If she is fond of these kind of things - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Letters-Father-Christmas-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0261103865/sr=8-1/qid=1166684962/ref=sr_1_1/202-6906297-6648634?ie=UTF8&s=books is probably one of the most creative gift books you could give.

Any ideas of a budget? How about a last-minute holiday to Heathrow?

Get a massive christmas stocking and put lots of little gifts in it.

How about a new dog, then you can post all your questions about training it on the sinner main board.

Better yet, you could steal an old dog from a garage!

Or, more realistically:
1. A watch
2. Her favourite album on vinyl - even if she doesn't have a record player, it would still be cool. And personal. As long as you get the right one.
3. Theatre tickets
4. Goldfish
5. A car
6. Diamonds.
7. Sinner account.
8. Gloves and a scarf
9. Porn
10. Perfume

Then again - it's blatantly obvious -

JUST BUY HER JEWELLERY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!

I think he is refering to the Skeleton Key shop that is due to open soon. They say they will be selling belt buckles made out of expensive materials etc. If you are interested i think the guy mentions contacting him in the Skeleton Key thread. Quite expensive i would guess, but definitely an unusual present that a few people would enjoy.

How long have you been going out with her? I always use the rule that if it's been less than a day don't get her anything, less than a week get her a picnic/toffee crisp, less than a month get her a remote controlled car and for around a year and beyond get her bath soaps. This scheme has always worked for me and to put it into perspective i have probably had more girlfriends than you have had hot (or cold) dinners (or any meal for that matter, breakfast,second breakfast, elevenses brunch, tiffin, lunch, tea, dinner, supper, desert, snack)

This is the final straw. theyahyahyahs MUST be a windup. There is no person on earth this ridiculous.

There may be a reason for you having that many girl friends if you think that a year qualifies bath salts.

I would go with a pendant or something you know means alot to her even if it doesnt cost all that much. If she knows that you know that it is important to her then she will love it. Go by the rule of hitting the heart or going for the "ooh sparkly"

Adopt a reindeer for her: http://www.reindeer-company.demon.co.uk/Adopt/adopt.htm

Find a first edition of her favourite book:
http://www.abebooks.co.uk/

Buy her a voucher from her favourite clothes shop (though that's a bit unimaginative and vague- you could choose something you know she'd like. Underwear is, of course, hackneyed to the extreme, but if you do go for that, pick out something pretty, devoid of leather, and preferably not from Ann Summers).

Book a surprise vac that won't break the bank:
http://www.easyjet.com/en/book/cheapflights.asp

Buy her tickets to see her favourite band:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/

If all else fails, there is the toiletries option, but make sure it's something nice (Lush, or Benefit, or Dr Harris) rather than superdrug's own brand or something.

Saying that, I'm sure she'll love whatever you give her- not for what it is, but because it's from you.

The best presents are personal, unique and not likely to be replicated.

Good luck!
Rufus

Because Skeleton Key with ridiculous caps is NOT going to open soon. The thread is months old. The chap who started it was blowing hot air and feeding us a large pile of steaming excrement back in JULY. The last 50 posts on that thread are a piss-take. If you were a real individual genuinely trying to communicate you couldn't possibly make a mistake like that. I call BS and would be intruiged to know who you, sir or madam, really are.
