something besides flowers?

need a quick, easy suggestion for a quick thank you for a girl. Already got her flowers, thinking of an alternative here.....

Something along the lines of chocolates, etc.....just something simple, but shows that I appreciate her.

Girl you like, kinda like, hope to hump, or strictly friends?

Check if she likes chocolates, so people are allergic to nuts, cocoa, and some just don't like it.

If she's one of those women who wears Bath and Body Works type stuff, pick up a gift card and stick it with the flowers.

hmm, wndrlst is lurking here, maybe she'll have an idea.


But if she's more than a friend, maybe this is a good time to slip in the "hey, how about dinner" into the mix.

You might want to give us a bit of background about your relationship with her. Is she a close friend or someone you are starting to date?

Gals enjoy getting pampered so maybe a couple hours at a day-spa (massage, facial, nails, etc.).

Dude, you got one foot on the friends ladder, better make the jump while you still can.

Mmm... Some girls can see a gift card as something you didn't really want to put a lot of thought into.

I put a lot of thought into it before deciding on the Victoria's Secret gift card...
But seriously, that's why a nice Thank You card, along with a gift card to a store that she likes...which hopefully includes Victoria's Secret... (for the fragrances and lotions, of course).

Every girl likes Victoria's Secret.

Other good gift choices could be something that she has mentioned before that she wants... like a movie, a cd, something like that, or to a store that you know she likes. It shows you listen.

How about a nice bottle of wine? There's always a chance she'll ask you to share...

I agree with the gift card or bottle of wine idea. Since you said she's more than a friend though, you can always surprise her with a picnic somewhere alone w/ the bottle of wine as well.

Are you crafty? Make something for her, be sentimental.

the best small great idea is to make a mixed CD that has songs that remind you two of each other, songs from when you guys first started dating, and some that are just fitting for the two of you currently. This shows originality, thoughtfulness, and it works on many levels. She will love it. And its cheap!!
