Romantic Christmas gifts for girlfriend can be hard to come by—and you'll need the best ideas for Valentine's Day (It's only seven weeks after Christmas). On the ten-point scale of romantic gift ideas, a Valentine's Day gift should be an eight to ten—so impractical that it should be considered a total waste of money from a rational point of view. But a Christmas gift for girlfriend can be as low as a four to six—personal, but not so impractical as to be considered "very romantic." Read the article on buying a less-romantic Christmas Gift for Girlfriend.
You may want to keep your powder dry by saving your most romantic ideas for other occasions like Valentine's Day or your anniversary. An even better idea is to take the shotgun approach by selecting a few smaller, affordable "romantic gift ideas" that support a larger less romantic christmas gift for girlfriend.
Romantic Christmas Gift for Girlfriend
: Chocolate
A chocolate Christmas gift for girlfriend isn't one of those giant Hershey bars or some cheap assortment in a heart-shaped box you pick up at the supermarket for $5.95, ten minutes before you get to her house. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well and truffles are a classic and almost universally appreciated as the chocolate Christmas gift for girlfriend.
Romantic Christmas Gift for Girlfriend
: Wine
Unfortunately, a beer of the month club membership isn't "romantic"—unless you've met a very special girl. But two or three bottles of wine is something a girl would consider to be romantic. Like you, I don't really see the difference, I mean drunk is drunk, right? But girls seem to make a distiction and commonly prefer wine. I think it may be the impracticality of decent gift-quality wine at $15 per bottle.
And consider the opportunity to pair wine with other Christmas gift ideas such as wine glasses or a nice wine opener. Of course, wine and chocolate are a killer combination too.
Romantic Christmas Gift for Girlfriend
: Engraved Gifts
CAT scans prove that woman use about twice as much of their brains for verbal communication as we do. It seems science has finally caught up to a fact of basic guy wisdom—women like verbal communication—A LOT. As a result, engraving is a great way to turn a regular gift idea, such as a jewelry box or picture frame into something they think is a pretty romantic Christmas gift idea. And the inscription doesn't have to be incredibly sappy—try something funny, but personal, such as using her pet name in the context of an inside joke you both share.
