My girlfriend and I will have been going out for one year this coming Saturday, and I need help with the gift

I don't want to be predictable with flowers, chocolates or perfume really...I need something special! I hope you don't mind me asking this here, but this is the only forum I could ask this kind of question on

If you could give ideas that would be great

My price range is 30-40 pounds, I'm a bit light in the wallet!

Thank you all

<MrBob> I hate Uni. At least in film studies we get to talk about Fight Club.
<@X-Factor> Wouldnt you be breaking the first 2 rules?

You'd need to tell us a bit about her, what she likes, etc...to get a fair idea of what'd be suitable for her.

£40 budget!? Get a job!

If it was me I'd go for: Dinner and a sentimental gift (i.e. photo frame with a photo of you both) and a simple gift (i.e. necklace, earrings, or a camera, or gig tickets, good amount gift voucher for favourite shop, or a teddy bear etc.).

Flowers are usually appreciated on an anniversary too!

On your budget I'd say you should go with a sentimental gift, flowers and cook her dinner!

Yeah, if you can cook. Don't think she'd appreciate food poisoning.

My friend once printed out some fake certificate saying he'd named a star after his girlfriend, for their anniversary. Now thats what to do if you dont have money!

good luck

If you've been going out for a year it should be easy, you should know what she likes!

I have the main gift already and I do know what she likes, I just wondered what ideas other people had, so I can choose the best things for her

I like Scott's photoframe idea, and flowers seem to be a good idea too, so I will go with that

Thank you all for your help

Roll on Saturday!

And thank you Sharon for writing so much for me, much appreciated

A rabbit.

Not all girls like flowers. My pal, who has no soul and is an empty shell of a woman, hates flowers and plants and thinks that they are pointless. She is however, an empty shell of a woman as stated previously.

I just made one of my pals curry pasta. I'd fall to the knees if a girl made that for me.

A boy once bought me a big massive bag of funsize Smarties. Just because. I'd told him on our first date that Smarties were my favourite and he remembered. Ahhhh.

To me, it's all about getting a gift that is special to her or to you two as a couple. Get something that you've heard her go on about for yonks but she hasn't got, or something sentimental that you think she'd love. I think chocolates and flowers are highly unoriginal and scream "i didn't know what to get you, so went for the generic approach" Obviously she might like that sort of love sick crap. I certainly don't. Personalised gifts are the way forward.

My boyfriend got me a digital camera for our 4yr anniversary, which was perfect for me, i had been wanting one for ages. We did go out to a posh place for dinner aswell, sadly that ruins my "hard as nails" approach to love.
