So I've been pretty much out of the dating game for most of the last 3 years, that is, up until 2 weeks ago. I just started dating this woman, and our connection is so strong that we've decided to be in a committed relationship.
I want to do something very nice for her on her birthday without going overboard. Her birthday also happens to be 4 days after Valentine's Day. So I need to get this together rather quickly. I think the birthday will be a bigger deal than Valentine's Day. Her girlfriends are throwing her a party, so I don't need to be concerned with that, but what are some thoughtful, inexpensive gift ideas? How much should I do? She's not materialistic at all, so thats a great thing. It just needs to be thoughtful and maybe a bit creative. Ideas needed!
Wow! Congrats to you on the relationship. As far as ideas, something related to her interests? Hopefully you know what that would be. I always like a man that cooks for me and goes all out...nice table setting, candles, fresh flowers on the table, good food, followed by wine on a comfy couch with the lights turned low.....
By Valentine's and her birthday, you'll only have been dating for about 5 weeks so whatever you do, don't go overboard for either one.
Is there a place where you could get a dozen heart-shaped cookies, or something similar, that isn't a dozen roses for $100?
As for her birthday, a nice dinner out, and maybe a token gift, like a CD or book by her favourite artist or author (if she's into music or books). Something that shows you pay attention to her and her interests. My SO is very thoughtful about gifts, and that is more important to me than what money is spent.

She may be watching her diet, so not sure about cookies or food items.
Congratulations! This isn't something specific, but get her something thoughtful. It doesn't have to be anything expensive, just something to show you put time into thinking about what to get. For example, if you have an inside joke you can get her something pertaining to that (maybe not the only thing you do for her but something to make her laugh)! Or maybe she mentioned she really wanted to go see a certain play or movie... Just something to show you are paying attention to what she says =) Maybe some flowers too! Not roses, do something original! All girls are different and you will know what she likes better than anyone on this forum Good luck!!
