Christmas Present for my best friend who I want a deeper relationship with

For Christmas, I really want to get my best friend, who I want to pursue a deeper relationship with, the new edition of her favourite poetry book signed by the author with 2 new sections and translate them to her native language, along with a really nice letter telling her what I think of her, so like why I value her e.g. her kindness, her talent as a musician, how interesting she is etc. I also wanted to get her these earrings from a raffle at my school (I will buy them off the winner if necessary), because she just got her ears pierced and I want something she can wear that is special and maybe will prompt her to thinking of me when she wears it as a reminder of how important she is to me. What do you think she will feel about this? By then, we would have known each other for around 2.5 months. She is a bit introverted but the sweetest person you could meet and she is going through some family problems, is being bullied at her school, and has been going through some generalissues but we have talked every day since we met pretty much except when she was sick and needed to rest. I thought the book would be so special because I recorded myself reading passages to her I translated to her native language for her to listen to while she was sick, and she thought that was really cute of me to do, is what she said.

It’s potentially a bit much if she doesn’t feel the same way as you. You do need to be careful about gifts with expectations however well meant. Trust your instincts, if she appreciated your previous thoughtfulness perhaps it’s ok. I would stick to one gift though and see how things go

Well I feel like I have gotten some signs and she is normally excited to talk to me, but you are right I don’t know how she really feels. Lately she has wanted space because she has been busy after her sickness with homework and is having lots of family and school problems. I am not sure if she is processing deeper feelings right now though or not.
