The Blue Board

Kitchen Aid with extra accessories.

I'm about to be a fatass.

Brand new professional wardrobe so she can start her med school clinical years in style.

Props. I don't do jewelry. I have in the past. It's either hit or miss whether they like it or not.

My ex must have just been a picky jewelry snob.

Tickets to Book of Mormon and some other odds and ends.

I got my wife some jewelry she wanted, perfume, purse, clothes, and other odds and ends.

For those on a budget or with new girlfriends and such I have an idea that worked perfectly for me when I was a poor college student/first year out of college. I hadn't been dating the girl for too long and we didn't have a lot of money to spend so we decided to get each other the same topical gifts. That way no one overspends and you have a limited category of what to get her.

For instance, you can get each other a book, DVD and video game (this girl was a bit of a gamer). you don't have to pick those three things, but you get the idea. If you are an alcoholic and hate to read you can replace book with bottle of liquor or something. It worked out well for us....we were broken up by Valentines Day and I hadn't dropped 300 on a girl I wasn't dating anymore.
