OK, so I need some help on what to get my girlfriend for christmas. Here’s a little background info to help out:
We have been together since February of 2002. She is very heavy into theatre (it’s her major,) but I’m iffy about getting something realted to that because she is kinda picky about her theatre. I don’t want to get her a couple soundtracks to broadway shows she hates. Clothes are the old standby, but I’m not entirely sure what she would like. Jeweley would be nice, but again, not sure what she would like (well, she said she doesn’t ever want to get a ring from me unless it has a diamond in it) Also, jeweley can be expensive, and I’m a Poor College Student[sup]TM[/sup]
Well, if she’s a theatre buff then perhaps tickets to a show?
If you’re going for something guaranteed to be a hit, jewelry is almost always well received–and it doesn’t have to be a ring. You don’t say how much you’re able to spend, but you could probably find a nice bracelet or necklace for under $100. Is there a stone you know she likes (besides diamonds, that is)? A lot of the semi-precious ones are quite reasonable but still very pretty.
Many theatrical majors seem to like really funky jewellry. Neat doesn’t always mean expensive - glass beads and silver don’t usually cost much.
Hmmm.
August’s birthstone is traditionally peridot (my grandmother’s birthstone too), which usually ranges from a really pretty pale spring green to dirty olive. It is usually classed in the semi-precious range, and shouldn’t be that pricey.
Of course, I buy peridot beads. About ummm $15 to $20 CDN for a 16 inch strand of two to three millimetre beads, similar for three to four millimetre pebbles. No clue what they run faceted, but they shouldn’t cost that much.
And peridot looks better with silver anyways, IMHO.
