Have a sit down with her (if you can) and talk to her. If you just plain forgot it was her birthday, it won't get you far. But being that you sent an e-card, you can just say that this was an error in my part and I will NEVER let this happen again.
However, also say that if my apology still isn't enough, you can't forgive me and you no longer care about me, then I wish you luck in your future. While I will never allow this mistake to happen again, if you can't allow yourself (the girl) to trust me (you) again, then I have to let you find what you are looking for,
I just gave you "the twist". At the very LEAST, she'll think about things. And if she still is materialistic, then you might as well save that gift and give it to your next girlfriend.

Need more info. Like... how long have you been dating?
If only for a couple of weeks...or even a month or so... I would think an e-card or card would be fine.
If longer...then yeah... you should have put more thought in to it. But if she's willing to break up over a gift...then it sounds like something else may be going on.
Ask her to allow you to make it up. And do something "thoughtful" and meaningful. That does not have a big price tag. If that is not enough for her...then maybe you should re-evaluate your relationship.
If a woman loves you....she will take you for what you are...what you give. But you must be willing to give. Even the simplest things. Good LUCK!!

There are 2 reasons to break up with her. 1) You didn't get her a gift for her birthday, so either you don't know her very well, or she's not that important to you, and 2) If not getting a gift is reason enough for her to want to end it, can you really see staying with her very long anyway?

If you got her a card, you didnt forget her birthday. If she expects gifts for every occasion, she is shallow. Money isn't as important as spending time with the one you love. It may have been nice, but it isn't the end of the world not to get a gift for an occasion. I would find someone who appreciates me more as a person than how much I can spend for Birthday, Christmas, etc.

If she breaks up with you because of a gift you did not get her, she will break up with you for simpler things. I am sure you have apologized and I am sure you have offered to still get her a gift even after her birthday has past. If you can't statisfy her over this situation, just imagine what's up ahead for you later when fights break out.
You can't make her stay, you'll have to let her go. Let it rest with her, that she left you over a gift. And if she does this to you, she'll do it to the next person that forgets her birthday.
Do you really want to be with someone like this who breaks up with you so easily?

I think that if your girlfriend is going to break up with you because you didn`t get her a birthday gift, she isn`t worth it. I mean, if you completely forgot her birthday, I could understand. But if she`s going to be materialistic and want to break up with you over something as stupid as not getting her a gift, then you need a new girlfriend anyway.

dump her. You don't want to spend your life with such a spoilt brat. She'll just find other things like that to be picky about.
if not, try a physical card at least. E-cards are cheap and tacky. a printed card is more personal.
Better still, get the next girlfriend a present, with a signed physical card attached. and use birthday alarm. forget e-cards though.

All you can do is say your sorry and get her a real gift other than a e-card. If she still has a problem then let her go, she should know that not everyone is perfect. Good luck.

awww pobre you.....tell her that you are truely sorry and that you and her can go out and shop for her gift together.....and that you'll do almost anything to make it up to her....maybe u can get reservations at a fancy restaurant and tell her that the only reason u didn't get her a gift is cuz you wanted to surprise her with this dinner....and u didn't want to cave in and tell her (yeah it might be a little white lie....but i really don't think this will hurt her)....buy her a bouquet of roses too......hopefully it'll work...good luck man, hang in there!

well, depending on how long you have been dating, you should know that an e-card is not enough. BUT, this is not a reason for her to break up with you. I bet she is not perfect either. Talk to her. She seems not to be mature enough. Maybe it is time for you to rethink your relationship.
