Diamonds have always been more of a man's best bet than a woman's best friend. Jewels, baubles, clothes, and accessories are also widely gifted - and less costly - articles. Flowers are another economical gift that can make your girlfriend feel good. Good looking timepieces work the dual duty of telling your girlfriend the time, and making her think of you whenever she needs the time of the day. A handbag is of incomparable use to women. Its inherent portability makes for an unforgettable gift - more so if it is a conversation piece or if it is basically strong and of good quality.

There are a number of gifts available for girlfriends. Depending on the occasion and situation, almost anything can be gifted to them. The thumb rule of thumb, “It’s the thought that counts”, applies even to girlfriends. Though the latest four-wheeler would make a lot of a difference to your girlfriend, even that cute soft toy has its own place in her world.

Although most women are literally turned off by gizmos and gadgets, the latest cell phone or music system would make an excellent gift if your girlfriend is technologically inclined. Depending on her interest in music, music CDs are also good gift articles. A camera, preferably a digital camera, works well to preserve the sweet memories of a relationship.

Lingerie can also be gifted - depending on the level intimacy between the two of you. Sometimes, gifting lingerie is that one stroke needed by the boyfriend to take the relationship a step further. Cosmetics and perfumes are another type of gifts that never ceases to delight. There is a huge range of cosmetics designed for all parts of the body from head to toe. A person can easily gift the entire set of a cosmetic range to his girlfriend.

If your girlfriend has recently moved into a new apartment, or is just redoing her house, decorative household goods are your best bet for gifts.
