Well, the key to romantic/personal is to keep in mind what she likes.
There are several "traditional" romantic gifts, which have all been mentioned here. But if you were shopping for *me*, you would have to throw out all the suggestions of jewelry, because I wear very little of it (most days it's just my wedding band and that's it - I actually get nervous wearing anything expensive!).
With that said: Consider taking a spin through some of the bath/body stores, and see if you can find a scent you like that makes you think of her. That's a big part of what will make this kind of gift romantic - buy a whole bunch of products with the same scent, and present them to her with some words about how you felt this scent was a perfect match for her because it's earthy and exotic, or light and cheerful, or whatever sort of qualities apply.
Now, the MOST IMPORTANT PART if you do this? Remember what the stuff smells like, and NOTICE when she uses it. Make it meaningful to you when you smell the stuff on her, even if it's just a simple "mmm, yummy" when you give her a hug. 'Cause unless she didn't believe anything you said in the last paragraph, she's probably using the stuff *because* you indicated it was meaningful to you, and it's important that you acknowledge and appreciate things like that.

Write a lovely piece on some quality stationery about the fine qualities that you see in this lady. People's egos really thrive on this sort of thing and plus it will be original. It won't cost you much and will make a wonderful impression on a sincere spirit. If you are just down to earth, that's all that is required. You are on your way to a great relationship. I wish you well. "The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation." Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Remember this, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.

Men is not good at picking jwelery and stuff no effence, what if you pick something for her and she doesn't like it why don't you take her on a romantic night just you and her maybe to a very nice resturant or some thing and give her a shopping day where she can pick out what ever she wants.

Firstly....how personal is ur relationship, that's the key to getting your lady a gift. If you've just met (1-6 weeks) then aomething for her fave hobby (reading/book, gardening/flowers,plants. If you've known her longer then your getting into the perfume or sweater stage, take her shopping and let her choose (unbeknown to her) and then purchase it for. If your deadly serious about her then body chocolate and the like, a romantic weekend away with room service and a hot tub.

I wouldnt suggest jewerly. You need something with a truly personal touch. Think picnic on beach or in the mountains.. Make the sandwiches yourself. Present her with a home made CD of songs that remind you of things you have done together. If you have enough Photo's make an album of your time together with captions. (think first date... etc) Remember.. anyone can wander into a store and buy something.. but things that dont cost much but your time and thought are priceless.. And if your lady would rather have the expensive non personal things.. then maybe you are with the wrong person?

Still can't make up your mind what to get her? Buy several/many things, and present them to her during the week before her birthday. Try to find out what she really likes, mix in some practical stuff, too. Don't go broke, make some of them tokens.
A candle in her favorite scent might cost a couple bucks,, a small bottle of her favorite perfume, a small gift certificate to her favorite restaurant, gift shop, craft store, spa, department store, book store.. A gift certificate for an oil change or to get her car washed/waxed, but give the practical stuff to her after several nice presents..If she records her own TV shows or music, blank tapes or CDs. Would she like a VCR or CD player? Walmart, K-mart have less expensive ones. Find out where she gets her hair or nails done, gift certificate that. Take her out a couple times, her favorite fast food, a nice dinner at her favorite restaurant.
Reinact your first real date, or have a real birthday party, cake, presents, funny hats, favors, just the two of you, or invite the family and/or friends.
If you give her several gifts, surely she would like one!
When in doubt, ask her Mom! If they deep in touch, Mom's know all that stuff.
Don't forget a nice card. Pick one that wishes her a happy birthday. Guys don't like to give cards, they think it is a declaration of love, or impending marriage. Not. And for heaven's sake, wrap the present[s]! Buy a gift bag the correct size, pick one in her favorite color, or a Happy Birthday one, buy some tissue paper, take a couple pieces, turn one side ways on top of the other, gather both of them in the middle, and stuff the middle down inside the bag, leaving the 8 corners sticking out.. Tie on a ribbon, and fill out the gift card.
Go to a Dollar Store, they have great bags for cheap.
Go to the florist, ask about the meaning of the flowers or go on line.. Give her one of each that express your feelings for her, and write them down on the card: red rose for passion...Make a small bouquet out of them [they don't have to match or cordinate with each othr, its for the meaning of them..
I glanced at some of other people's ideas, sounds like you have plenty to choose from.
Good luck, and Happy Birthday to your girlfriend!

A beautiful shawl would be nice, or a crystal figurine that is symbolic of the two of you. If you have the ability, write a poem or a song for her. This is a very personal and sweet gift.

Well, if you two are intimate I would get her a basket of scented bath gels and soaps, bubble bath and such. Then get her a bouquett of her favorite flowers and run her a hot bath with candles and her favorite wine (chilled). Someone did this for me and I possitively melted into his arms. You could also add a romantic dinner before hand if you like.

It really depends on how do you feel about this person.
Check her casualty, if she is using any perfume or is she wearing any jewelery? just find out something fit for her.
(Roses are always the best choice) If you are first time dating, you should invite her out for dinner, and if not first time, then you should know what kind of jewelery is she wearing or perfume she spray on.
