Birthday Ideas For Girlfriends

Your girl's birthday is coming up and you need some birthday ideas for girlfriends. You need ideas for what to get your girlfriend for her birthday and birthday ideas on what you should do together. What you end up doing with or giving your girlfriend for her birthday depends on how long you've been together and what you know she likes or dislikes.

1. Weekend Getaway. This birthday idea for girlfriends works as both an activity for her birthday and a gift. Take her someplace that's within an hour or two drive or train ride. A cute bed and breakfast is usually always a great idea. If you're both the type to plan things, pick an activity in advance you know she'll love. If you head to the beach for the weekend, schedule time for surfing lessons. If you go to a relaxing bed and breakfast in the country, make time for apple or berry picking.
2. Night On the Town. The night on the town birthday idea for your girlfriend is similar to the weekend getaway, but shorter in duration, closer to home and possibly cheaper. Take her out to her favorite fancy restaurant, then off to see a play, dance performance or concert. Remember - it's her birthday, so don't take her to a show only you'll like. Choose an event with her tastes in mind. And if your girlfriend isn't into fancy restaurants or cultural performances, make it a more casual night on the town. Take her to her favorite restaurant, then off to a leisure activity such as a sporting event or monster truck rally.
3. Treat Her Like a Queen. Stay in for her birthday and pamper your girlfriend. Prepare dinner for her and make her favorite dessert. Set up flowers in a vase on your dining table and go ahead and sprinkle some rose petals on your bed. Give her a massage after you eat or before. Light the room with candles instead of the usual electric lighting. After dinner, remember that it's still her birthday and clean up the kitchen too.
4. Surprise Party. This birthday idea for your girlfriend will take a lot of planning and you may need to enlist the help of her friends. It's a great idea for when you're first dating someone and aren't sure of her tastes or if a special one on one birthday would be a good idea. Pick a day near her birthday and arrange to have one of her friends take her out, either shopping or for a manicure. Throw the party at your house so that she won't accidently show up while you're decorating. Invite as many people as will fit in your house, but make sure you invite people she actually likes and not just your friends.
