#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!
