Or has been the perfect romantic gift for Christmas or anytime. I've bought tons of jewlery in the past. I just want to get something really special. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would say nothing anyone tells you here....a romatic gift is something that has thought behind it. Something you really believe the person will like, showing them you know them, and listen....at least that's romantic to me. I don't want generic jewelry or flowers unless there's something that has meaning to it. Give me a keychain that represents something meaningful from our past...that's better. Just my opinion....

    +1 on this. How did u meet her? Buy something that makes her realize you were thinking of her and not anyone else is worth everything!!

    Yeah, Thanks Black Diamond and Lizard. I've listened and got some nice things for her. I just want to get one perfect gift that pulls on the heart strings for real. Something that makes her feel as special as she is to me. She's dropped hints about things, and I've got all that stuff. But I want that one thing you know. I know its kinda cheating to ask here, but I go to every store and look, waiting for the perfect gift to stand out. I rack my brain about it.

    We've known eachother a long time. Its really an amazing story, to me. Don't know what I could get her that would fit what you are saying. I could totally make a soundtrack of us. And put it in some really nice decortive box. IDk, IDK IDK.

    I want to ask women here, "what was the most touching, romantic gift you ever recieved?" And ask men what the best romantic gift they ever gave was.

    Time.

    Arrange for her to do something that she really loves. Whether that be a lunchdate, getting her hair, nails done, a massage, a facial.

    Time can be a very special gift, especially over the busy holiday season.

    My theme of gifts this year for her was 'things I said I'd get you, but never did.' for me its all these things that we had looked at and passed by.

    maybe you could do something like that?

    Exactly.

    IMO, the best gifts are ones that remind her of something that only you and her shared, or something that only you and her would understand and regard as significant. Think on those terms, and you'll come up with something really good (and probably not expensive at all!)

    The perfect romantic gift shows your woman that you know her well and know what makes her happy.
    No one can help you :)

    Well I love animals...so he arranged for a private viewing of various animals at the zoo. We got to help prepare their food and feed them and view them up close. I also got to hold a baby koala :) That was the most thoughtful and romantic gift he could have given me. This year he saved up like mad to be able to afford a ridiculously expensive plane ticket and 7 weeks off of work so we can spend the holidays together.

    So you know her better than us...get her something that shows you pay attention and just how well you know her. :)

    Damn, that was a cool thoughtful gift. I won't even spoil the moment with any added sarcasm or anything.

    i just got my most thoughtful gift on my birthday which was monday... we had seen an artist at a craft fair in august and we both really liked his work.. so he tracks down the artist, commisions a painting of us. the artist does kinda silly creature drawings.. so it was a fun picture of "us" in a bride and grooms outfit (we are getting married next year).

    it was just really thoughtful and really personal. and i'm the only one in the world to have it :)

    I agree with Box.
    There is a place in New Hampshire that is perfect, especially this time of year:

    I don't know where you live, but this place is about as romantic as it gets. Even in the warmer weather, it is spectacular. And they always have cool packages around the holidays.
    The restaurant is spectacular too.
    :)

    Take her to a lodge with a big, open fire and hold her hand, have some hot toddies and laugh. Go for a sleighride. Or a hike and bring a picnic.
    Picnics are romantic no matter what climate you live in.

    smart man. :)

    I was thinking on similar lines....only things you've shared. I'll give an example - I qualified for and rode in a national horseshow years ago. I was engaged to my ex husband at the time. I completely blew it...fell off (never fell off in a show before, had to do it right at Nationals, nice!). He made dinner plans for us one night not long after I got back. He had decorated the dining room with a "Congratulations" sign and made a show ribbon, labeling it #1 Fiance`. Meant more than flowers or a piece of jewelry.

    Ever give her things like that? Did you save them? put them together in gift box and go through them with her....just to say how much she means to you, how much you've shared through the years....that you haven't forgotten how much your life together means. Just my two cents.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
