    My Girlfriend's Birthday - Present suggestion

    Hi all

    Its my girlfriend's birthday at the end of the week. We've been going out now for 3 months. Its also been a bit tough at work for her, so I want to cheer her up more than anything else. She earns more than me, so can buy the things she wants, so I thought I'd get her something a little more unique. I would appreciate some feedback and suggestions from others as to whether its suitable/too much/not enough/on completely the wrong tangent.

    Thanks

    1. The Card
    Her first language is spanish. Whereas I know none, she knows I'm going to learn. I thought I'd write a short message to her in the card in spanish.
    2. Breakfast
    She hardly has anything for breakfast, but I thought I'd get some fruit salad, filter coffee and the like and go round to hers first thing and put it together for her. I'd then walk her to work.
    3. Spider Catcher
    A bit odd, but when she chased after a spider it was the only time I've heard her squeal, but also the first time she told me she loved me (she did it first).
    4. Wooden Cow
    She says they're her favourite animal, its handmade, but I'm going to attach magnets and make it a fridge magnet.

    I still think there's something missing, but I'm not sure. I don't want to kill her with kindness, but I'd like to make it at least a little bit different and not too intense given we've been together for only 3 months.

    I'd appreciate feedback

    Thanks

    I would drop the spider catch and the cow, and get flowers instead. Have you ever gotten her flowers before?

    No, do not drop the spider catcher. That's cool, personal, and kind of funny. I like the cow, too. Now you need to make her breakfast in bed and you're all set.

    Nevermind, flowers are not a good idea. Two weeks in a row is WAY too much.
