My birthday was a few weeks ago, and she got me some Teva's(Like Chacos) and a new pair of casual shoes. I think the Tevas were around $50, and the shoes were also like $50. So I'm cool with spending 100-150 or so.

She doesn't have many hobbies...this is damn hard. She's super picky and I'm afraid she'll hate whatever I get her. My 2 things I'm thinking of is a smaller Michael Kors purse...or a Tiffany's necklace/jewlery. I know she likes Tiffany's, and she mentioned months ago about getting a new purse for herself, but she never did.

We've only been dating for 6 months, so IDK what to do. This is hard. I hate getting gifts.

Also, inb4 GET HER THE D

Here would be the perfect opportunity to get her a Gift Certificate from a store you know she likes in however much you feel is appropriate. Get her a bouquet of flowers, have the GC in there.

If she kinda gives you a cross eyed look about it, just be like, "I know you were mentioning needing a new purse. I'd hate to assume what you'd want though, so I figured with this you'll go get whatever you like. I can take you now if you want"

If she's gonna be a bitch about THAT, maybe she doesn't deserve a damn thing.

Gift cards are a cop out. I don't even give them to my worst enemies.

Lol the thing I see weird about a gift card is youre basically saying I am willing to spend this specific amount of money on you. At that point you may as well just take her shopping and pay for the stuff

How are they a cop out? It is an excuse for her to go out and get herself something she wants, and it shows you pay attention and know where she wants to shop and what amount of money is good for that.

Perhaps I'm just more pragmatic, but I'd rather someone give me a gift certificate so I can go out and buy myself something than you just assuming you know what I want.

IMO, gifts aren't about the actual item they receive. They're about putting in effort to figure out something they'd like and enjoy. Spending the time to shop for a gift is where you're proving your love or whatever.

Gift cards make you look like a lazy ass who doesn't care. Most of society agrees with this. You give gift cards to people you're not that close to, like coworkers.

Why put in the effort when YOU aren't the one it is for? For all you currently know now, there is a purse she would MUCH rather have than the one that was pointed out. Why get her something instead of allowing her the opportunity to decide what she really wants at that second?

She tells you about an article of clothing she likes... what if her size isn't exactly right for that store? What if you buy her an 8 because she's always an 8, but that stores 8 is bigger? Now she has to go through a bunch of bullshit to go exchange it because of some shit nobody can anticipate.

I do tend to agree that just taking her to the actual store and being like, "I know you wanted to get a purse. Find one you like, it's on me" is a better option though.

Ask one of her friends to find out what purse she wants. Or just go with the Tiffany's thing.
