Christmas/ Hannukah Gift

So I have bought 2 watches this year. A Speedy Pro and a Sub C Date. I feel the need to buy my girlfriend something nicer this year for the Holidays. Was thinking a Yurman bracelet would suffice. Any suggestions after the 2 big purchases I had? And no, a Rolex isn't in the cards for her yet. haha

How long have you two been dating?

Giving her something cause "you need to" rather than from the heart make the gift meaningless IMHO.

But anyway, get her a purse or a pair of Valentinos.

1) so, she's a she. (fair enough)

2) no budget, but not a rolex ($5k max?)

3) feeling the need to buy (ok)

4) something to suffice.... (Mmmmm?)

so, judging by the info... she's a 24yr old gemini born in the Rhode Island area. loves Gilmore Girls and is a size 6.5 shoe....

this is clearly a guilt gift to keep her parents, friends and your bros from thinking you're just using her... i'd say send her and her mom/bestie to Vegas for 3 nights.

mazel tov!

she'll love you're thinking of her and her friends fun before yours for a change.

Would vote for Yurman bracelet or Cartier love bracelet if you're looking to spend more.

My ex is from South Carolina and this is accurate beyond words.

As for the gift... a nice handbag is never a bad idea. They last forever and are often used.

I'm with Crystal on the handbag idea. Of course, my wife loves handbags (as opposed to shoes) so I'm biased.

ADD NOTE: Don't forget the matching wallet if you go with the handbag suggestion.

Or he can get a LV Neverfull and he can kill two birds with one stone as the pouch is included!

Win Win. But seriously OP, sounds like this girl is still in the may or may not be "the one" camp - I wasted huge amounts of money on girls that weren't "the one"

Pass by a local jewelry center and get her a decent pair of diamond studs. You could get something really nice (Not GIA) for less than say $500

I know Michael Kors rose gold watches are all the rage with younger ladies and I was looking at some online and just discovered there are MK replicas as well!
