It is Christmas once again and it is time to get your special someone another special gift. If you are anything like me, you will want your present to be unique, but best of all, something better than what she will give you.

The best way to accomplish this sometimes impossible goal is to take a moment and think back to all the conversations you had with her recently. Did she mention something she wanted? Did she point out something she wished she had or needed? If the answer is yes, then you are pretty much set for what you will get her.

If the last strategy didn't work, then use technology to your advantage. There are numerous web sites out there that will make your gift search much simpler for you. All they need to know is what type of girl your girlfriend is. A website that makes this very simple by offering numerous personality categories such as The Super Mom, The Achiever, The Hipster, The Domestic Diva, or The Trendanista is Gifts.com. If you can't even figure out what type of personality fits your girlfriend, the site even gives you the option to take a short questionnaire and proceeds to choose for you what type of personality your girlfriend fits based on your answers.

Although Gifts.com is a great web site, sometimes its catalog might not have anything that feels "right". In that case, below are a list of great sites that I have found, which offer large selections, unique gifts, and great service.

www.thinkgeek.com This site offers a large selection of products for the "geeky" type of girl, or just a girl that loves her nerdy boyfriend. If not for that, just a love for technology or weird stuff will suffice.

www.redenvelope.com In addition to this web site's great selection of jewelry, clothes, decorations, and other things women love, the packaging from them alone makes it worth giving a gift from them just once.

www.uncommongoods.com This web site offers the largest selection of unique gifts I have found as of yet online. The products might be a bit pricey (as with any site that offers unique products) but they are truly unique. Even if you aren't going to get something for your girlfriend from here, you will find something you will love in this site.

If none of these sites help you, I will leave you with a few parting ideas. Take her to a concert, comedy show, or theater (www.stubhub.com. Get her something expensive and electronic that you can both enjoy (www.newegg.com. Buy her a great painting (www.allposters.com. Or just go for the brands (www.saks.com. In a last minute scenario, a subscription to Netflix can never be a bad thing right?
