When you are dating a person which means the whole world to you, why hold yourself back from showing love in the form of gifts?
It's a common misconception that gifts don't matter, your gesture does, which is quite right in general. But, is there any harm in making your girlfriend's day by giving her something she really wanted for a very long time or just catch her off guard by giving something really simple, yet so meaningful?
Yes, it does depend on the nature of the person, which tells you a lot about getting them a gift. Some girls don't like that you spent extra bucks for something which can't be used in the long term as they are thinking about savings. On the other hand, some girls really like the fact that you care about them enough to get them some expensive gifts.
In general, there's no specific time of the year for sending a gift to your girlfriend. However, there are some special occasions when your lightest gesture would mean a lot to her. For instance, if it's her birthday, you would want to make her day by getting her something which would actually mean a lot to her.
If it's a new year or Christmas, you might want to get her something really meaningful, which hopefully she'll not be able to forget the rest of the year. So, yes, it is sort of a subjective topic and varies from person to person and your personal choices.
Having said that, sending red flowers, however, is the ultimate way of showing love to your girlfriend at any time of the year. The color goes with the mood though, but red is the universal color of love in this genre, so it is used throughout the year.
What things to send girlfriend with flowers? Well, frankly, it really depends on the person and their preferences. If your girl loves to read, there's nothing more exciting gift you can send other than the books. It's quite a vintage gift but romantically beats everything. Book is heaven for these people, they love to even keep them and make their personal library of their own.
On the contrary to it, not every person is fond of books, which is totally fine and natural. Some girls prefer clothing over everything and love to try new outfits, hoodies, sneakers, etc. Then there are girls who prefer jewelry and nothing fascinates them more than this. Just like that, every girl is different is her way and nature and their preferences change with them.
So, what you really need is to get to know your girl better; find what fascinates her, what's her favorite place or her one childhood memory she wants to revive. This will help you narrow down the things you want to send/give her.
Although it's quite cliché, if you're in a live-in relationship, you can just ask your partner what does she want for her birthday or Christmas. But, if you want to surprise her, a bouquet of fresh flowers, with some chocolates and candies along with a romantic book can make a really good combination of your gift.
