As you begin to think about a gift for your loved one, may I make a suggestion? Think of your loved one -- not what you want to give him or her but what he or she truly wants. This may seem obvious, but all too often people receive gifts they neither need nor desire. And yet as the giver, we often feel tremendous pressure trying to find a good, never mind perfect, gift.
Here are some tips:
Figure out your budget. It's never a good idea to give a gift that you can't afford; somewhere in the back of your mind, overspending will make you feel bad.
Has your loved one given you any hints or made a blatant request? If so, then honor that request. There is nothing wrong with giving a gift that has been asked for; the surprise is in the receipt, not the idea.
Does your loved one need an item of clothing, a piece of tech equipment, or a tool? You know this information. Just take the time to think about it.
Avoid gag gifts. Holiday season is not the right time for jokes. People have way too much invested in giving and receiving and our expectations and sentiments run high. It's much better to offer a gift in sincerity.
Create something memorable. Some people love to receive hand-made gifts, and your loved one may just be that kind of person. Creating something with your own two hands is a gesture filled with love.
Are you in the mood for romance? Sometimes we want to give special, luxurious gifts that go straight to the heart. If you can afford such an indulgence, and you know the kind of jewelry your lover appreciates and feels comfortable wearing, then why not?
Gift giving can be nerve-wracking and stressful. But it also can become a less-than-thoughtful power play. So in the spirit of showing your loved one that you care, give him or her something they truly desire -- a piece of you.

How about a his & hers dayspa/massage? A hot air balloon ride? A tour of local wineries (if you have any in the area) or somewhere that does a degustation menu (always good for the tastebuds!) Something new the two of you can experience together.
By the way...... Happy 6 month anniversary...

Plan a picnic. You do the cooking. Make a delicious lunch and dessert. Two long stemmed glasses and her favorite beverage. Plan the picnic in a park and bring your CD player and play your first song together and ask her to dance. (you could also bring some nail polish along with you and paint her nails and toes....very romantic). Don't forget 6 red roses for your six month anniversary.

Sing your favorite love song to her. Get her a card and write a couple of paragraphs expressing how you feel. Flowers are always good. Can you cook? Try cooking her a meal, a nice one. She'll appreciate the effort, much more than a gift certificate.

Wow six months huh. Well congratulations to ya. I hope you stay happy. You could get a pretty nice bracelet from the Tiffany's catalog for less then 200-300 bucks. Girls like the aqua blue box.

Focus on something she likes to do, such as skating, dancing, concerts, etc. If not that, then put together a CD of her favorite songs and/or her favorite artists. If it is something SHE really enjoys, she will always relate it to your 6-month anniversary "special" day.
Good luck, and congrats to both of you!

take her out the whole entire day. meaning morning til night. at night rest and enjoy, if you know what i mean ;) lol
just make sure during the day you have lots of fun. go to an amusement park, zoo, malls, places to eat, downtown, fun shops, etc. take breaks and stuff but don't go home til night.
have fun! its all creativity and what you feel is best for you two.

Sounds like you've been through this a few times. Maybe you should think about changing your system and just be a great guy all the time.
