Preface Preface

• The countdown to Christmas is on, and there's one thing you know for sure: Your girlfriend has your gift picked, ordered, and wrapped in pretty paper ready to slip under the tree. Time is of the essence, especially when you're feeling stumped on Christmas gift ideas for your girlfriend. Don't waste time stressing over how the stakes are high (they are, it's Christmas and she'll want something that shows how you feel about her.) Here's what will help: this complete guide to finding the best Christmas gifts for your girlfriend. Even if shopping is not your thing, we've got you covered.

Give her a sign of your love, literally Give her a sign of your love, literally

• Maybe you're not the best with words on paper. But if you choose a gift that wraps your initials in a heart for all to see, she's sure to get the message.

Show her you hope she stays awhile Show her you hope she stays awhile

• Think of Christmas gift ideas for your girlfriend that will make her more comfortable in your pad, like a cozy robe for her (that stays at your place).

Remind her of an inside joke or funny story from your past Remind her of an inside joke or funny story from your past

• If your first date was dinner at a sushi restaurant, give her a shiny set of chopsticks to remember how it all began. Or create a keepsake book or album to take her on a sweet trip down memory lane

Solve a small annoyance Solve a small annoyance

• When you spend so much time with your significant other, you know the little things that get under their skin. Think on a problem-solver that could make a meaningful difference in her life - maybe a flexible stand for her tablet so she can browse Facebook comfortably on the sofa.

Remember choosing the gift is not about the price tag Remember choosing the gift is not about the price tag

• Picking a high-priced gift doesn't assure you that the Christmas gift will resonate with your girlfriend. It's not that simple. She wants to open a gift that prove you know her, get her style, listen to her, maybe scanned her Pinterest board or chatted with a friend about her wishlist. In other words, think on Christmas gift ideas for your girlfriend that show you've really thought about the gift that's right for her.
