What gifts do girls like?

[Hyperion 144]

Alright, I am now firends with the girl that I like (Props to Amon, you're awesome dude), and her Birthday is comeing up soon. I want to get her a gift, but I don't want to get her something that makes her think I think we're BF and GF. Just something that she'll really like, and I can't think of anything! She loves camo so maybe I could do something like that? Sorry, I didn't have much time to write this so it may be missing alot of things, but I'll be back on tomorrow. See ya!

 

Edit: Alright I want to make things clear: I want to date this girl, I don't want to just be her friend, althought that would be nice. I have very strong feelings for her.

 

Edit 2: I have decided on my gift. Since she loves the marines, I'm going to get her a Builb-a-Bear wearing a U.S. Marine corps uniform

 

Edit 3: She said yes! We're now going out!

the only thing thats important...love

[VisitJoan 2,713]

Well, it depends on the girl.  If all else fails, go with the camo.

[Ruran 481]

Think less "what girls like" and more "what this specific person likes" because gender doesn't have a hive mind. If there's something she really likes and you think you can get it for her than go ahead and get it. 

[Dracozombie 4,554]

Girls like different things because we're different people (shockingly, we're separated by more than tits and vajayjays).  Instead of asking what girls like, ask what she likes, which only you can answer because we don't know her.  Just think about her needs or her hobbies.

[TwiliLord 232]

Get her Kingdom Hearts and a PS2, if necessary. Wins all the girls.

[Caity 3,946]

If she's into games, anime or manga, get her a copy of either a game/dvd/manga

If she acc is into games etsy has a number of handmade gaming apparel that is just epic, like Zelda's kokiri emerald necklaces

There's tons of other stuff on the site that's pretty neat too, just search through it.

If she's like me and likes whiskey, get her a whiskey flask (i just got one )

If you don't wanna make a big fuss you could get her something like a bath set, perfume set, make up set, like default girl items 

Or yano, go with camo stuff.  I don't know what that is to recommend any merchandise anything of it.

Fool. I got my female friend  the most useless machine ever last year. It's a very cool gift and everyone loves it. But also, girls love things you make. Here's a link to a video for the useless machine.

If someone did that for me I'd devote my love to them

'cept I already have them, but the feelings there

[The_eternal_nothing 586]

tell her how u feel and kiss her

[LordOfTheCastle 92]

Like everyone's already said, "girls" don't like anything... only specific people like things. And if you're not dating and you're not absolute best friends, then I would absolutely not suggest getting anything big/expensive. No jewelry or anything. Just something really small and cute, like a camo-colored rubber duck or something equally silly.

 

When I liked my ex before I dated her you know what I got her for her birthday? The cap to a snapple bottle, because she likes clicking the top of it. And she loved it. Just don't come on too strong, keep it light but make sure when she thinks of her birthday, she thinks of you too.

[King Riku 2,063]

It depends on what she's into.

[Weiss 8,279]

It depends on the person. Different people be they male, female or other like different things. Find out what she likes if you don't already and get a gift based on that.

[Exlon 165]

Camo baseball cap maybe? Unless she doesn't dress with hats like those...if all else fails, I've -always- found that getting someone a favorite snack (like, one they don't get often, like Pocky or something) or a bag of their favorite candy (I would be SO happy if someone gave me a bag of Reese's for my birthday) always works.

 

I say a snack or candy's good, 'cause if you know their favorite, it shows you pay attention enough to care, but it's not a "big deal."

 

And I am a girl. I would be happy as a clam if friends just defaulted to my favorite candy instead of wracking their brains and getting something that is way off of what I actually like.

I have a friend that's a girl and she likes guns. Maybe you should get her a gun.

Exlon has the perfect answer. Seriously, you can never go wrong with candy. Well, unless she's diabetic. But if that were me I'd still be overjoyed and eat it

[Paranoia 494]

Get that bitch a cannon. Bitches love cannons.

[Indecypher 495]

Get her a comb, but make sure she didn't sell her hair to get you a gift first.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

Like most people said above, it really depends on the girl.  Some girls are all make-up and jewelry, while some are the tomboy sort and dig video games.  Does she like to read?  Maybe some cool new book release that you think she might be interested in would be a good gift.  You could go the video game route, but only if she actually has shown an interest in video games.  That one seems like a pretty big hit or miss though, so be careful there.

 

I wouldn't go anything personal, such as flowers, jewelry, chocolate, et cetera if she's only a friend.  Just get her something that'd you'd give to any friend and I'm sure you'll do fine.  She'll just be glad you thought of her for her birthday.

Interesting...I will look into this, thanks!

Very good answer right here

[Amon 4,279]

It depends on what she is into. Handbags, jewelry, food (especially if you made it yourself), and clothing are good places to start. If you buy her an article of clothing make sure you know her size. A cell phone case is also a good choice if it's a particularly interesting one (the internet is the best place to look).  These things are a little difficult if you don't really know her style or her interests that well. Go off of whatever you've seen her wearing or using before. 

 

Don't get her anything too expensive unless you two are really close. Just don't get her anything cheap either. Give her something she will actually be able to use and that when she uses it she thinks of you!

Hmm, well she likes camo, I've never seen her have a handbag/purse, so maybe she needs one? Idk would a camo purse look good? I'm not very good at fashion so I wouldn't have a clue.

 

Edit: Do you think it would be weird if I asked her Mom what she likes?

Chocolate is everything you need

 

and giving money is pretty good gift as well

Good idea! Chocolate is always a good thing to put ontop of a present. I'll need a really good kind tho

I don't think it would be weird, only if you've never spoken to the mom before haha.

Only give money/giftcard in addition to another item. Everyone loves it but some people might see it as lazy and it's a pretty forgettable gift, even if they used it to buy something they really wanted. If you want to make an impression on this girl don't just say "Happy Birthday, here's a twenty." If you must do that then write a nice card as well. Just something more personal than money.

Reeeeeeeeeseeee's~

 

But that's just me. I wouldn't bother with fancy or "high-end" chocolate (besides, that sounds more...Valentinesey). Just see if you can squeeze the subject of favorite candy into a conversation. It's really easy, actually. Ask her how she is, she'll say fine, she asks you how you are, and you say fine, but you've been really craving *insert your favorite candy here* Then be like "You know how that is. What's your favorite candy?"
