    A good birthday gift is one that takes some thought and creativity.

    Something that I've expressed interest in or something that reflects one of my interests.

    The worst is getting a gift that's like..who was this gift supposed to be for? Generic ? .

    A night away at a nice hotel/bed & breakfast for her (or weekend)
    Some things are going to depend on her personality as far as gifting...meaning does she like nice purses? Does she get her hair/nails done?
    Pay to get her car detailed
    If you guys are close plan an event together like concert/comedy club type of thing

    Today just happened to be the day I did. But you're right. I never do. There's not as much traffic.

    I like that one, especially if it's a gift card to a bookstore. The spa day also sounds like something some people would enjoy.

    For some reason I've always liked the idea of giving someone a bar of dark chocolate with a bottle of red wine and maybe a mix cd to go with it (if other people still listen to cds or maybe an ipod with some music on it - I've never had an ipod or any of the I_things, though).

    For someone else (I wouldn't do this personally), a more personal gift could be a poem, a song, a painting or drawing, a story or some form of art that they themselves composed. Some more ideas might come to me later.
