Girlfriend surprise ideas

I'm surprising my gf in a few days but I'm trying to think up ideas. I've already got the plan to have a ring from Tiffanys sent here in time (no not engagement anything) and I'm trying to think up something else. So far I've got orange flower pedals all over the house leading to me with a note and the ring but I'm open to adjustment ideas or completely different ones. I'm not some tool that actually believes the ring alone is enough

What does that mean, anyway?

What matters is what SHE will think of all this. If she thinks it is an engagement, you might be screwed.....

What's the reason behind trying to surprise her? A ring in itself set up in such an elaborate way with the pedals and other stuff you're planning on doing is on par with engagement surprises. If it's just an anniversary or birthday, it would be better to take her out to a night restaurant and tell her FIRST by saying happy birthday or happy anniversary then present the ring. If you try this out, she might be ecstatic when she sees the ring and then if you're not proposing then well..ya know haha. Then again, if you're like 20, she would have a chance of not taking it as a proposal.


also, you're pretty ignorant if you think having these sorts of "surprises" somehow makes you deep in anyway. It's how you view your partner that constitutes how deep of a person you are in a relationship.

however if you want some more ideas, you may want to google search:

Well, you didn't give us any background info etc...

If you want to get her an elaborate gift from Tiffany's, than try something other than a ring.
They have a wide variety of beautiful jewelry


I mean, if you guys are into this:
the pedals (or whatever) can lead her into you on the bed etc etc you get what i mean...

but than, that's something I'd like my girl to do versus me doing for her haha


I mean, a surprise I did with my ex was I took her out to sushi like any other night, but I had the sushi chef make us a special heart shaped sushi, and write 「愛してる」(which translates to "I love you"). Something i don't know anyone else who has one (though the world isn't a small place, so I'm sure it has been done)
Something totally unexpected heh.


but your idea, although very idea is very romantic, it is, like others mentioned, like a proposal.
But, if you're like me and only 21 (or around it), than maybe she wouldn't think it's a proposal... unless you've been high school sweethearts etc...

U k her better than we do so if you don't know how to push her button then u r ool. Ur idea was good but if you want to add something then imho it would be better if you came up with it yourself. Maybe get her stoned/drunk nice dinner and ml to her and when she wakes up it will be on her finger or somewhere where she will see it. Or cook her breakfast and give it to her or maybe champagne brunch w strawberries and blindfold her and give it to her. Use your imagination but as s1 already said don't make it look like a proposal.

She's 19, the ring isn't expensive or elaborate. It's just a simple stearling silver ring, she doesn't like gold. She knows it's in no way a proposal, I would just lead her into the bedroom with orange flow pedals (she hates flowers but loves orange)

with a few notes to lead up then voila, one of her Christmas presents early on the bed?

Or I could just make out some cut out paper arrows with little hints on em, point to the next one etc...

Dude. Bracelet or necklace. No ring unless it's engagement. JV move. And what happens when/if she assumes it is an engagement ring and you have to explain not. Too much misdirection.

This sounds like a bunch of cheese I did for my gf when I was 19, Tiffanys and all that bs. Was a huge waste of cash when I didn't even have any

I gotta agree with above! Man, one day you'll grow up and wonder why you wasted your cash on junk. You know, just recently, we got all the crap jewelry that my wife's old boyfriends and I bought for her as kids and we just took it to one of those cash for gold joints. Got 300 bucks for that junk. Yeah, forget the Tiffany's - buy a nice sex toy or lingerie so you get some action out of it.

leave little notes around the house as a scavenger hunt for it. like leading to a pic of you 2, and then another clue for some other place in the house, finally leading to the ring.

If you're going to do all of that don't get a ring. They have a lot of great items other than rings. Whatever you get, just make sure it does not come in a box that could be mistaken for a ring.

It doesn't matter if it's not an engagement ring. It doesn't matter if it isn't an extremely expensive ring. It doesn't matter what YOU think it is. It matters what SHE thinks it is, even before she sees it.

If she sees all of that followed by a ring box she's going to think proposal. Sure, she'll quickly realize you're not proposing but before she figures it out you'll either end up scaring her or screwing yourself.

Wear pants for a change, most women still like manly men who would never do anything like this short of a proposal. Even then..../vomit.

YET.

all women are blood sucking gold diggers... learn it young and buy yourself a Porsche with the money.

yah.. ring = engagement

I just bought a necklace in white gold.

Ring or Diamonds = not worth it for a gf unless you are proposing.

and sterling silver? really? Tiffany makes silver?
