Buying something special for someone special has always been a challenge. How do you find a gift that lets your steady know
how you feel about them? You don't want to send out the wrong message with a gift that is "too much" or, even worse, "too little."
This is not to suggest that you have to spend a lot of money - the most meaningful gifts always come from the heart - but
rather to point out that the gift should reflect the depth of the relationship. For a new relationship, something fun and flirty is best,
for a more serious relationship something reflective and chosen according to a shared history is in order. We have assembled
ten items that are sure to make your significant other smile; now it is up to you to decide which one of the ten fits best!

1) Claddagh Ring
This traditional irish "friendship" ring is the perfect gift if you are in a serious relationship. The rich tradition of the ring,
and the meaning behind the way it is worn, add to it's charm. The rings can be very simple or more ornate and there is a claddagh
ring to fit every budget. Can be worn by both girls and guys. Find out all about the history and meaning of the claddagh ring.

2) Perfume
Sure, it's cliche, but perfume is not the generic gift that many people think it is. The perfume you choose should reflect your
partner's personality and can make a bold statement about how well you really know them. Be daring and pick out something
new, or play it safe and buy a bottle of her signature scent. Either way, the gift is sure to go over well, and there is something
for every budget. We especially like Thierry Mugler's ANGEL
and Givenchy's HOT COUTURE.

3) Shoes by SKECHERS
That's right... shoes! Skechers are the coolest and trendiest brand of shoes to hit the market in years, and they are available
in a wide variety of styles and prices. Choose something simple, like the white canvas Lollipops or something
with a little bit of funky pizazz, like the Noogies Sling,
then take her out for a wild night of dancing. These shoes are stylish, comfortable, and guaranteed to please.

4) A French Manicure
Spoil her for less than $10 with this unique gift idea... a salon quality french manicure done by you! Don't worry, there
is no need to rush out to beauty school, with the many user friendly home manicure products on the market you can give her
a stylish new set of nails in less than an hour. Make it relaxing with scented candles, a gentle hand massage
and a cuticle moisturizing treatment.
The time you lavish on pampering her will touch her heart, and endear you to her even more.

5) Flowers & Chocolate
Flowers are a nice gift for a new girlfriend, and when you pair them with chocolates or candies you end up with a sure winner.
OK, so it isn't the most original or inspired gift, but if your relationship is still in the "getting to know you better" phase
the thought is really all that matters. A sweet and traditional gift like this tells her that you are a thoughtful person and
hint of better thing to come.

6) Gourmet Cookies
This gift is best if you bake them yourself, but if you are just
not good in the kitchen there is nothing wrong with buying something really decadent like
Madelines or
anything chocolate dipped.
Show your sweeter side with this uncomplicated gift that you can enjoy together. Throw in a romantic starlight stroll and some hot chocolate
and you can't go wrong!

7) Mystic the Unicorn
Appeal to her inner princess with a TY Beanie unicorn. This collectible toy is cute, cuddly and full of magic - everything
you want her to think about when she thinks of you. Give her something that will remind her of you every time she sees it. We like
the unicorn, but if she has a favorite animal or if you have a more meaningful choice, there are lots of
other beanies available.

8) "The Love and Romance Teen Quiz Book"
Ready to put your relationship to the test? Give her this book of love and romance quizzes just for teens and get ready to
give your answers. Girls love to put their love to the test, and this book is all about doing just that, but in a fun and
constructive way. Something she can do with you and share with her friends.

9) A GO JANE Dress
Beautiful dresses all under $40, the Go Jane line has a dress for every girl (even girls who hate dresses). Match her
personality and fashion sense with one of the dresses on the next page, and top off the gift with a fancy evening out on the
town. Take her out for dinner and dancing in her new duds; this is a gift you will both enjoy.
