How to Make a Gift for Your Girlfriend

You can show your girlfriend just how much you care by making her a gift rather than going to a store and buying one. Girls love getting gifts from their boyfriends and the idea that he made it himself will definitely score some extra points. If your girl loves flowers and jewelry theres still a great way to work it all in and still make it more personal.

Show Her How Much You Love Her with Pictures

If you've been together for a while you no doubt have lots of pictures of the two of you on vacation, at parties or just hanging around. Purchase a nice digital frame and upload as many pictures in it as you can of your best moments together. This gift will be her favorite forever and she will show it off to all her friends and family.

Give Her Whatever She Wants

Make a gift certificate booklet on your computer. Make up vouchers for all of her favorite things. Have on for a massage, another for limo ride to the next party and you can even make one for a vacation to a place she's always wanted to go. You can make as many as your budget can handle. You can make one for each month of the year so she doesn't want them all at the same time. Then make it really special by putting what you think will be her most favorite on the month of her birthday and put the date of her birthday on the certificate too. Do another for the anniversary of your first date and don't forget Valentine's Day. She will be super impressed that you remembered all these dates. Then don't forget to say something each month to remind her to use it so she knows you really meant it.

Recycle Some Jewelry

All girls have jewelry they love that has gotten broken. If you know of a piece you might want to fix it for her and then wrap it up for her or you can have it made into a new piece of jewelry for her. I could be something simple or a piece that may be very sentimental to her. She will love you forever for this one.

Remember a Special Night

Surely you've had a special romantic dinner that turned out to be a very special night. Get a bottle of the wine or Champaign that you had that night and drink it, but don't throw away the bottle. If the bottle has a cork, save that too. Get some colored candles and a white taper candle about 6 inches long. If the taper candle won't fit in the top of the wine bottle, carve the bottom end until you can get about 2 inches of it in the bottle. Now take the colored candles and melt them at the base of the white candle allowing the wax to drip down the bottle. Melt a few different colors but don't completely cover the label so she knows it's the wine you had on that date. Now drill a hole through the cork and run a 12 inch piece of twine through it. Write the date of your special night on the end of cork or draw a heart and put both of your initials in it. Tie the cork onto the neck of the bottle with the twine and let it hang down the bottle. If your bottle didn't have a cork, make a little plague out of a piece of metal. Find a small piece of metal and hammer it out. Then use a Dremmel and engrave the date or you initials in it. You can use the wax to attach it to the bottle.

Make Her Some Food

Cook her a gourmet dinner by yourself. Well, you can have just one lifeline and call a friend. Just make sure it's not an old girlfriend. Make salad, a meat dish and a potato. Then make a scrumptious desert like chocolate covered strawberries. Don't forget a good bottle of wine. Set the table up nice with flowers and candles. Make it really special. Nothing ruins the whole thing like handing her a plate and sitting on the couch to eat your gourmet dinner.

Try a Gift Basket

Gift baskets are one of the best and easiest gifts to make. You can make one for a romantic night with wine, cheese and crackers. Include a gift certificate to her favorite spa. The lists of ideas for gift baskets are just endless. Pamper her with all her favorite soap, creams and scents. Always include a gift card to one of her favorite places. You can make one with all her favorite deserts and a gift card to her favorite restaurant. To make the basket first you must find a basket. Craft stores sell just about every kind of basket known to man. Choose one she can use for something else later. You can even use a flower pot if she loves gardening. Then pick up some shrink wrap or colored cellophane and ribbon. The last thing you need to look for is sticky dots. Sticky dots are put between the items in the basket to hold them in place. You don't want her to unwrap it and have everything just fall out. Arrange it so the largest item is in the back and move forward placing the gift card right in the front. Then put your wrap on from the bottom up. If you use the cellophane, tie it together at the top with the ribbon. If you use the shrink wrap, fold it in the back and follow the directions for shrinking. You will need a hair blow dryer. Then put a big bow on it.

Whatever you make your girlfriend, make it as personal as you possibly can. You want her to know that you pay attention to all her likes and dislikes. You also want her to know that you care enough about your relationship that you even remember the dates that are important to her. And lastly, have fun with it.
