Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (1 December 2006): What type of person is she? What does she do for hobbies, and what are some of her interests? Does she appreciate fine art? Does she appreciate music, and what type? Does she love to cook? Does she enjoy wines? Does she like to travel? Is there a place she has kind of mentioned?
It's easy to buy jewelry, flowers, cards, mp3 players, games, and take her to dinner, but it takes a bit more creativity and effort in buying her jewelry and customizing it, or create 143 origami roses/tulips, or make card from cut-outs of other things, or create a tin-can mp3 player and upload songs made by you, or buy her a board game but customize the pieces and rearrange the board specifics, and/or learn to cook a dish you think she might like.
Then again, this really depends on your willingness, and how refined her mentality is for these sort of things.

I think a gift of perfume is always appreciated, especially if it is a pricey one and in a pretty bottle, and you actually like it alot, and tell her you can't wait until you are alone together and she is wearing the scent you picked out for her, very intimate, but it does not scream of committment too soon in the relationship.
Merry Christmas.

 I'd get her a gold/silver bracelet. look at the colour jewllery that she wears most and get a simple bracelet of that colour. Bracelets are good because they don't have the 'messages' that come with buying rings, and they're not as expensive as necklaces and Earrings are something a girl sould really choose for herself.
Get her a bracelet (but.. it is true that teddy bears are really good too, just make sure it feels really soft)

 All good suggestions, though I wouldn't recommend the bowling ball if she does not bowl.. because she might start and meet a guy named Jacques. But definately find something she will like.. most girls will tell you.. :) I'd problaly go with a stuff animal (an animal she likes a lot), a rose or two and a lovely card.

Buy her a bowling ball with "Homer" engraved in it.
If she doesn't get the joke you can leave her and start a new life as a professional bowler. Never look back, mate.

Or get her lingerie you'd like to see her in. *wink*...either way, if you remember to get her something, give her a mushy card, tell her you love her (and mean it!) then you can't go wrong! all the best.

 Christmas is a tricky holiday for new couples. 6 months? The trickiest time. Jewelry can be a little too much, but a gift certificate is too impersonal. My reccommendation for a present for the lady is a reeeeaaallly pretty scarf/gloves/hat set. A nice one.
Also, frame a nice picture of the two of you and write on the back of the frame. Something nice, concise. Both of those, and you'll be golden.
If I was 6 months into a relationship, that's what I'd like.
Happy holidays, sweetness.

 depending on how u feel about her, jewllery is quite often a good bet.
if engagement is not on the cards then maybe an iternity ring, or book a romantic weekend away somewhere.
it doesnt have to be expensive, a seaside hotel or cottage wrapped up warm in front of blazing fire, romantic walks for the sunrises or sunsets along the sea.
or get her a cd she likes.
listen to her these next few weeks, pay a little more attention to her likes + dislikes.
good luck with what ever you choose. and have a surprising christmas xxx
