PH Girlies - What should I get this one?

[KingRichard]

I've been seeing a young lady for a couple of months but that's included her being up at her parents gaff over the summer (she's a student) so we're only really talking a few weeks. It's her birthday tomorrow, and she's dropping hints about presents. Cheeky monkey

Anyway, I've always dated really shallow women... this one is a bit different. Really outdoorsey (made up word), adventurous and probably the least vain person I've ever met. Fortunately she's naturally beautiful so she just kinda looks windswept

Anyway... clearly the previously faithful gifts that I used to lovingly handpick (yeah, right ) aren't going to cut the mustard. Jewellery, Perfume, Spa days blah blah...

I'm tempted to buy something that we can do together, maybe an adventure day, hot air ballooning or shooting lessons or something but I don't want it to look like I bought it for myself. If you see what I mean...

Any suggestions?

I'm not a girl (well not last time I checked), but I would say don't get anything that's more "you" than "her". ie you don't want it to look like you are buying something forself. I'm think more horseriding than motorsport.

Buy her a Pony

Buy her some new walking boots. In your size.

Budget?

[KingRichard]

Can do horse riding anyway, I've got a couple for investment purposes...

Anyone need some dog food or Bostik?


I'm joking...

I know what you mean though. I know we'd have a laugh doing most things but don't want it to just be another date, it sort of needs to be marked out as a gift as well

I would say an experience is the best gift, ie., hot air ballooning etc, memories are worth much more than trinkets in my opinion!

(Although if Mr 13 is reading this scratch the above and buy me some serious diamonds! my birthday is 26 days away!!!! )

Very true, An ex paid for a flying lesson for my birthday, It's turned out to be one of the most memorable presents I've ever had. Adventure gift is definitely worth considering.

What hints is she dropping? What about lunch in France via Eurotunnel & a bit of shopping??

My wife loved the falconry day that I bought for her a couple of years ago:

..or just book a night in a hotel for a romantic weekend away - quick and easy to do on the internet, e.g.:

Not really a shopper. Trip to france sounds ace though. Woder if I could do it in an old plane or something?
