The trick to knowing what to get a girlfriend for Christmas is understanding her well enough to know what she will find romantic and heartfelt. Some girls are moved by expensive gifts while others would prefer something more personal and less expensive. Here are some ideas to get your brainstorm started. Chances are, when you find the right gift, you’ll know it right away.

  1. That thing she’s been wanting. The present that will score you the most points with your girlfriend is that one thing she’s been pining for but hasn’t gotten for herself. Whether it’s a piece of clothing, a kitchen gadget, a piece of jewelry, or even a book, if she knows you’ve been noticing her wants and needs she will be touched.
  2. Lingerie. Buying lingerie for your lady can be tricky. You want it to be something you enjoy but not something she thinks you bought just for you. You need to know your woman’s style well to pull this off. In general, aim for classy instead of slutty. Also look for pieces that will feel good on her skin – silk, etc.
  3. Tickets to a play or show. When buying these, remember that they are for her enjoyment, not yours. And, yes – you’re buying two because you’re going to dress up and sit beside her during the whole thing. She’ll appreciate your willingness to accompany her to things she enjoys.
  4. That inside joke. If you and your lady have an inside joke that no one else shares, it’s not a bad idea to take the joke to the next level. Order a coffee mug or t-shirt with the secret sentence or image that will make her think of the intimacy and fun you share.
