Hmmm i cant decide, i cant think of anything good...browsing g-market hasn't helped. I really do think woman are hard to buy for haha.

We've been together for 2 years now and i don't want to spend much as i bought her an expensive purse when i came through duty free after a month back home recently. Also, Friday is our 2 year anniversary so i bought her some stuff from the face shop and were having a nice tea...now I'm stumped..

I need some inspiration, What are you getting your significant other for christmas??? or what is a good gift for a k-girl??

This year my lady will be getting a nice new pair of rubber kitchen gloves and a brand new wok.
You need to keep it real, fellas.

Buy her what you got your girlfriends at home. This isn't some strange alien land.

I got my girlfriend perfume last year. Go shopping with a girl, easier that way.

For her birthday, I bought my girlfriend a cashmere and silk scarf, and a pair of leather gloves from Coach. Practical and classy. We're not exchanging gifts for Christmas because I'll be moving house and she'll be working.

A princess for a day gift. Always a good one.

What my gf loved one christmas was just sitting at the computer, you give her a floor limit, and she online shops to that limit. You then pay. You can spice it up by making her do it naked.

Burberry Trench
Gold bracelet
Yoga/Exercise tops
Polo T-shirts

After 14 years, I'm running out of ideas. I have come to learn, though, that brand names do carry clout in the gift department. Pathetically materialist, I know, but it works.

And the number 1 rule: Don't buy her stuff you think she needs, buy her stuff you know she wants.

I know it's lame, cliched and will probably elicit a chorus of 헐's from any Korean friends, but why not try singing her a song. If you can play an instrument, then it's even better. Lots of foreigner bars have shindigs on or around Christmas, so if you've got the balls and/or talent to do it she'll get a kick out of it, to be sure. Plus, this is Korea. There's no danger of it being too corny. Plus, it's free.

Remember a floor is a minimum and a ceiling is a maximum. This is like saying, "Baby, you can't be cheap and spend less than XXX Won, but anything is possible as my pockets are very deep. Just get yourself something nice on me."

How about one of them nice Christmas cakes? Talk about me being a cheapskate! LMAO!

A nice broom. Not one of those rinky dink Asian models where she has to stoop over. A nice full size American jobby with real wooden handle and real straw fibers, not plastic. And if she's good, for her birthday I will be getting her a matching dustpan. With her name engraved upon it of course.
