3. Teddy bears will never die out! Girls love stuffed animals, especially if you spray a little of your cologne.

5. Get her a his/her gift. They have so many couples gifts that it makes it easy to shop for her perfect gift. For example, his/her rings let her know that you want people to know your taken by her and vice versa. There are also tee shirts, hats, teddy bears, and even jewelry.

6. An easy way out is to get her perfume. If you know what she wears get her a new bottle, if not then shop around, smell them. Pick out one you would like her to wear.

7. Take her out shopping. A girl will go crazy if you tell her, "babe for Christmas I'm taking you shopping." Most girls will not believe their ears because lets be real, guys never do this. But hey, it's one day out of the entire year, we have to give in sometime.

8. Get her a pet! A puppy, kitten, bunny, even a hamster. Girls love little fuzzy animals, especially if they are babies. She will keep it for a long time and always remember that special Christmas.

9. Make her a card. Yes guys I said MAKE not BUY. Making her a card shows that you are actually putting in the effort of what to write, how to decorate, and how you feel. She will love it and this will probably get her emotional and most likely you may get lucky.

10. Put yourself in an oversize box and surprise her. Yea this is cheesy and its always been a thought in our heads but in actuality how many guys actually done this? I'm sure not many. Let you be her first, it will make her smile and she will love it. Of course when you do this gift be sure to add one of the previous gift ideas I mentioned. Yea the girl will love it, but we all know that will not satisfy her crave for gifts.

It's Christmas, you know she's expecting more this time of year!
