Check out this guide to discover the top girlfriend gift ideas that will make you a hero.
1. Subscription Boxes
Subscription boxes are all the rage these days, and for a good reason.
For those who don’t know, a subscription box is a box that contains a variety of products. Typically, these products follow a common theme. For example, there are self-care boxes, pet boxes, beauty boxes, and wine boxes.
All you need to do is sign up for a subscription box, and then the box will automatically be delivered for the length of your subscription. Typically, deliveries take place once per month and are ongoing until you cancel.
For the most part, though, it’s easy to order one subscription box and then cancel afterward if you don’t have the money to continue. A lot of subscription box companies also allow you to purchase gift cards so your girlfriend can redeem her box whenever she wishes.
Here are some great subscription boxes that you should check out for your girlfriend:
BloomsyBox
If your girlfriend loves receiving a big bouquet of flowers, then this is the perfect subscription box to get her.
BloomsyBox is a flower subscription service that allows you to choose between weekly and monthly plans. With each box, you’ll get a beautiful, uniquely selected, hand-tied bouquet.
If you’re looking for an alternative from the traditional bouquet of red roses, this is a great option.
Meal Kit Subscription Boxes

2. Experience Gifts
Experience gifts are always a huge win. Not only are they unique, but they also give you a chance to spend quality time with your girlfriend and create new memories.
Plus, an experience gift is great for any couple that’s trying to cut down on the amount of stuff in their home. Here are some of the top experience gift ideas:
In-Person or Online Lessons
Is your girlfriend looking to pick up a new hobby? If so, why not buy her some lessons so she can get a jump start on whatever it is she’s trying to learn.
Whether it’s tennis lessons, guitar lessons, or photography lessons, there are all kinds of classes available both in-person and online.
Aroma Workshop
Does your girlfriend love perfume?
Instead of buying her a bottle of perfume, why not get a little more creative and purchase her a perfume-making class? This way, she can create her own signature fragrance while learning the art of perfume making.
Classes
Buying a certificate for a class is a great way for you and your girlfriend to spend some time together and try something new.
Some great ideas for classes include:
- Pasta making classes
- Espresso making classes
- Baking/cooking classes
- Painting classes
- DJing classes
- Flower arranging classes
- Lettering classes
All you need to do is check in your area to see what’s available.
Adrenaline Rushing Activities
If your girlfriend is a big adrenaline junkie, then why not get her heart pumping with some sort of daredevil activity. Some ideas include:
- Going skydiving
- Bungee jumping
- Hanggliding
- Parasailing
- Paragliding
- Scuba diving
- Ziplining
- ATV racing
- Whitewater rafting
- Water rappelling
- Rock climbing
- Mountain biking
- Heli-skiing
A lot of these activities are a once in a lifetime opportunity, making this gift truly one of a kind.
Wine Tour
If your girlfriend is big into wine, you could get her a nice bottle. Or, you could step up your game even more and take her on a wine tour.
During a wine tour, she’ll have the chance to see the vineyards, learn how wine is made, and even sample a variety of different wines. If you don’t live near a winery, you could turn the gift into a little getaway where the two of you stay near a winery for the weekend.
Pack Up and Go
Perhaps the best experience gift of all is to have your girlfriend pack up of her bags and take her on a surprise vacation.
And don’t worry, you don’t need to go all out and take her to Italy. Even just a romantic weekend away in a nearby town can be a lot of fun. Or, you could just rent a fancy place on Airbnb and have a stay-cation!
Just make sure her schedule is clear for the weekend you want to get away before you start planning.
Concerts/Shows
If you live in an area with a lot of events going on, tickets to a concert or a show are a great idea.
If concerts aren’t her thing, you could get tickets to a comedy show, play, musical, or sporting event.
Spa Day
Who doesn’t love a day at the spa? This gift is sure to satisfy even the pickiest of girlfriends. You could book a couples massage for the two of you, or, if you have kids together, you could volunteer to babysit while she heads to the spa for some one-on-one time.
The great thing about spa day gifts is that you’ll have a bunch of different services to choose from. From massages to manicures to facials, there’s something out there that your girlfriend will love.
3. Sentimental Gifts
If your girlfriend is a sucker for a good romantic gift, then there are plenty of things you can get her beside a bouquet of red roses. Here are some of our top ideas:
Custom Jewelry
There are all kinds of ways you can customize jewelry these days. One simple and super cute thing to do is to get a necklace made with both of your initials engraved into it.
Other things you can engrave into jewelry include:
- Coordinates of the place you met
- Your handwritten signature/note
- The date of your anniversary
Photo Album
For this gift, all you need to do is buy a photo album and then fill it with pictures of the two of you. You could even have the cover customized to display your initials or a picture of the two of you.
Scratch-Off World Map
Do you and your girlfriend love taking trips together? If so, a scratch-off map makes an excellent gift.
Every time the two of you check off a new destination on your bucket list, you can scratch it off together on the map.
Giant Teddy Bear
While this gift may seem a bit cheesy, it’s actually a lot of fun to receive a giant teddy bear. Plus, your girlfriend can give it a hug anytime you’re away and she misses you.
Custom Illustration
While getting a framed photo of you and your girlfriend is always a sweet idea, why not kick it up a notch with a custom illustration?
All you need to do is send in a photo of the two of you to a company that makes these illustrations, and an artist will get to work. Soon, you’ll have a custom made illustration that your girlfriend can hang up on her wall as a new piece of art.
Love Book
You don’t need to be a great writer or illustrator to create a love book for your girlfriend. There are companies out there that will help you with the process!
All you have to do is answer some prompts about why you love your girlfriend. Then, you’ll pick out characters that look like the two of you. The company will then put the book together for you, and you’ll have what’s known as a “love book”.
This is a very sentimental gift, and your girlfriend will love being able to browse through it to remind herself of your love.
Long Distance Lamps
If you and your girlfriend are in a long-distance relationship, then long-distance lamps make an excellent gift.
This gift comes with a pair of lamps, and when you turn one on, the other one will light up, no matter where in the world it is. This way, you can let your girlfriend know you’re thinking about her without saying anything at all.
4. Anything Personalized
There’s a way to personalize pretty much any object you can think of. So, to create a unique gift, all you need to do is think of something your girlfriend needs/wants, and then find a way to personalize it.
For example, if your girlfriend needs a new wallet, you can buy one that’s engraved with a love note that you wrote. Or, if your girlfriend loves to do puzzles, you could get a custom-made puzzle that’s designed after something that means a lot to the two of you.
5. “For the Girlfriend Who Has Everything” Gifts
Is your girlfriend one of those people who already seems to have everything? If so, here are some gift ideas for her:
Microwavable Slippers
Yes, we realize it sounds super weird to microwave a pair of slippers. But, this is a pretty revolutionary idea. All you need to do is pop these custom made slippers into the microwave, and your feet will be warm and toasty.
Q&A Three-Year Journal
No matter how well you may think you know your girlfriend, there’s likely still a lot that you don’t know.
This journal can help you discover those things! With a Q&A three-year journal, you and your girlfriend are prompted to answer a different question each day that’ll help you better get to know one another.
Some questions pertain to your relationship, while others are more individually focused. What’s really fun is that you can write your answers down and then reflect back on what you wrote years down the road.
Cooking for Two Cookbook
If you and your girlfriend love whipping up meals together, then a cooking for two cookbook will make a great gift.
The great thing about these books is that they’re perfectly portioned so you never have to worry about stowing away leftovers.
