Buying a Christmas present for your girlfriend is very important. It's basically like a festive test on how much you know and love your girlfriend. If you don't want to screw it up, keep reading.
What to buy my girlfriend for ChristmasIt's approaching Christmas, you still haven't bought your girlfriend a Christmas present, but you're quite relaxed and confident that you'll find the right gift any time now... WRONG APPROACH!
Women read into gifts A LOT, especially when they are from a boyfriend!
You're basically being asked to sum up all your thoughts and feelings about the relationship in one reasonably priced gesture (that can be delivered before the 24th of December). There are three questions a women will be asking themselves when they see the gift you've chosen:
What should I get her for Xmas? The 'does he really know me' part is the first question you should be thinking about. What you should have done (some time around April or May) is to have written down every material possession your girlfriend has ever mentioned wanting. Then you could have picked something off that list and used the line 'I remembered that you said you wanted that back in...' This approach works most of the time, but it may be a little late for that now. Instead, you could use something like her MySpace profile info (she can't have updated that any time after 2003) or some other source of information (maybe even your own memory) to pick out an obscure gift that you know she'll love.
Things to watch out for when picking a gift The questions 'what does this say about our relationship?' and 'does he really love me?' should be approached like a minefield when it comes to picking out Christmas gifts. You need to consider these questions to get through to the other side, but make a wrong move and you risk spending Boxing Day limbless.
A good way to quantify this question is simply the price of the gift. Getting something too cheap for a long term or serious girlfriend is a really bad idea.
On the other hand, showering a girlfriend you've been going out with for three weeks with diamonds will make you look either desperate or insecure.
Finally, if you've read this far and still don't have an inkling what to get her - just get jewellery.

- Does he really know me?
- What does this say about our relationship?
- Does he actually love me or is he going to leave me for that 'treadmill woman' at the gym that he keeps joking about to all his friends?
