My friend's birthday is next week, and I'm having a headache picking the right present...

At first, I thought about giving her concerts ticket (what's wrong with me and concert anyway), but she said she's not that interested.
After that I thought about giving her an oven, because she like baking but don't have oven in her apartment.
But last week she move to a new place and found a part time job on weekend, so she told me she doesn't have time for baking anymore.

Now, I'm in quite a headache about picking another birthday present.
Here is what I considering right now,
an UNIQLO hoodies and a flower bouquet, or a Jo Malone fragrance (not sure about the scents though).

And I will make one birthday cake for her myself, two cake if time allows...

Any other presents idea are more than welcome!!!!
Yes, it's the same girl from my previous topics...

Are you guys official now? Or are you still in courting process?

Scents are very subjective and DON'T buy unless you know what specific scent she likes.

What concert was it? Did you want to buy it because you like it? Because it is famous? Or because she like it? Figure this out and you'll know the answer.

DIY presents are always a win (unless she is a golddigger)

Not official, and I'm not sure what stages I'm in...

I once ask her what scent she like, citrus, floral, fruity or tea, and she said all  doh.gif

Lewis Capaldi, I planned on bringing her to his concert, haven't buy the tickets yet, but now that I know she's not that interested, so I'm not gonna anymore. And yes, I like it, and it's just 5 minutes from her office to the avenue. I just want to make up for that Ed's concert.  bangwall.gif

The only thing I know how to DIY is the birthday cake, planning on making her one, maybe two birthday cake if I have enough time.

like I've said scent is very subjective and it can only go two ways: love it or hate it. It's not like a bag where you can like it or bring it to certain occassions/outfits.

Try to gauge what she likes through her social media if she is active. What are the things she often shares, what is her style... Through there maybe you can buy lipstick or accessories.

Lipsticks are still ok, at least you know that red looks good and pink doesn't... Maybe I'm a lady so I know lol. Scents are definitely a no no unless you know that specific scent. Heck I don't even know how to describe the scent I like.

If non gifts then can go indoor climbing? Or Superpark. Or maybe ABC cooking.

Male is much simpler, cause I'm male, I know what I like, I know what I don't like  biggrin.gif
But since I'm still new in the frag game, so I only buy decant, now I have dior sauvage edt, acqua di gio profumo, bvlgari aqva amara and some others that I don't really like but not hating it either...
I never bought girl any fragrance before, cause I don't even know where to start, but I sometimes go youtube and check Jeremy Fragrance video to at least get some ideas what to look for.
Fragrance is something personal, since she is your gf for few years d, you sure already have slight idea what scent she like. If you ask me, you can check Dolce Gabbana light blue line, or Jo Malone if you willing to spend a little extra.

I can't say for all male, but at least I am...
Depends on what your bf like...
I like cooking, so if I ever have a gf, she can gift me a pair of knife, or other cookware and equipments, or cookbook from certain chef. So I can cook her a meal.
That is for practical kind of present...

But for something meaningful, this is kinda hard, you need to find out yourself, maybe something you can use that reminds you of him/her sometimes.
For my case, an oven, cause she mentioned it couple of times before moving to her new place.

Or somethings you know that he likes to do it with you.
For me, example, concert tickets, but this was more about who you are sharing the experience with, the memories and all that...

It's simple right, at least for me la  laugh.gif

Ah... He likes cooking too but we don't have our own place yet (don't have extra space for new stuff) so kitchen equipment is out of the question for now. I kept asking him where are the food he promised to make and he's like I don't have my own kitchen now lol.

He's kinna tricky compared to other guys because he likes very specific things (as in specific brands or models). Some of things he want are out of my budget (like Ipad pro), even he himself that earns more than me need to think a few times. Even like wallet and shirts, stuff like that he also quite particular... I did gift him Uniqlo before but those are like for normal occasions.

Other special stuff I did gift him Pokemon related stuff before because he loves Pokemon. Other than that... Well hard to think of... It's much easier to gift him non products like cooking class or short trip or events.

Girls are so much easier like you can gift them bags, lipsticks, accessories, plushies, flowers... Ya' know those things doen't hurt your wallet as much as gadgets.
