What are some of her hobbies? If she doesn't like music, does she perhaps like to read? Give us some clues here.

Well if your really good at wood working, just find something else to do then a jewlery box, or even you could make her a jewlery box & buy her a neckless & put it in the box so it would be two surprises in one (:

Yeah, if your good at woodworking make her like a really ornate shelf, a picture frame, that sort of thing.

picture frame could be good. Make it look good though, like pretty ornate etc..
then maybe u could find a picture of you two and put that in. I dunno i'm not exactly a 'present expert' :p

Buy her a movie or two that you could watch together over break. Definitely like the picture frame with a picture of the two of you idea as well.

do something for her that lets her know shes extra special to you. do something that will surprise her, girls like surprises.

like setup a picnic somewhere or something and jsut have it be the two of you for the day or something, idk lol. i'm not good at this stuff either, i'm single over here haha.

So you don't have to get her a gift, per say. As a "present" to her, just spend a really great day together on a date; it produces the same effect. Do whatever you like, as long as she's happy. You can probably even go to the mall, and if she sees something she likes, buy it for her on the spot.

ya if she told you that herself, you could take her shopping and buy her what she picks.

I like the really special date. I would appreciate that more than any gift a guy would give me because it shows they put thought into it. Go with that. You cant really go wrong either.

even if she doesn't listen to music, learn a song on guitar or any other instrument and play it for her. DEFINITE panty remover.

You don't have to buy her anything. In my opinion something a guy does or makes is better than any material thing. For example the special date thing is a good idea. You know her better than any of we do, be creative. :p

Personally, as this is the first christmas where I'm "seeing" this girl, I decided to make my present unique and special - Taking her out on a date. But not any normal date, I'm combining all of the classical dates: Ice Skating, Cinema, and out for a meal in a very posh restaurant.

A date is only as good as the participating people want it to be, and if you're going out with her, that should be pretty good

set a money limit with one another if you are doing the present thing- way more challenging and means you dont blow the bank but get a lovely present all the same

Quoted for partial truth...

Generally I wouldn't ASK the other person how much the budget is, you should just set a sensible one yourself, and see what's the best kind of stuff you can get. There are some things money can't buy. (for everything else, there's MasterCard).
