Chances are you know her well enough, and even if you don't, there are always gifts that you just can't go wrong with. If you're lucky, you may even get the chance to win her a beautiful piece of jewelry that she'll treasure forever -
The simplest gifts that you can get your girlfriend for are flowers, chocolates and teddy bears. And these are fine because it is possible to make a somewhat generic gift more personal.
Flowers
This may seem like a cop-out gift, but it doesn't have to be. Flowers can say a million words by the colored roses you choose, and the arrangements you prepare. Personally, I'd be impressed with a bouquet of a dozen red roses.
It's important to know what each colored rose represents, so you can impress her with your knowledge and high culture by telling her what they mean -- and in case you get one with the wrong message; and she does know what it means.
Here are the different meanings of rose colors, according to the Rose Information Bureau
-----------------------------------------------
Red
"I love you," respect and courage.
-----------
White
"You're heavenly," reverence and humility, innocence and purity, secrecy and silence, and "I'm worthy of you."
=============
Red + White
Unity
---------------
Pink
Grace and gentility
----------------
Deep pink
Gratitude and appreciation
-------------
Yellow
Joy and gladness
----------------
Red + Yellow
Cheerful, happy feelings
----------------
Coral or Orange
Enthusiasm and desire
====================
Deep burgundy
Unconscious beauty
-----------------
Pale colors
Sociability and friendship
------------------
Rosebuds
Beauty, youth, a heart innocent of love, "you are young and beautiful."
---------------
Red rosebuds
Pure and lovely
--------
A single rose
Simplicity
------------------
A single rose in full bloom
"I love you" or "I love you still" (in this case, you can justify not getting a full bouquet)
-------------
Hybrid tea roses
"I'll remember you always"
-------------
Withered white roses
Beware of these! They stand for fleeting beauty and "you made no impression".
-----------------
Two roses taped or wired together (to form one stem)
Engagement or coming marriage (don't do it unless you mean it).
------------------------------------------
Chocolate
A woman always appreciates a box of her favorite chocolates, so if you do opt for these, get her a flavor you know she likes and would appreciate . But if they're truffles, my personal favorite, then get them by the truckload.
Wine
If you know that she has a penchant for fine wine, then get her a bottle of her favorite stuff. From Amaretto to Zinfandel, there's sure to be a drink she prefers -- and you can't go wrong with a bottle of french wine. You can even get drunk together (while you have beer). <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
A teddy bear is always a safe option, but you may want to get her this combined with chocolates or flowers, so that she gets a nice gift that she can enjoy right away, and have something to cuddle with while you're not around.
These are more generic gifts that are perfect for newer couples, when you're really at a loss for what to get her, or if you know she really just appreciates chocolates or flowers.
But like I said, you can make these even more special by having them delivered to her at work place or university (and make all her friends jealous) or send her twelve single roses all day, until she can make a bouquet herself. For example, leave a rose on her doorstep in the morning, have others delivered to her throughout the day, give one to her personally when you see her.
Women also love to keep their flowers as a sentimental item, so you can have a bouquet of roses delivered to her, and then give her a beautiful vase, so that she can keep her flowers for a long-time once she dries them (women know how to dry their flowers, so don't even ask).
