In about 3 weeks I celebrate my 2 year anniversary with my girlfriend.

The problem is, for the last several months, I have been looking around, but alas, have not found anything. Sure, you may think that I'm not looking far enough. The truth is, I don't want to give anything that similar to something I gave her before (ie, giving her a crystal duckling when I already gave her a crystal teddy bear of the same brand)

So far, I've given her a watch, a amethyst crystal with a dolphin on it, dolphin earrings, a mini-backpack (chinese girls love those), a crystal teddy bear, clothing, and a statue of a "Precious Moments Birthday Angel".

Simply put, she loves things that shine, things that are cute, and anything that has a dolphin on it. What I DON'T want to do is get her anything similar to what I gave her already. I need something new that she will like, but doesn't already have.

Suggestions? (tick tock tick tock.........)

Have you tried something nice like a dolphin bracelet or something along those lines? Women love jewelry.. I bet she'd love a nice ring, too... like an amethyst, or a topaz...

I've seen a dolphin bracelet in a store, that thing costs about $200.

As for jewellry, I'm not really thinking of that right now.

Disney stuff usually works with girls. Or Anime stuff, if she's into that (as many Asians are).

Thought about a giant stuffed dolphin? I gave a very good female friend (not gf) a big stuffed horse (she really likes horses), and she loved it. A suggestion for another occasion: learn to cross-stitch, then get a kit for a pic with dolphins in it and make it for her. You could also forget the dolphins if that's getting repetetive and get something by Thomas Kinkaid. He makes good patterns, but preferably something without buildings.

TL, is there a large aquarium in your area, some place where you can take her to go and see real dolphins? Maybe make a day trip of it?

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Well, if you know anybody w/ a boat and a net, just get her... a dolphin! *L*

Okay, Tahna, here's the deal. You buy plane tickets to Alberta and go to Edmonton. Make your way to the west side and enter West Ed. There's daily dolphin shows in the world's largest shopping mall.

OK you could always buy a plane ticket to Monkey Mia - in NW Western Australia - where the dolphins swim around you and you can feed them... - they're wild dolphins to - they swim in from the sea...

OK how about a really cool old book... find an old antique bookshop and get a cool first edition book, and it could have something to do with dolphins... I'm sure there are some classsics out there...

just a suggestion - I'd know I'd love it *grin* *wink, wink* hee hee

Tahna: So she likes anything that's cute, shiny, and has dolphins in it...?
*Looks down*
Two outa three ain't bad, y'know.

Seriously, get her the petrified remains of a polar bear after devouring a certain marine mammal.

Seriously, two years? Congratulations.
Sod the dolphins. Get her a nice bracelet, presented to her over a candlelit meal at the dearest restaurant you can find that's near you. And act like a total gentleman - not saying you're not( ) - but treat her like a queen for days.

Actually, I may be going overboard.
Hang on, it'll only take a week or two for me to float over the North Atlanic. Than we'll go for Option 1.
