Stumped on coming up with ideas for a great Christmas gift for your girlfriend? You’re definitely not alone! As we swiftly approach the end of the Holiday gift season, your feelings of mild anxiety can rapidly turn into all-out panic. Sure, there are lots of ideas that have been probably been done before – perfume, chocolates, spa gift certificates – but you want to go for the gusto and get her something totally unique and unexpected, the gift that she will remember for years to come. These unique Christmas gift ideas will get you going in the right direction!
1. Financial Gift
And no… I don’t mean give her a wad of cash. Although she may accept a stack of $100 bills to use to her heart’s desire, this gift idea lacks any sort of thoughtfulness or personal touch. There are better ways that you can spin the idea of the “financial gift.” How about buying her a share of stock? Companies like One Stock offer gift shares of stock that arrive framed… and with a personalized placard.
Wouldn’t even know where to begin with picking a share of stock? No worries! Think about brands and products that she uses on a regular basis. If she has an affinity for jewelry, a share of stock from Tiffany and Company would be more than appropriate. What about an insatiable desire for chocolate? Hershey’s stock is available! What about a closet full of designer bags? Coach is a premiere company offering luxury handbags…. and you can buy her a share of their stock!
What she’ll love about this gift is that you’re looking out for her financial future. Rather than simply buying her a Tiffany charm bracelet or Coach handbag, the gift of a share of stock will appreciate and earn interest over time, enabling her to purchase more of what she loves!
2. TV Show Gifts
Another unique idea is to feed her obsession with her favorite TV series! Does she religiously watch Glee, True Blood, Dexter, Entourage, or even Sex and the City? If so, then she may appreciate gifts you can buy from sites like Shop the Show – coffee mugs, shot glasses, DVD box sets, posters, tote bags, and more – featuring her favorite cult following TV show. Is she more into TV classics from yesteryear like I Love Lucy, Cheers, Frasier or Dynasty? Memorabilia from primetime, daytime, and even classic TV shows are available for your gift-giving pleasure. If she’s really into HBO Original Series (best programming on TV, some might argue), try the HBO.com shop.
3. Experience Gifts
What about giving her the gift of an experience that she has always dreamed about? Maybe she’s shared with you that she’s always wanted to take a hot air balloon ride or wanted to nurture her creativity through a pottery or glass blowing class. Or even still… maybe it’s been quite awhile since you two have done “Date Night” together and you want to give her the time of her life to keep the sparks in the relationship going. Little known secret – but some companies like Xperience Days and Cloud 9 Living offer gift certificates that you can purchase for experiences. All you have to do is check the availability for your metropolitan area and then buy a gift certificate or two. How about giving her an experience that the two of you can share together – one for every Saturday for a month? Think culinary classes, dance lessons,DJ lessons, helicopter tours over the city, even flight lessons for two. The best thing is that you’re free to redeem the certificates when you like so you’re not locked in to something you can’t use if you have to reschedule.
