Gift Ideas for your (Lesbian) Girlfriend

The gift giving season is here (technically every season is a gift giving season).  Time to go shopping for your favorite lesbian, your girlfriend (well I hope that's your favorite lesbian).  She's clammed up and won't answer when you ask her what she wants.  You're panicking and you begin to sweat at the thought of picking out the perfect gift.  That's me right now.  Never fear!  Here are some gift ideas for your special lady. (To be fair these are not gender, sexual orientation, or holiday specific gift ideas.)

For your sports loving girlfriend:  favorite team jersey, tickets to a football/basketball/soccer/softball game (check your closest college or university sports schedule for tickets that are less expensive than professional sports), license plate holder or team sticker for their car

For your music loving girlfriend:  concert tickets, tickets to hear a local band play, iTunes credits, headphones, an acoustic guitar, music lessons, sheet music

For your coffee loving girlfriend:  Keruig, Keruig pods (maybe a sample pack so she can try different flavors), mugs, thermal coffee cups (Starbucks has one you can decorate the insert of the cup that displays on the outside)

For your wine loving girlfriend:  Wine glasses, wine glass charms, bottle stoppers, wine pours, a really nice bottle of wine (duh), a wine of the month club, wine rack, wine cooler, a tasting from a local winery, winery tour

For your food loving girlfriend:  a new set of knives, a new pan, cookbook, fondue pot, cooking classes, a picnic set, dinner and a movie

For your gamer or tech loving girlfriend:  A gaming system, new game, gaming subscription, extra charger for her phone/tablet/laptop etc., a new accessory for her phone/tablet/laptop etc., a game rental subscription, wireless mouse, new mouse pad

For your book loving girlfriend:  A new book, kindle/nook, book credits, bookmarks, bookshelf

For your smoke loving girlfriend:  a new vapor system, vape system accessories, cloves, a new pipe, nice cigar

For your exercise loving girlfriend:  gym bag, water bottle, weights, workout headphones, jump rope, yoga mat, workout towel

For your movie loving girlfriend:  dinner and a movie, movie theater tickets, dvd book, a movie, add a movie to her collection (i.e. does she like gay themed, Christmas, or Alfred Hitchcock movies?  Find a movie she doesn't already own to add to her collection.), Netflix subscription

For your animal loving girlfriend:  Horseback riding lessons, trail ride, framed a picture of her dog/cat/bird/lizard/whatever kind of animal she has, dog biscuit making kit.  On a side note....DO NOT give animals as gifts.  An animal can be a lot of work and will be considered a lifelong member of the family.  The animal should be selected with great thought and you must be sure that everyone in the family wants and will get along with the animal.  DO NOT buy animals, adopt from a local shelter such as the SPCA or Humane Society.


Gift ideas for any girlfriend or your girlfriend who doesn't fall in to the above categories:
Massage
Mani/Pedi
A weekend getaway
A weekend staycation where you do absolutely nothing
If it's your first Christmas together get her a "our first Christmas" ornament (I wish I had done this)
A tree ornament that means something to her
Perfume/Cologne
Wallet (be sure to include a piece of money for good luck)
Car cleaning (outside and or inside)
Underwear/Lingerie
A complete outfit
Candles or Wax warmer
Bath stuff (bath pillow, bath bombs, bubble bath etc.)
Christmas Jammies (get matching ones and have them open it on Christmas Eve)
Love plan (like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days)
Personal Coupons:  Massage, foot rub, romantic dinner, romantic bath, grocery run, 


And then there's jewelry.  Just make sure it's something she'll wear.  Look at what she already has to get a general idea of colors and styles.  Consider engraving something plain.

Did these gift ideas help?  What are you getting your significant other?
