Gift Ideas for Girlfriends of All Ages

She is smart, funny and cute. She scolds you when you are being foolish, bosses you around and shows you a way out when you are lost.

She understands you, when you sound silly even to yourself and supports you in your endeavours. Gratify all her efforts and intentions to make this relationship work with gifts for girlfriend. When you are selecting a gift for her, consider these pointers:

1. Age
Age affects the choices while shopping. Select your gift depending if she is a — teen (13 years — 19 years), young adult (20 years — 39 years) or adult (40 years and above).

If she is a teen, keeping the budget factor in mind, the best gift choices would be boxes of chocolates and a small bunch of roses (especially if it is your first girlfriend or a first date with her). Other options maybe perfumes and Eau de Toilette, teddy bears, imitation jewellery like earrings, studs and small pendants, charm bracelets and necklaces, scarves and stoles, travel diaries, bedazzled items and notepads set, etc.
In case she is a young adult, you have to be a little more thoughtful of your choices of gifts for girlfriend. With time, they have matured and so have their tastes. Now that you have a job and can be a little extravagant, go for gifts that are more elaborate.

Personalised gifts (mugs, wall clocks, pendants and necklaces, photo frames, etc.) are an amazing way to express your feelings. Or else, if you feel, you can find appropriate apparels that will compliment her style and looks, then that will be perfect! Hobby gifts like books, music CDs, art and painting sets, etc. are another way to show her that you know her.
With time, one gains knowledge and experience. Your tastes are more elegant, refined and classy. Hence, if you have an adult girlfriend, be cautious of what you gift her.

One wrong move and she will walk out on you and from your life with the same grace that she had entered with. Jewellery like bracelets, elegant necklaces, etc. are definitely a safe bet, but you cannot get away with this every time. Charm her with appropriate clothing accessories matching her style. Do not think about gifting her gift card or certificate. It will ruin the charming image that you worked so hard to create.
2. Occasions
If you think about it, you will have numerous occasions to make her smile. There is no need to wait for a perfect moment.

Some of the occasions like Valentine’s Day, International Woman’s Day, her birthday and your courtship’s anniversary are already marked every year in the calendar for you.

Apart from these, mark your own made-up occasions like ‘I Love You’, ‘I Miss You’, ‘Hugs and Kisses’, ‘You’re Special’, etc. and find an appropriate gift to match the occasion.

Gift her accessories like watches, shoes, clutches and bags or gadgets like laptops, camera, phone, music player, etc. Do not let your budget bear a brunt for your heart’s flares. Keep a grip on it while making your pick so that you may not feel sorry for what you bought for her later.
3. Culture and Community
The culture and community that she hails from will affect your choices of gifts for girlfriend. Her likes, dislikes, preferences, choices, etc. will differ according to her culture and community.

Make sure you do not buy something that may hurt her cultural sentiments. While selecting her gift, consider if she is from a liberal or conservative family or community. If you are in doubt stick with something that is safe, like books (fictions, romance, comedy, etc.), instrumental music, photo frames, flowers, etc.
