All of her special days fall right on top of each other (Christmas then V-Day then birthday in March) and I'm not sure what to get her for her birthday...For Christmas, I did jewelry and Broadway tickets. For Valentine's I did jewelry (again) and day spa...and flowers (yeah, I know I tend to go a little overboard).So my question is - what now? I could definitely go with jewelry again - I seem to be doing well so far with that because she never takes off the stuff I bought. But I'm starting to feel kind of repetitive. If it was more spread out, I probably wouldn't be concerned about it...but it's essentially three months in a row.So what do you think? Does getting jewelry get old? Should I be thinking in a different direction? I already know we're going out that night...so that's covered (probably doing Broadway again at her request also) - just wondering what else I could do...Thanks.

I think you dont have to impress your GF bye constantly buying her gold, flowers jewelry exc.. Get her something funny or nice or random! For example, I got my gf jewelry and little things, i didnt want to keep giving her jewelry, thought it was just kinda lame and expected. So Instead I took her too a nice dinner place and I bought her a shake weight! It was the funniest thing ever! She loved it couldnt stop laughing! I also got her this penis shaped lollipop and just the most random funny stuff from spencer s!!! It was a risk but I knew my gf and i knew shed think its funny and like whatever I got her. OOOOOO I also got her this funny book that had like coupons in it (mostly sexual ones) but some where like a massage, foot rub exc... She really liked it and sooo did I!! lolIm not saying do that. and idk how close you two are.But I mean doing the same stuff is kinda old. I was really close with my gf so I was comfortable and knew her well enough to do that. haha It is the thought that counts!Good luck!

So pair something like this along with a voucher for her fav shop, make up , perfume , tickets to a concert , a phone or ipod or something along those lines ! just make sure to add a personal touch , and to be honest im not sure the jewellery would be a good idea once again , try something original :) hope i helped !

 Honey Jewelery never gets old. And you are a GEM...flowers and day spa? Woo-hoo..
is it a BIG birthday (a zero or a 5 ending are big ones for me as are ones ending in 9)
or is it a "placeholder" birthday?
dinner out and some nice earrings for a placeholder birthday....
or you could ask her if she wanted something special....
