Half an year ago I met the lovely and sweet girl that is my girlfriend, we shared affections and even small gifts together. But it's my first relationship as a 25 years old man and since her birthday is coming up in less than a week I intend to not disappoint her, showing her my affections. What would be a great first birthday gift as a couple? Something that is going to be of use for her, something that is not a small gimmick.She has no hobbies apart from studying, she is 3 years younger than me.I was planning to suprise her with a small tiramisù (a small terrine for the two of us) topped with lit candles, and for a gift I thought maybe I could buy her pure cotton panties, since she has only cheap clothes. Would that be weird or uncomfortable to use as a first gift? What else do you anons suggest I buy instead?
Love the idea of the tiramisu. Maybe not the panties imo.What about a framed photo of you two together with a card expressing affirmations of love/excitement and encouragement in her studies?
>>35062076>Love the idea of the tiramisuthank you>What about a framed photo of you two togetherTaking photos of us sounds like a great idea, I have an instant camera with which I took photos of her and she took photos of me, but she lost the wallet where the souvenir photo of me was stored, she felt really bad when it happened especially for the photos. So I could make a list of photos ideas that she can choose to take together on her birthday.>a card expressing affirmations of love/excitement and encouragement in her studiesNo gimmicks, please, of course I will make a birthday card though.Could you elaborate more on why not the panties?
>>35062029>for a gift I thought maybe I could buy her pure cotton pantiesthat's sounds like a terrible idea but i've never had a girlfriend so you decide if my opinion is worth listening in this matter or no
Do not buy the panties im a girl and i would just be weirded out.Tiramisu is a really good idea that every one would like.instead of panties u could maybe but some other form of clothing (cute skirt,t-shirt,jeans).DO NOT BUY HER UNDERWEAR.U could also go for like plushie as a girl that stereotype of plushies being good gifts for girls is true maybe a perfume,framed picture of u two,cute bag,a book or manga she might like,if u know her fav album record... those are some of the things i could think of that would be much better.also add a cute wrriten note or card to the gift and pack it well.
>>35062444>that's sounds like a terrible idea but i've never had a girlfriend so you decideI'm not buying panties out of the blue, I would buy them for her because she hasn't been able to find good quality underwear, she told me, so I know that's something she would gladly use if they are the correct size (which is the biggest problem to figure out before buying them and the reason I think I'm going to pass on the idea).>>35064712>Do not buy the panties im a girl and i would just be weirded out.Yeah because you are not my gf... you anons sound single>but some other form of clothing (cute skirt,t-shirt,jeans) [...] plushies being good gifts for girls is true maybe a perfume,framed picture of u two, cute bag,a book or manga she might likeWhen I said no gimmicks I meant this, I won't bother her with low quality "gift" that are going to fill space (although a book on something she is exploring would be great, nevertheless she has no current hobbies), I want something that lasts and with great functionality. I think the skirt/dress would be a good idea in the future but we would have to find it together so that we could see how it fits, it's not possible.>add a cute wrriten note or card to the gift and pack it well.That's good advice many take for granted, thank you, I will.You guys inspired me to go search a quality olive wood spoon: she loved using my kitchen utensil before, and she would appreciate having one of her own.
>>35064831Yes 100% the spoon. Then spoon her lolNo but i said no to the panties because that's something i would want to buy myself. Maybe receiving lingerie would be better but in your case that might weird her out Stick with the spoon
I'm writing a list of photos ideas she can make.
>>35062029>having to buy gifts to his girl to "show his affection", having to "prove his love and worth"Lol what a mug
>>35065689>Buying a gift for someone's birthday is le bad o algo
>>35065754I mean, it's the intention that matters, to be fair
>>35065759I don't want it to be expensive, although I want it to be useful.
>>35065842Does it really have to be useful though? It's the gesture that matters
>>35065848It could also, be fun and unique.
>>35065906So what are you giving her? I think there's lots of fun presents on sites like Temu or Shine
Here's a small update:- my thoughtful mother gave me her tiramisù recipe and helped me gather all of the ingredients for the journey to my girlfriend, as she's living in another country. Everything that's difficult to buy has been packed in a ready-to-use kit;- under the kit sits the box which I will use to contain the kit, it has been recycled from a delivery box and the next step is to cover the brand, I was thinking with a colored paper.
>>35068847What's the gift? You may ask.It's a a combo of 20 instax photo films!Well, she has lost the image she kept of me, therefore it would be cute if she could make another one with my camera, and she can choose to use them howerever she pleases.To feed her ideas I put a cardboard separator inside the box so that on the right will sit that piece of yellow paper which is going to be a small manual of photo ideas. Maybe she can use my hair as mustache or pose in the city monuments.Her birthday is in 3 days, I still have work left to complete.
>>35068870We have the same birthday!
>>35062029If you do the panties, include it in a box with other self care things. Her birthday is about her and what she likes. Maybe some flowers that you know she adores and a card with a cute reference to something you guys have done. I’m a girl and I think panties could be acceptable if it was paired with maybe like a couple of facemasks, maybe a Sephora gift card, a small Lego set if she’s into that
Done for tonight. It misses the text: I would add a drawing of a camera outside the box and a ficticious brand name, her adress written on the sides. I always like play-pretend.
>>35068973Inside I taped a small frame-like in azure paper, like those not in vogue anymore photo albums, where I will write a small personal card with some ambiguity left on what this all connects to.
>>35062029>maybe I could buy her pure cotton panties,This is you telling her you think she has a yeast infection. It's impossible for us to recommend a present for her, because we don't know her. The best gifts are usually something that has a special significance, either to her or to both of you, that it wouldn't have to someone else. For example, my partner is very tactile and loves cuddling. I used to call her a "cuddle monster". She got very into that, to the extent of growling and pouncing on me, with me going "Aarrgghh! Cuddle monster attack!". So one time I got her a custom T-shirt that says "Insatiable Cuddle Monster!" in large letters. She loved it. Most women wouldn't have; but to her, it had some significance that it wouldn't have had to others.Or, another example: on our first date, my girlfriend (different person from my partner, I'm poly) was very nervous and didn't say much. We were walking beside a river, and I filled in the silences by telling her autistic facts about cormorants, because there were a lot of them flying about, diving, and drying their wings. (Cormorants are interesting: they can be trained to catch fish for humans, and they can count at least as high as eight). For my next birthday she gave me a card with a picture of a cormorant that she had painted herself. That was something that had special significance to me: a sort of memorial to our first date, and something that she had put a lot of effort into, to show how important meeting me had been to her.Third example: one of my (now) exes was originally from Ireland and used to grumble that there were some Irish things you couldn't buy here. For example, her favourite brand of crisps (potato chips) wasn't sold outside Ireland. So (one time while we were still together) I got in contact with the factory that makes that brand of crisps and managed to get them to send me a box of 24 packs by mail order. She was very pleased.That's the sort of thing you want to be thinking about.
>>35062029where'd you meet her? almost ur age and unlucky with love so far
>>35070954I arrived to her, I will tell tomorrow, I'm going to sleep.
>>35072563>arrived to her>I will tell tomorrow You're South Asian, aren't you anon? Don't worry, I'm Indian too. :)Be honest. No need to lie on an anonymous forum. What's your ethnicity?
>>35072854why r u hatin on my boy bro...just cuz he has a gf?
OP here,We've been staying too much time together, I just want to finish the gift.>>35070954We've met in a student exchange treasure hunt in my university, she came in my country for Erasmus. I won't share more because I wonder how much OSINT you could gather from my posts, but I initiated all approach and dates. If it wasn't her I would have ended up with someone in my parish most probably.I've done four cold approaches in my life, this was a warm one, I believe the best place to find your woman is in a group environment like it.>>35069001Thank you for the advice (you could have omitted the polyamourous part, that's disgusting).>>35072866I'm European and I hate Indians, Arabs and niggers, I denounce racemixing with shitskins. Your race also shits up the boards, it would have been a grace if it followed chinese internet policy.
Will update later
>>35075206>you could have omitted the polyamourous part,I could, but then if I refer to "my partner" and "my girlfriend" I get accused of being a larping incel who can't keep track of which he is claiming to have. So I have to explain that they're two different people. *shrug*
>>35062029If you have to ask 4chan then someone like you would be better off not getting her anything at all because if you have to ask us then that’s basically what you’re doing. Getting her nothing.
OP here, I'm ending this thread.I made tiramisù while I forced her to be in another room, when the time of dinner came and we ate together I took out the birthday tiramisu and lighted on the candles, I turned off the lights and wished her happy birthday. Then as she cut the tiramisu I brought the gift, after opening it she was soon ready to take photos and decided to want me with the tiramisu I made for her.Thank you anons, next year I will get the measure of her underwear.>>35077915Asking does give me ideas and explaining what I have in mind helps me concretise it. One of the poster made me settle on the photo films idea.>>35077888I see, it would sound cuckish
>>35082226Did you know your sweet girlfriend takes miles of dick behind your back? Central Euro women like your gf are whores - she will wear your underwear and do porn. Google Czech porn. Maybe you'll find your whore there getting assfucked by Mehmet & his friends
>>35062029show me the panties you will get her you cuck
>>35075206>I'm European and I hate Indians, Arabs and niggers, I denounce racemixing with shitskinsWell. That escalated quickly
