How to Pick Birthday Gifts for Girlfriend
Early in a relationship, lean personal but low-pressure: something cozy, something beautiful, or something tied to a shared memory. Save big-ticket jewelry for when you know her taste.
Birthdays are personal, so the best pick is the one tied to what they are into this year, not a generic present. Early on, keep it thoughtful rather than expensive; a big-ticket gift can feel like pressure.
