what can i get a girl?
 

what else can i get a girl for her birthday besides some of her favorite candy and a card? without spending too much...

That is a good question. Her favorite candy and a card is a nice start. What does she like to do? I once packed a picnic lunch and took a lady i was dating out for lunch that way for her birthday. I even packed a little cake with a candle and sang ( horribly) Happy Birthday to her. Think about her likes, sometime something that you make yourself that comes from the heart is the best gift in the world.

Shoes! I win. :)

don't worry ..anything works fior the first time ..your gonna make LOT'S of trial and terror mistakes ..best plan ..flowers ..unless she has allergies ..or yah shoes..but a gift certificate,,fits all sizes ..if she has a car .. a gas card..or...hell I'm 60 an' still learning..good luck!!

Flowers, of course, why didnt i think of that....thanks guys, its on the 22nd so i have another week to figure it out..

Flowers because they have absolutely no practical value. Hands down - it's flowers.

How well do you know her? Has she ever made a comment like " I would love to do --- someday..."? I bought my wife a skydive jump for her birthday once. It was one of those things she had always wanted to do "someday...".
