Use Christmas to put the focus squarely on your girlfriend and make it all about her.
Choose gifts that are based on pampering, on her favorite hobby or sport, or to bring some excitement into her life.
You know your girlfriend spends too much time thinking about you and your happiness, so now you can show her how much you think of her too.
Spa or Salon Certificate: Give her the gift of luxury. It could be a full day treatment or just a facial – whatever you can afford. No woman can resist a good pampering session.
Pampering Basket: Speaking of pampering, why not give her a basket spilling over with goodies like moisturizers, shower gels, loofah gloves, face masks, hair treatments, everything she needs for a relaxing and rejuvenating home spa treatment.
Complete the gift by adding a voucher for a personal massage from yourself.

Music: Your girlfriend may already have some kind of iPod.
Why not buy her a bedside set of speakers to use with it, and add a disc of soothing or sexy music you’ve downloaded that you can load on for her.

Digital video recorder: Buy a compact, cute looking recorder. Pre record a short message from yourself wishing her a Merry Christmas, telling her you are looking forward to celebrating Christmas with her every year and that you love her very much.
Just put a note in the card or sticker on the lens telling her to play the message before she gets all excited and records over it!

Perfume: Young woman can get away with playful, floral scents. Either give her a large bottle of the perfume she already wears. Or better still; choose a more up market brand than she usually buys for something special. Try Lovely Perfume by Sarah Jessica Parker, Red Door Perfume by Elizabeth Arden, White Diamonds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor, Daisy Perfume by Marc Jacobs, or Blue Perfume by Dolce & Gabbana.

Scarf: Girls love accessories, and a scarf or wrap is a versatile item to have. As always look for quality, well designed pieces.
If you can’t afford an original Pashmina shawl, then at least buy a good copy in a lovely color.
Silks, wool, linen, organic cotton are all good choices for scarves. It’s a great way to introduce color into an outfit.
Check her wardrobe for the types of colors and patterns she likes and look for something similar or complementary.
Gifts Circle have a luxuious range of scarves and accessories.
This Christmas you can take 10% off cashmere Shawls. Make sure you use discount code DSC200501.
Boxes: It’s always handy to have somewhere to stow things away – you can choose from something small and elegant for keeping jewelry safe, or large and trendy for sitting on and storing stuff.
Adventure: Why not give her a voucher for a hot air balloon ride, a parachute jump, white water rafting or some other, exciting experience that she'll never forget.
Lingerie: Choose a set of sophisticated and elegant lingerie.
This should be something she can wear to work or anytime. Keep the trashy stuff for another time.
The idea here is to buy quality that will make her feel great.
