#6 - Gifts For Her - Unique Flowers

A fantastic way to surprise your girlfriend for her Birthday or Valentines Day is to send her some nice flowers. Try to make it as surprising and as unique as possible.

Always remember to order your girlfriends flowers in advance as there is nothing more stressful than rushing around at the last minute trying to make arrangements and finding that most websites are sold out!!! At least if you do it a couple of weeks in advance it gives you the chance to explore other avenues.

If you order flowers from my banner at the bottom of this post you can order great flowers for as little as £9.99.

Some good tips on getting your girlfriend flowers for Valentines Day or her Birthday are:

- Get them delivered to your girlfriends work place! That way it will surprise her and cheer your girlfriend up for the rest of the working day :). She will also be the center of attention when all her colleagues start asking who sent them and how sweet it was!

- Order something a bit different. Like a single blue rose, multi colored rose or a rose with an inscription. It adds a a bit more "wow" factor. You can get some fantastic roses from the below banner. At the time of this writing they also offer free delivery!!!!

- If you buy your girlfriend flowers for her Birthday or Valantines Day every year then make sure you mix it up a bit by ordering different combinations and surprising her by sending them to different places!

I always order my girlfriend flowers from the below website. So far I have ordered the single Blue rose which looks amazing, single black baccara rose & various bunch combinations. I still think sending a single rose to her work place is the most surprising and best idea!

Be sure to check out the flowers on the below link.... they can cost anything from £9.99 and upwards.

#5 - Gifts For Her - Photo Collage

Sometimes the cheapest gift to your girlfriend can be the most thoughtful! It doesn't cost a great deal to make a photo collage. All you really need to do is buy a semi decent photo frame or even a notice board, print off lots of pictures of you and your girlfriend then arrange them in the frame or on the notice board!

Wilkinsons is a pretty good place to get a photo frame at a good price. You can also pick them up in various bargain shops. If you want to spend a bit more you can get a funkier frame that has multiple photo slots in it.

As for printing out photos, I normally get mine done on the machines at Boots or Asda. The machines accept a variety of different media cards such as USB sticks, flash drives & SD cards. You just slot your card in the machine and it loads up all your pictures then you have to spend ages browsing through them choosing the ones you want of you and your girlfriend! The other option is to print them out using a home printer but I dont have one of them :(.

You can also throw in a few pictures of people or things your girlfriend cares about like family members and pets... just to make it a bit more touching!

If you want to be more adventurous for your girlfriend, you can try making more of a 3d collage on a notice board and stick various bits n pieces on there. A few things I put on my one for my girlfriend were train tickers to places we went, concert tickets and a meal receipt from our first ever meal together :). You can also whack a few silly things on there like wrappers of her favourite snacks or a cigerrette packet of the cigs she smokes ect.

While this idea can be a bit time consuming as well as taking a bit of effort your girlfriend will love it and will no doubt have the collage on her bedside cabinet in no time!

#4 - Gifts For Her - Weekend Away

There are loads of UK holiday destinations which are ideal for a short weekend break away and what better way to treat your girlfriend on Valentines Day than to whisk her away to a nice location!

You can probably expect to pay anywhere between £50 - £250 to gift your girlfriend with a short break, it all depends on where you want to go and what offers are available at the time!

Before you book a short break away its always a good idea to check out what activities are available in the area. You might decide to take your girlfriend to a nice restaurant in the area or a nice romantic stroll along a beach somewhere,
of course its always handy if you have a rough idea where these locations are in proximity to the hotel.

There really are some nice places to take your girlfriend in England that offer some breath taking views and scenary.It all depends on what you both like. You can go to a crazy party destination full of pubs and clubs or a nice chilled relax place with nice scenary, walking paths and tourist attractions.

I'd recommend some of the following destinations:

Weymouth (chilled coastal area with lots of nice village pubs).
Lake District (fantastic views and walking paths).
Cornwall (loveley beaches).
Brighton (good nightlife and near a beach).
London (lots of tourist attractions).

The below banner has some great offers for short weekend breaks such as 2 nights away for £50 - £70. However it does pay to shop around depending on where you and your girlfriend want to go!

#3 - Gifts For Her - Take her for a Meal!

Women love to be treated well and what better way to treat them than to take them out for a nice meal to celebrate her Birthday, Anniversary or Valentines Day together!

Choose a place that you both love or a place thats significant to your relationship, it could be the place you went for a first date or the place you dined at during your first year together!

If you can't think of anywhere then narrow it down by what take-aways you like, do you both like Chinese or Indian? Then book a table at the place you normally order from assuming its not to shabby!

As its a special occasion fast food places should be a definite no no (McDonalds, KFC & Burger King)! Also if your girl friend works in a food related environment such as a chef at a pub then make sure its somewhere far away from there!

Its nice to take your girlfriend somewhere different and non local so your not always bumping into people you know. That way you can both focus your attention on each other :).

Surprise her and get it all booked up then just say "make sure your ready for 7pm tonight because I'm taking you out ;)".

#2 - Gifts For Her - Personalised Card

What ever the occasion, be it her Birthday, Valantines Day, Christmas or Anniversary its always nice to get your mum, sister or girlfriend a personalised card.

They are so easy to create and cost around £3 to be delivered on any date you choose! Basically all you need to do is choose a card template, upload a personal photo and customize all the text as much as you want!

It really is simple to do and it can feel alot more rewarding than a normal card as you can make it as funny, sweet, sexy or lude as you want! Your girlfriend will most definitley appreciate the extra effort that has gone into it.

Lets face it, most of us guys are not very good at remembering all those Birthdays when they come round so make a list of all those special woman in your life and set one day aside to create personalised cards for all of them so its out of the way!!!

My favourite website for creating these cards is Touchnote which can be accessed using the below banner.
