writes:So, my now ex-girlfriend and I broke up about four months ago, over some personality quirks of mine and we sort of agreed it would be better for her if the relationship ended. Her birthday is coming up soon and I wanted to get her something nice that says I care about you a lot and you were/are really special to me. I don't, however, want it to say I want you back since she is with a really nice guy. So what could I get her for her birthday that would be appropriate to the situation?

 At most, a card. And nothing too sappy - just something friendly. I did like the giftcard to Starbucks idea. Don't go too crazy, because you don't want to trump her boyfriend. Just sending a nice note on her birthday will show her that you thought of her. Don't do anything that crosses the platonic line - you don't want her boyfriend to feel threatened. Good luck, sweetness!

You don't get her anything at all. If you two have only been broken up for 4-months and you want to get her a gift for her birthday that shows that you still care about her, she will definitely think you want her back. Obviously, you have some intentions if you want to get her a gift such as that. Besides that, regardless of your intentions, the new boyfriend probably wouldn't like it too much. She's in the past, save the money. If you still want to get her something, get her a card with a gift card to Starbucks or something.
