The list below will help you out in picking out some of the best gifts that your girlfriend would ever have. Check 'em out! Being creative essentially means something different, unique, and surprising. So, the best way to floor her, and show how much you love her is to give one of these homemade gifts to your beloved. After all, it's the thought that counts, right? Trust us, she will absolutely love them and will be overwhelmed when she learns about the efforts that you put in behind the gifts. #1 Cards Instead of buying your girlfriend a card on her birthday, why don't you make one yourself? A card is simple to make and is well appreciated too! All you have to do is to cut a piece from a fancy cardboard paper and write in some sweet things for her. And voila! Your special card is ready! #2 Diary/Scrapbook One of the most special gifts that you can ever make for your lady love is a personalized diary. It is one of the best gifts and admittedly, not very easy to make. For this, you can record all the special moments you have spent with her in the past year (or a lesser duration) and write how much you enjoyed them. Paste in some of your pictures together. On all the days where you didn't meet her, you can write how much you missed her, a love letter, a sweet poem, or a song for her. A diary gives you ample space to put in your thoughts, so you can also write other things like '100 Reasons Why I Love You', etc. #3 Song Book In a song book, you can manually write down all her favorite songs and some cute messages at the end of each one! You can also give her a CD with all these songs. If you can sing decent enough, record them all in your own voice and gift it to her. You can also get accompaniment for your singing with karaoke versions of her favorite songs or play a musical instrument if you can! #4 Jewelry You can take anything from actual gemstones to imitation jewelry to some silly, plastic blocks with letters on them, and make her a bracelet or a necklace. If you can, try finding a pendant to go with it. An idea of making a jewelry at home is creative and quite simple too! She'll love it, especially if she loves jewelry. #5 Gift Baskets A gift basket makes things relatively easier. All you have to do is put in some random necessities along with some of the above mentioned gifts together and wrap them up in a nice basket! You can put in all her favorite things and gift the basket to her. #6 Other Random Gift Ideas One most interesting thing you can enchant her with, is a cozy, romantic candle-light dinner at home or your terrace under the stars. Instead of asking her to cook or taking her out, why don't you sit at home and impress her with your cooking skills? If you don't have any, get some instant noodles or order a pizza! You could even try your hands at making a soft toy or make her a bouquet of flowers. And if all fails, take her for a long ride out of town for a nice, romantic picnic, or an adventurous and romantic weekend getaway. So, now you know that creative and personalized gifts for your girlfriend are not too hard to come up with. A simple formula is to take a gift already in the market, and see if you can make it yourself. After all, she'll appreciate your effort more than anything else! Good luck with it!
