Right, you might be wondering what sort of a loser asks people he doesn't know on the internet for ideas for his girlfriends birthday. The answer is this loser!! The date is rapidly approaching, and I've absolutely no idea what to get/do. Last year it was the theatre and dinner, so don't want to go down that route again. She doesn't wear make up, and isn't really into 'girlie' type stuff, health spas etc.

We'll be in New York on her birthday (this has been planned for months, it isn't her present, I'm not that well organised!), and we're staying here: http://www.gershwinhotel.com/english/site1.html I've never been to NYC before, so any ideas based around New York would be good, or failing that just present inspiration!

It's not a milestone birthday, she'll be 32, so keep any ideas fiscally sensible!

Ha. I've got all sorts of ideas. I'm a New Yorker originally and often return back to the city. I'll think of some things to do there and PM you tomorrow!

Thanks very much, she might not end up with a I love New York baseball cap after all!

[Sunny So Cal]

No worries. We'll see she gets an I Love New York coffee cup instead

[Sunny So Cal]

Go check your PMs.

A romantic carriage ride? A bit weather dependant, but its a lovely thing to do in New York.

[Boboff]

A tin of pledge and a hand held rotary mixer I think.

This was one of sunny's ideas too, which would seem quite cool, although nowhere near as cool as the helicopter flight over New York. Of course I'd hate that and would only be doing it for my lovely girlfriends birthday you understand............

Great thats christmas sorted. Boxing day can be spent in A&E getting it removed.

Take her up to the top of the Empire State Building and tell her you love her. That will get you brownie points for a long time. Of course you'll have to spend money on something as well - don't be scared to take her into Tiffany's, they have a lot of very affordable and pretty little trinkets which she would love.

She has some Tiffany stuff, although I'm sure some of it's knock off! Tiffany's does scare me, and it's nowhere near as fun as a helicopter ride! I can whisper sweet nothings via the microphone and headphones we'll be wearing in the chopper, it'll be just like Airwolf, she'll love it!!

... I don't think I ever saw that episode of Airwolf...

Did you not Zooty? Best get watching the re-runs then!

Perfume, ladbroke. Try the "passion for perfume" shop, or go on-line. That's where I got 12 actual quid off a perfume this morning, so you'll be saving money too. www.passionforperfume.co.uk

[Vivienne]

And you could buy her "Fifth Avenue" perfume... get the connection! great, eh?

Nice thought Viv, but she almost never wears perfume or make up. A fact I'm pleased about, as it's a million miles away from my ex wife, and every other vain and vacuous woman I've been out with. Not that vain necessarily equals vacuous!

[Vivienne]

hmmm. I have to admit I wear perf., and I'm not vain or vacuous.

[Vivienne]

Well, maybe a bit vain

[MK Chris]

...and a bit vacuous.

[Yudster]

I don't think that's entirely accurate Topher.

[MK Chris]

Sorry, you're right.

Extremely vacuous.*

*Just kidding, Viv.

[Yudster]

You can't possibly be kidding - there's no smiley face.

[MK Chris]

You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.

Flowers.

I've never known a wummin that wasn't into them.

And champagne. Get the hotel to put roses (or whatever) all over the bed and a bottle of champers on ice... That would be a good wee end to whatever night you have planned.

Oh, then get MORE roses sent to her house for when she gets home - as a wee reminder.

[ladbroke]

Tis true she likes flowers, so I will get her some. Personally I don't really get the whole flowers business. Yes they look kinda nice, and yes they smell nice but thats about it. I'd be disappointed if I got any, buy me a bottle of JD instead. I'd rather have lillies than roses if I had to have any, but seeing as lillies are supposed to represent death I think I'll steer clear of them!!

[foot-loose]

... I have mentioned, at regular intervals, on this site, that women are completely insane.

You do not need to "get" the whole flower business, just pay for it!
