Best gifts for your girlfriend: Gift ideas for your number one girl Posted: 06 Nov 2018 02:00 AM PST Getting your girlfriend a gift that she really loves is an awesome feeling. (Nothing like seeing your girl's face light up when she finds out what you got her, amirite?)  But the process of figuring out what gift to get can be a tricky one. You want to end up with a gift that shows your girlfriend how much you care. Duh. But there are *so* many factors that go into picking the right gift, which can sometimes get overwhelming. For example, the length of time you've been together is definitely going to play a role in what gift you get (you don't want to go with something too fancy for someone you've only been seeing a few weeks, but you'll probably want to step it up for someone you've been seeing for a long time.) There's also the originality factor. You want to avoid getting her something generic, but you also want to make sure you get her something she actually likes. (Just because she's a cat person does not mean she wants that cat onesie you saw online. Or maybe she does — in that case, go here.)  Don't fret. To make your decision process a *whole* lot easier, we've compiled a list of the best gifts for girlfriends that are sure to help you nail the gifting game no matter what.
