Howdy, guys and gals. Help meh out, pls? My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost two years, and I'm not sure what I want to get her for our anniversary.
A bit of background:
-I'm 18, but it's a pretty serious relationship. It's not like we're trying to get married or anything right now - just taking things as they come - but it's also not an on-again, off-again fling.
-For our whole first year, we decided that our gifts shouldn't be worth much monetarily, and that worked out great. But we also mutually wanted to get each other nice things, so for Christmas last year she got me an iTouch that was ~$150 and I got her a silver, $150 Tiffany ring that I knew she'd been wanting. For her birthday last December, I got her some killer silver owl earrings that cost around $60 (seems like lots of women love owls, for whatever reason? if so, she's no exception to that rule at all), and for my birthday this February she got me a few nice Polo shirts and some shorts worth a good $120 or so. It's not a one-up each other thing, but I'm basically giving examples on a price range of $50 to around $200 at the highest bit.
-I'm getting her a couple of sentimental gifts, one's related to a complicated inside joke and the other's a bunch of roses because it's sort of a tradition for a couple of reasons, and she loves roses. I'm looking for help on a cool gift that doesn't necessarily have a lot of "meaning" but that she would be really happy with. Think interesting jewelry or clothing, maybe - I know most of her sizes, and the ones I don't know I could probably get from her roommate.
Our anniversary's September 1st, so I'll have to shop around and decide pretty soon. Thanks for the suggestions!
