What should i get my friend for her birthday?

A watch.

Welcome to Fluther! Can you tell us what your friend likes to do?

I think we need a little more information.

1. “Friend” is a broad term. Is this someone from work, or the girl who’s been your next-door neighbor for 20 years?
2. What does she like? What are her hobbies? What are her interests?
3. Is she picky and/or high-maintenance? (the only instance where I actually recommend a gift card)

Oh, and what price range are you considering?

yeah agree with @Seek_Kolinahr and @Pied_Pfeffer , tell us more about the friend. Is she a shopaholic and clothes/beauty/jewelry junkie? as me

Are you close friends or casual friends?

Take your friend to lunch.

Get her gift certificate for Starbucks or the movie theatre.

A U. S. Savings Bond

What about a gift of music? A CD? Some ipod dowloads?

Well if she is a make up / fashion/shopping junkie like me, Then a shopping spree wouldn’t hurt. If she’s more into music then you could see if there is any concert going on in your neighbourhood, of some kind of music that she likes, you could maybe buy 2 tickets for you and her, if you are okay with the price
or invite her to a fancy restaurant

thanks for the help everyone, I should have been a little more specific. We are casual friends for about 6 months but I like her, but do not want to get anything to personal. She has always wanted a watch though… how about a perfume?

I’m still partial to the watch.

I’m still partial to lunch.

@ChazMaz She’ll be late to lunch if she doesn’t have a watch.

Damn you!!!

Ok… Watch it is…

Then lunch!

Yes…but what kind of watch, and which restaurant? Are we done here with the assistance?

Italian or mexican I would say!

Are Fossil and Swatch still in style?

@mrentropy I don’t think so, but if not already, they are both due to be considered retro and hip-happening. Time to check to see if that Fossil watch is still in the jewelry box.
