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.

I'm now thinking of a day at the spa.

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.
