Budget?

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

What types of things does your GF like? Comeon man we are trying to help you and you aren't giving us anything.

Even better, buy her a g-string and nipple tassels and then get her to strip down and then put them on. Then throw the money over her while she dances for you. Women seem to really love that.

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
 

Balloons or a puppy. Birds love balloons.

Or something she can bring to work to show off to the other girls, something that says, "my bf cares.. wtf does your bf do for you?"

Edible arrangements are always good too. Check out their website.

Toms (the shoes) if she's into that kind of style.

Surprise her at work just to say "Hi!" Or bring her lunch.

I'll do what I can to help ya'll. But, the game's out there, and it's play or get played.
 

Give her the gift that keeps on giving. I will give you a clue....

His budget is $250ish, don't think you can get 14k gold jewelry anymore, and purses for that range is only Coach. But think that budget can still get some kick ass sunglasses, or some shoes.

300ish I'm sure you can find a nice piece of jewelry assuming she isn't high maintenance expecting a big deal.

Here to learn and hopefully pass on some knowledge as well. SB if I helped.

street view is also bullish on TIF long term...

 

Have been dating the same girl for nearly 4 years and struggled with this for a while. Before you break into the ~expensive stuff it can be hard. This is where being thoughtful can come in big and get you a ton of brownie points while saving you some serious $$. Going forward, keep a list in your notes of things she says she wants. My gf loves shopping but would never actually buy a lot of the things she wants. She always verbalizes things between $100-$300 that she wants but wont buy herself. These are perfect gifts and your gf will be impressed that you remembered something that she potentially brought up months ago. Another good place to start if your gf doesn't verbalize what she wants is Swarovski. Because its crystal and not diamond these are relatively cheap. Can find some nice items for ~300 and they look really good. If she is super high maintenance and needs high dollar value items than good luck and I cannot help.

P.S. might just be a me issue but because I am so busy with work I usually do not book things myself. I let her book it and choose where we eat. If you plan a full night for your gf they do really appreciate it. There are always super materialistic girls but making your gf feel seen/loved will get you further than any gift (unless you throwin stacks).

 

They don't listen to all of them all are just pervy, I think your booth has a nice picture together, just get it illustrated and get it printed on the cup, mug, t-shirt, mobile cover custom popsockets,  Birthday Koozies, a card or even get that photo framed... If you listen to these pervy people, then you may lose her, because she may have expected something nice and special, instead of this pervy stuff... and throw a surprise party for her. eventually she will love this and you know what can happen next...
