Buying gifts for girls is an impossible task, buying gifts for your girlfriend takes impossibility and makes it even more difficult. In some cases nothing you do or buy is right, remember the things she said she wanted is even wrong as she expected it, or knew you were listening so tricked you when she mentioned liking the red shoes that cost 60 that you know she'll only wear once.
The trick to getting her the right present is something that men will never really full comprehend, so what we need to do is stay away from the sure fire failures that will turn her into an ex-gf, as lets be honest, most guys do genuinely love their girlfriends. Sure we have our flaws and on the whore we aren't particularly the princes from the fairy tales (they have ruined being a guy, why won't prince charming go and sod off out of the minds of little girls, who grow up looking for such a guy). Of course with the novel usaage of movies hwere romance is oddly fullly alive, and it appears all guys do it with ease, life becomes yet more difficult.
As I'm not prince charming and in most cases not Mr Right, in fact most guys aren't Mr right, we just need to apply some common sense, use what we know, and try to be inoffensive and considerate. Currently the girl who seems to be stealing my heart has a birthday on Christmas, my god how easy does that make it for me? My birthdays the day before AND I'll only need to get her one presen for birthday/Christmas, there's one bullet dodged, and best yet, if its a poor one I know I have the excuse of "But I had Christmas presents to buy, and my mum and Gran have December Birthdays too". I have a get out if we're together to the end of this year, but by the end of next year I'll have to step it up.
So what to avoid, well anything that you got for a former girlfriend, the biggest no-no, if you got your ex a present and split up, DON'T try to recycle it on the new girl, she'll see right through it. Especially if it's clothes, as not all girls are the same size, of course going from a slim girl to a larger girl would really rub salt into the wound, and some would walk off there and then. So don't be so stupid and don't treat her like an idiot as she's not, if she was you wouldn't want her. She's an indiviual and special, she's unlikely to be a clone of you ex with the same sizes or fashions, so tailor your gifts to her indiviuality, definite brownie points.
Don't get her beauty products unless you know there's a specific one she really likes or talks
