive ever spent with her...even though we are so far apart, we became a lot closer. it was a little awkward at first because we hadnt seen each other in awhile, but we ended up falling asleep on my couch together one night. and she came over one morning early and crawled into bed with me. all in all a good time.

[gaels_laxer_33]

add i dont wanna miss a thing by aerosmith its such a good songggg.... umm definatly a pic of you and her though

[tkdlaxer]

what part the kid asked for sappy ideas that the girl would like, you seriously mean to tell me that you cant think of sappy ideas that you know a girl would like, I didn't say i did any of those. any who this is off topic.
