we have been together for a year, then we split up 2 months ago and now we have just got back together. i want to get her something to prove i love her. what should i get??


buying her something won't prove anything.

you need to show her that you love her.

if you want to get her something, make it something special to the two of you, or take her somewhere nice....like a day trip and a picnic.

That kind of thing is worth more than expensive diamonds any day

For some reason I have a distinct urge to say "poultry" and I can't for the life of me figure out why....extremely odd (don't buy poultry :p:)

get a star named after her if she's a romantic

If she doesn't believe you love her, don't try to win her over with presents. Show her you love her by the person you are. I think a present to prove your love to someone can seem like you don't have enough substance to your own person so you have to resort to presents to supplement the goodness of yourself. I'm finding it quite hard to say in words what I mean so I hope this makes sense.
If it's not quite as deep as that, then make the present a personal one. Personally, I hate jewellery, especially jewellery I haven't chosen because there are very few items of jewellery I have ever really liked.
Think carefully about her likes and dislikes. Give her something creative and personal to her, something that she would love and it would mean something to her, but no one else would think it so special. For example she might have mentioned something she likes/wants. Don't get her something you could have got for anyone, ie standard 'presenty' things like jewellery, chocolates, gadgets etc.
For my best friends' birthdays I got them personalised t shirts; I designed a print (saying a personal joke and a little miss picture) then took it to a shop and they put it onto a t shirt for me. You can personalise more or less ANYTHING like that, mugs, mouse mats, clothes etc. I'd be so touched if someone gave me something personalised like that!
If you do decide to do something like that then get something on it that relates to BOTH of you, that way it will remind her of you every time she looks at it.

Hope she likes whatever you get her!

lol *bows* and thanks, glad I made you laugh! I'd make another vague attempt at humour but it's late and it would probably come out a)weird b)offensive or c)appalling, so I won't!

a photo frame with a picture of you both in it. :smile:


... oh i don't know. i liked the picnic idea. i got some felt roses after a fight with someone once, that was rather nice, because I still have them.
They said that they would last - like us - forever, and I've kept them, purely because it's proof that whilst we didn't work, we still loved oneanother.


Oh look at me getting soppy.

Ok being serious for a moment: That photo idea is rather nice to be honest, and it's certainly a good idea to do something rather than buy something. Somehow I doubt she wants "things", if she's really worried then she'll want a sign from you that you're serious this time. Buying something and saying "this is to make up for before" probably won't go as far as cooking a romantic meal and spending the night talking to each other.

Get her March of the Penguins on DVD, tell her you want both of you to watch it together because you know how much she loves animals and what's important to her is important to you. Then sleep through the bulk of the film, not forgetting to hang your mouth open and snore, afterwards claiming "it was Morgan Freeman's voice, it's hypnotic". Fellow frustrated girlfriends of such individuals should send complaints to TSR member "Will" :smile:

Hmm, Just buy her roses and 'candy'. Works in the movies.

I wouldn't even have minded so much if he'd just admitted he didn't find the film engrossing and he was tired or something, it was the way he tried to pretend it wasn't his fault lol. Anyway, OP I think a well thought out day together always works well, arrange everything yourself, including transport eg if you have a car, tell her you'll pick her up at such a time, then arrive on time with a nice bunch of flowers. Treat her to something you know she really likes doing - if it's shopping, go into town and have endless patience while she tries stuff on then buy her whatever she wants. If she likes being outdoors or animals or something, take her to a nice zoo or country park and pack a picnic. There's loads of ways you can fill a day. Then have her back to yours, cook her a nice dinner and hire out her favourite film on DVD. Although not March of the Penguins, especially if drooling on her shoulder sounds like something you might be prone to.
