you aren't a lousy gift shopper, just out of practice. Gypsy is right. A gift doesn't have to be expensive, just meaningful. A gift is an extension of your feelings. That can be something silly or romantic or related to a shared memory. It's the emotion behind it that makes it meaningful. It's also what makes gift-giving hard; most of us try to do it without any thought and therefore the act of giving has no meaning. If you really like GF40, think about why. If you want to give her something, give her something that reflects those reasons. Give her something that relates to the conversations you've had with her, or something that reminds you of her. Give her something that you know she likes. Maybe that is thermal underwear, I don't know. I would certainly like it if GF40 gave ME thermal underwear, preferably with some SmartWool socks. But give it a little thought and don't end up in the doghouse!
