I'm assuming there is an occasion? A birthday maybe?

I vote perfume. It doesn't have to be a big bottle, something small is fine. If you don't know her scene profile, I think Clinique's Happy is light, inexpensive, and works as a day scent for most women. Since you aren't official, I would keep your gift as close to 30k as possible. At least keep it under 50k.

Just thought of you the other day EngMatt. It is you that is planning on going to Germany right? If things keep going pear shaped for me here I'll probably be going to Austria and Germany for a bit next year in the summer. Was there last year in Bavaria, Berlin, Dresden and Bremen. Fantastic country!

Nothing. In Korea, girls give guys chocolate for Valentine's Day. Just take her out for a nice dinner.

Exactly, you'll get your turn in March.

well ya i should have clarified, its not for any occasion, and it was going to be small like around 20k or something.

A hairclip?

I think if it's just a surprise gift, and given the limit, I really recommend you buy her something she has expressed interest in. If you can't think of anything, it is best to wait.
A poorly executed gift in this case is worse than no gift at all.

Put that money (and a little bit more) towards something you can both enjoy, like a bottle of wine.
