<p>So far I know I want to get her a cool (imo) FSU shirt since she's been asking for one, but I'm otherwise clueless. I usually break up with my girlfriends before Valentine's Day or their birthdays so I haven't had this problem in awhile..</p>
<p>Get her the FSU shirt and a bracelet or necklace as a bonus gift. What’s your budget, how much does the shirt cost?</p>
<p>Something thoughtful, sweet, something that resembles an inside joke. look at t-shirts and hoodies on cafe press 
I’m sure you’ll find something she’ll like.</p>
<p>The shirt is about $22ish after tax (which I think is ridiculously expensive for a small shirt), but a bracelet sounds like a good idea. I was actually thinking about that before. My budget is somewhere around $50.</p>
<p>Birthday sex.</p>
<p>My friend’s boyfriend got her a ridiculously costly bracelet (>$250) for her birthday - like 4 months in advance for her actual birthday after going out for like 1 week. Personally, I would get creeped out (and feel guilty) if a guy spent hundreds of dollars on me. The smallest things mean the most to me anyways =)</p>
<p>Just make sure you don’t end up putting yourself in a situation where you feel compelled to outdo yourself every time you get her a gift.</p>
<p>It’s really the thought that counts. She’s given you an easy out by telling you she wants a t shirt(make sure you buy the right size, not too big). How about a single long stemmed rose?</p>
<p>^^I feel like that too.</p>
<p>^That’d be perfect .</p>
<p>Btw…I wouldn’t go with the bracelet or necklace. cliche.</p>
<p>
You can probably get a dozen red roses at a supermarket for not much more than one will cost you at a nice florist. Just make sure you take off the price tag.</p>
<p>Just one rose is better…not a dozen</p>
<p>For some reason the ladies respond more favorably to a single long stemmed rose rather than a bunch bought from the supermarket. Think it has to do with making the time to go to a florist and selecting a single bud instead of grabbing a bunch of flowers processed in a warehouse and bought where you buy groceries. But hey, if it works for you Hunt…why not?</p>
<p>As long as you don’t leave the supermarket roses in the wrapping from the supermarket, there is no difference between those roses and the one the florist would like you to think is better.</p>
<p>Hunt- Agreed. A rose is a rose is a rose. Sorry had to quote it.</p>
<p>And by any other name, it would smell as sweet.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You mean, birthday-</p>
<p>uh, never mind. :P</p>
<p>Let’s see, for me…a copy of Franny and Zooey. Except I was 2000 miles away at the time and never ended up giving it to her because I didn’t see her for several weeks (we both had summer programs). It’s still in my room…I should give it to her. Hm.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant Birthday Shhh. I was just checking if CC would let me type that alternate phrase.</p>
<p><em>sung</em></p>
<p>Some girls are charmed by prose or flowers by the bunch.
Others prefer a single rose and a nice expensive lunch.
But some you’ll find just decline your suit how e’er it’s carried.
But I have a trick that works time after time,
I’ll never have another thrust parried.</p>
<p>Row, Row, Rohypnol, I’ll take you way upstream.
You’ll only need one sip-nol, the rest of the night is a dream.
All trials and tribulations left bobbing in our wake.
It’ll be such a romantic idyll that you’ll wish you were awake.</p>
<p>Flowers are nice (but get her favorite. Roses are overrated sometimes). ANYTHING homemade is always wonderful :). </p>
<p>Btw: if you really have to ask this question to a bunch of strangers, you may want to evaluate the health of your relationship. You should know what she wants.</p>
<p>Continuing from Hunt:</p>
<p>When everything’s worse, our work is complete.</p>
