I have a new girlfriend of 1 month and I would like to buy her something under $100

I bought roses last week, was a big hit.

She is stylish and already has a ton of clothes.

We do not know her likes or dislikes.

Sporting event?
Play?
Dinner?
Skating?
Concert?
Candy?
Coffee beans?
Looseleaf tea?
Wine?

only YOU can figure that out!

I was not considering a show or event. That is best. Thank you.

A pretty mug and either some specialty teas or specialty coffee beans or grounds.

One month girlfriend and you have already bought roses. Slow down. You don't want to appear to be desperate.

Tickets to a show or event that you can go to together are good.

Wait until Christmas to buy the next present. If you are still together, don't go overboard on the gift, but give her something thoughtful and nice but put a cap on the price that you will spend on a girlfriend of only 3 months.

If she invites you to dinner at her house, of course, you can take a bottle of wine, but a "hostess gift" isn't quite the same as a present and it is given for a different reason.

You don't want to be seen as trying to buy her and if she is a decent person and not a gold digger, it will make her uncomfortable if you appear to be trying to buy her.

It's the time of year where there are all kinds of winter festivals and light-up nights and special concerts and performances. Keep your eyes open for something that might be fun for you both.

When you go places pay attention to things she admires or says she likes. Taking her places you both enjoy is probably better than presents at this point. I think going to play paintball would be fun, but she might not. You could go get pedicures together. Ziplining. With the holidays coming you could decorate cookies together.

Isn’t a GF a romantic relationship? Interesting to post here in the
Nonromantic Relationships section. Perhaps you would get better/more posts there…

I agree a ticket to an event would be nice, & not necessarily a gift, just part of dating. I agree with OWS that you need to slow down on the gifts, & wait till Christmas for the next one. Listen to what she talks about & find something you think she will like.

I think buying flowers randomly for no reason is very nice. Otherwise, gifts should be things you can do together. Tickets to a show, or a museum. Finding a small eatery that serves something she likes. Things like that.
