    A gift doesn't always have to be something that is giftwrapped with a ribbon on top. A "I love new york" t shirt is nice but it seems more like a souvenir that you can get at anytime.

    I live close to NYC and used to live there too and still go to NYC to hang out. My suggestion is that you can start her birthday off by renting a rowboat by the boathouse (Central Park) and row her across the lake. It's romantic and is open daily until 5:30pm till Oct. 31

    It's $10 per hour.

    Next, take her to dinner at her favorite restaurant in the city (my favorite restaurant is Olive Garden in Time Square). After dinner, treat her to a movie she would like to see and sit through it. I'm into chick flicks, so I want to see something like "Sex and the City".

    Hope this helps!

    Not a cute idea....sorry. Be more creative. She'll appreciate the thought and time that you put into your gift decision. An "I love New York" t-shirt would be a great idea for a visiting friend or a child, but not a girlfriend.

    I think it's a cute idea. Does she wear T-shirts? You have to decide if this is enough of a gift for her birthday. You could include some sort of gift card or take her out to dinner.

    Happy Birthday to Her.

    Why don't you get her something that will last? Every birthday means she is getting older! So, why don’t you “immortalize” her by getting a really cool-looking portrait made from her best photo? Just send the photo(s) to the professional and creative artists at http://www.paintyourlife.com/ and they will make very unique and classical-looking portraits or paintings out of them! You can send them instructions to send the portrait directly to her – with a personalized message from you! The same company also makes wonderful photo prints on canvas in various designs.

    Sorry but it sounds kind of cheap! Try a romantic walk by the peers or any other hot spot in NYC (I am a Jersey girl) or take her somewhere you know she`ll enjoy (as a surprise). It`s the thought that counts and a inexpensive romanic outing is a lot more creative than a TEE unless of course your desighning the TEE yourself!

    She may and should appreciate any gift you give her if you can.IF she was a very difficult person to please,she may accept your gift.At the same time she maybe wondering where is the rest.If she is young you may get by,but if she is middle age or older.Be prepared to sleep solo on the couch and that in itself is getting away with murder.Believe me I am not physic but you may encounter problems from that point forward.

    anything! simple is fine but the best gift is love♥ since she is your girlfriend she needs love from you. t-shirt would be nice too (but with your love in it)

    i think something rare for california girl would be nice too!

    i think she will be happy with your gift and write some card that you love her with all your heart.

    as i say, this is just my opinion! so you don't really have to do this stuff!

    say happy birth day to her and wish her a happy life! (and relationship for you two♥)

    Stuff she would be in a position to certainly use yet does not must be fancy. I purely observed some particularly cool summer season tote luggage at Wal-Mart. i could get certainly one of those with a sea coast towel that suits. Then upload a visor, solar demonstrate screen, and a water bottle that has certainly one of those ice issues in the midsection. All at Wal-Mart and in all danger under $20 - $25. for further exciting you ought to upload a modern trash/gossip mag that she ought to like and positively one of those little hand held very own followers. on the grounds that she's your discern's buddy, i could upload some greater little issues like a container of the flavored drink mixes that go into water bottles and a pair of luggage of snacks. Then upload a cute card from all of you!! The greenback Tree is an incredible shop for summer season stuff. you ought to get the bag and towel at Wal-Mart and fill it with stuff from greenback Tree. each thing particularly is a greenback there so this is undemanding to funds for a modern. additionally they have very cool present luggage and sacks for a greenback too. whilst you at the instant are not careful you ought to spend yet another $5 or $6 on the wrapping. Now, i'm going to pass directly to a distinctive suggestion in the previous you start to think of that i'm advertising for the shop. yet another comparable concept is to get certainly one of those rolling comfortable sided coolers and fill it with comparable exciting stuff. It relies upon on your funds yet carry on with a genuine greenback shop for the extras. in case you do the cooler, you ought to get a set of melamine summer season plates , cups and a tumbler and upload it to the cooler too. Any blend of that summer season stuff is an incredible concept. i recently won a doorprize that become a solar-tea form of jug/pitcher and interior it had numerous distinctive bins of flavored teas like rasberry, lemon, and so on. desire you like the suggestions. July 4th is bobbing up and it ought to are available reachable for that weekend. you ought to even use the pink/white/blue subject for the wrapping paper. If not, use shiny colorings that choose the colors in the bag and towel.
