What I gifted my Girlfriend

Some information about me- I am a regular guy like you and have just begun working in the IT sector. Yea, I am an engineer. I am committed to one sweet girl. Our relationship will see its second anniversary in December. It’s all going pretty nice and I want to maintain it.

Here’s my True Story- It was my Girlfriend’s birthday last week and I desperately wanted to surprise her but, to keep my wallet breathing and alive, every plan I made, was scratched out. The anxiety of surprising her with something really nice was taking a toll on me. I began my search with everywhere, even online. I remember I had even her bestie, Saumya for some ideas but, she didn’t even nudge. Now since I was open to gifting with a small condition that it should not pinch my pocket, I came across many absurd ideas. Finally there were a few that brought my search to a stop…

Gift her something EXCLUSIVE You could gift her an exclusive dinner made by you (of course you could take somebody’s help, or do it all by yourself, there are many recipe videos online) or do a dedication and not just a random dedication, a dedication made just for her. Record it and put it on a CD. It could be a song, or a little poem or just your feelings. Put your heart in to it and she’ll listen to it all day! One guy- LUCAS, whom I found on WishZee app helped me construct a poem for her and boy, how crazily she smiled after listening to it!

Gift her MEMORIES Create a collage of pictures of each of her birthday or the best clicks of her. Now, you would have to be really careful while painstakingly collect the pictures from her family and friends, but, yea it will be worth it. Also, be sure to start working on it well in advance.

Gift her your feelings This idea was inspired by Minni Sood who wrote to me: You must have been vocal about your feelings to her hundreds of time, but nothing will make her feel more special when you write it down. Jot down all the little things that make you fall in love with her all over again on separate pieces of paper and hide them among her things in different places. Imagine how totally blown she’d be when she keeps discovering them one by one all throughout the day!

Gift her the little things she needs It isn’t always necessary to gift her chocolates, dinners and parties. You can always gift her things she really needs and can use for the rest of the year. Try going into the flashback and remember things she told she wanted to buy or needed but, didn’t actually come around to. For example, you get her a Dairy Organizer, or Hair Ties or something for her kitchen- A multipurpose storage set or a new pillow to hold on to at night; just little little things that will make a worthwhile difference in her life. I got mine- Hair clutches.

Gift her a fun day Loads of fun tipped with some pampering will bring you many boyfriend points. Mine is floored by me! How? Well, I started by organizing for us a breakfast on the beach with the help of one food delivery option, then I bought her a bubble maker and went for some cotton candy and fresh popcorn. We spent the whole day on the beach, eating, chatting, goofing around and yes, loads of Selfies! I also did a prompt photo shoot of her.

I began the day with the poem, which I read out to her as soon as we got the beach; I think the waves that were kissing her toes as I read my poem did their magic. Then I gifted her her collage and breakfast basket that got delivered next and followed it up with the rest, ending with the photo shoot under the setting Sun. It was total fun and didn’t create a deep hole in my pocket. Try it! She went back to her apartment filled with hidden notes that Saumya hid on my behalf. My girlfriend said it was the best birthday she had.
