Need help choosing a gift.

Post » Thu Sep 25, 2014 2:46 pm

She recently had a triforce ring made by one of those 3D printers, but I'd like to go the extra mile or two.

There are two items I want to get her:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/199346702/zelda-inspired-necklace-zelda-heart?ref=market or http://artgemsjewelers.com/shop/pendants/forti%EF%AC%81ed-heart/. The latter is more expensive, but that is not a problem. The problem is it will take months to make and ship.

So ladies and gents, what's your opinion on these? Or do you recommend something else?

Do that and make her a cake while you are at it.

Wimmen love cake.

I considered a ring, but I don't know her ring size. I'm afraid to ask her too, because I am already supposed to know it. :wallbash:

I don't really like either of them as I think they look a bit "bling". Is it a birthday or anniversary gift that you're looking for?

The latter, but what would you recommend? I don't want to get anything that looks like die-cast metal.

Take a ring out of her jewelery box and take it to any jeweler, they can size it for you. If you do it and put it back the same day, she will never notice it missing.

I have never had a problem asking for a woman's ring size, it is the last question that will piss them off. They figure they are getting jewelery, and will happily answer that question for me. Of course the disappointment comes later when they see how small the diamond is when they use a magnifying glass to see it.....

Does she work in an office? No matter what you do, have a florist deliver flowers to her work. This way she gloat over all the other women in the office because her man bought her flowers and theirs did not. She will get at least a week of gloating out of it. You have never seen a woman truly happy until she has spent the day lording her flowers over all the other women she works with.

This seems like a much better idea than my idea of chopping off her ring finger and trying to tape it back on later without her noticing.

I mean really asking isn't hard, just add "wanting to double-check to be sure" if you want to play it safe. (Alternatively you could try "well you've gained so much weight lately I just wanted to make sure your fingers didn't get fatter too**)

Go with CCNA's plan of cunningly finding the ring size sounds favourite to me, flowers always go down well as well. She will also love something unique made by a jeweller, most women do!

Once you have found her ring size why not have a ring made with her birthstone, unique, bespoke and she'll love it. I've added a list of birthstones for you to think about: http://www.americangemsociety.org/birthstones

Then all you have to do is enchant the ring!LOL

She has a nightstand drawer with a cluster of crap in it. I want to be as discreet as possible to keep it a surprise. But the lack of jewelery box got me thinking... Get her a jewelery box.

I think I will get http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1493/?srp=5, and put the heart pendant inside to make it extra cool. B)

Just print it out and lay a ring on top of it.

That pretty good idea, something functional is a fantastic gift. Plus a jewelry box says "Theres more to come,"

Though what I'd recommend doing is buying that box and have someone customize the interior so it has more display value with the jewelry and ensures that they aren't just in a pile inside. Plus I'm sure she will appreciate the extra effort.

Good Luck
