So a couple years ago decided to give my girlfriend a Claddagh...

For those of you who need an explanation, a Claddagh (pronounced Claw-Duh) is a traditional Irish ring with two hands presenting a heart with a crown. It is intended as a gift you give to somebody very close to you. The circular shape of the ring represents eternity, the hands meaning a presentation or a gift, the heart representing love, and the the crown so symbolize loyalty or devotion. If you're having trouble picturing this, follow the link I've provided. ( link ) The one I gave her looks like this next image. ( link ) When I gave her this ring it made her so happy. My girlfriend is Irish too so she not only knew what this ring was, and what it meant, but she also wanted one for the longest time.

So what happened was I gave her the ring, and I went on about my feelings for her and what the ring meant, and why I was giving it to her. She was crying for the first hour. She was just that happy. The very instant I left her sight she found a phone and started calling her friends to tell her the big news. She was so happy she didn't stop smiling for several days. Seriously she was even quite literally smiling in her sleep. For the longest time after I would also catch her holding out her hand and staring at the ring. I think I really outdid myself there.

That's the problem.

Thing is I want to occasionally come up with new ways to make her that happy again. She's still quite happy but I would love to know new ways that I can blow her away, and make just about as happy as I did when I gave her that claddagh. In some ways I fear that this was the best I could ever do, without straight up proposing to her. Thing is though as much as I'd like to marry her one day I don't think she'd say yes. Actually if I'm being honest here I can't say for sure that either of us are ready, but ever mind the details as to why.

Back on the original subject. I'm looking to you folks for ideas and suggestions for what I can do to make her as happy as she was then, at least once more. To make her smile, and burst into tears again if possible. I'm not about to propose to her, and besides while I feel like maybe something huge might be the right idea (or maybe not), proposal is too huge. So, I need ideas folks. Give me all you got.

If any guys wanna tell me what's worked for you in the past I'm not about to shut you up, and girls, if you can share with me some stories about what kind of romantic things has made you feel that good, I'd love to hear it. If the fine people on this site can help me out with this one with any ideas or insight whatsoever, you'd officially be my hero(es).

Thanks for reading.


Update: (Oh and as per usual the best answer goes to the person with the most insight or best ideas that help me out here. )    2 months ago

Update: Well so far it looks like Shlei3 has the best answer. So for now she has it. I'll change the best answer if somebody comes up with something better. Thank you all for your answers. They were all good efforts. Though for the most part didn't...    2 months ago

Update: help me as much as I'd like, I'm sad to say. Still I thank you all.    2 months ago

Some of the best times I have spent with were some of the most simple inexpensive times. My fiance told me to clear my schedule for a particular weekend and nothing more. He did not divulge details. Much to my surprise he had taken the time to find out my favorite meal as well as how to cook it himself. On that weekend he whisked me away to a cabin in the woods where he cooked my favorite meal, brought my favorite music and my favorite board games. We spent the weekend in the woods just relaxing and enjoying one another. We didn't watch tv and we didn't use our cell phones but we did hike, watch stars, canoe, play board games and get to know each other even more. Simplicity... :)

Some other ideas:
-Make a calendar for 2010 filled with collages that remind you of your relationship. Include: special dates to remember, pictures, ticket stubs, words, lyrics etc.

-Take her out to dinner and let her know it's "Just because" and not due to a birthday, anniversary or anything.

-Spend a day together doing something new or something you normally would not do but that she enjoys : I.E. Bowling, mini-golf, spa day

-Make her a video of things that remind you of her: For example; tape yourself going to various locations that you two have a special bond with, sing her a song, talk to the camera...etc.

Question Asker The cabin thing also sounds like a good idea but a tad pricey as I don't have access to a cabin nor do I have a car or a licence . But I will certainly keep it in mind at some point. - 2 months ago

OK I’m trying to think of something that would blow her mind but the best idea I can come up with right now is what an ex did for my for my Vday present. At the time I was crazy and I really do mean crazy for the backstreet boys... I know I know what was I on... but any way my boyfriend at the time go 4 of his friends together to come up with dance moves and practise lip syncing. Then he talked our drama teacher into letting him use the theatre and he made a special lunch for me, and when he was done they did the “concert” it was very sweet and I still tell people it was one of the coolest things anyone has ever done for me! Maybe if you can pull a few things you can try something like this out with your girl.

I think that your love is enough, seriously! But I suppose you can just make her feel appreciated...everyone has those days or moments when it feels like all of your efforts go unnoticed, so who better to appreciate her than a man like you!?

Question Asker I thank you for saying such a kind thing. I suppose the reason I want to make her so happy a second time, is somewhat selfish. I mean I kinda got a rush from making her feel so good. I would love to see her smile like that again. I'm quite sure I make her happy. I just want to push it over the top again if even for a moment. - 2 months ago

Firstlyyy that's the most beautiful thing I heardddddd in my life.. Very sweet and romantic & I am so glad that you made her feel this way. Ok Girls loves gifts its a true fact especilly from the guy they really love. Romantic ideas could be : 1. You can create her a book describing how much you love her and how you feel towars her, sticking pictures of you two. 2. if you got the house to yourself, that's beautiful, go buy many roses if she doesn't like roses buy her favourite flowers Suprise her... This is how you do it. Put roses or flowers etc on the floor where every you like, it its better to put them in your room Ok lets say you got upstairs.. start putting the roses from there till inside your room and when she follows them roses she will find a beautiful gift yes that's right, make sure you buy her gift as well, since you bought her a ring now you can buy her necklace or even that special book (made by you) . Ok and your plan could be this, tellin her to go upstairs to your room and you will be next to her in two minutes because you gonna get drinks from the kitchen or what ever. Hope this helps you out =D all the best

Here's an idea...

In about a month's time, devote an entire day to her. Make sure it's a time she's free - like a Saturday (or a day she's not working) so it's a surprise.

Start the day by bringing her coffee and breakfast in bed - something delicious and unusual that she wouldn't normally eat.

Then take her out for the day somewhere. Plan a surprise activity in the morning - maybe something that pampers her like a spa!

Take her out for lunch somewhere nice and spoil her!

Then a second activity in the afternoon - could be something to enjoy together, for example visit to the zoo to a balloon trip. Don't tell her what it is - just drive her there!

Finally, take her home. Watch her favourite movie, cook some great food, crack open a decent bottle of wine and have a sensuous evening!

Does she like travelling? is there somewhere she would really love to go but hasn't yet? Book a holiday for the two of you! I think that is one of the best presents you can give a girl.

I agree with Edanna the ring was a beautiful one time thing but no girl wants her boyfriend to believe that the only thing that would make her happy is to buy her stuff. We want someone to show their love in a creative way that is more than words. (like the song)! We don't always want a materialistic gift (although sometimes they are nice). We want something extraordinary and inter-galatical. We want something that shows her that you think of her even when she's not around or when she's sleeping next to her and when your out with your boys.
The key is what ever you do make sure it isn't on some holiday. It's way more romantic when the card says (Because it's Wednesday) instead of (Happy Anniversary...Birthday...Christmas...etc.)
I'm a space freak myself and I'd love it for a guy to surprise me with a nice picnic under in a secluded park where when it gets dark we star gaze and he uses his telescope to point out the star he named after us. And we just lay there together under our star.

I think its best if it actually comes from you- and also the point of amazing romantic gestures is that they are not so often. Don't feel pressure to make a gesture- let it come naturally, not when you think she needs something to make her happy or else everything will become too structured. I think the ring was a lovely and sweet thing to do I just wouldn't want my boyfriend to be constantly coming up with things like that it would become all a bit too much.

You can blow her away in 2 ways:

1> By presenting her with material things when she least expected them.
2> By devoting time to her by taking a week or a day off just for her.

You have to use a surprise element. You have to make her feel like she is the special one once in 3 months only, or as rare as possible.

Certain things which she always wanted in her life, but was never able to get in her life. I am sure that you are the first person in her life who has given her love in the form of Claddagh which she was always yearning for. You need to find out by asking her, her fantasies & things which she considers close to her heart.

Plus, you also need to find certain things out without asking her. i.e. While interacting with her, you will come to know that she likes certain things & you bring it to her & she would ask, "WOW ! how do you know I like this ?". This is the other surprise element.

Since most of the people here have given a generic answer, I want to give you examples with the help of which you can blow her to tears of joy.

The following examples are both of type 1 & type 2 --->

e.g. A diamond/platinum necklace on her birthday. Like, immediately after the birthday party, take her in front of a mirror, ask her to close her eyes, tie the necklace around her neck & then ask her to open her eyes. And immediately after that, plant an affectionate kiss on her forehead for 2 to 3 seconds on her forehead. She will feel like she is in heaven.

e.g. riding in a cruise boat & her standing right at the tip of the boat & you joining her, if you remember that famous scene from the movie "Titanic"

e.g. if she liked paragliding with you & bungie-jumping with you. Both of you should be there together while doing the act. She will feel very secure in your arms while doing the act.

e.g. A trip to the amusement park on an odd day.

e.g. Taking a day off on a working day & taking her to a hill station, where only the 2 of you can be there for a complete 24 hours.

e.g. A secluded river bed where you can watch her bath & play with water.

e.g. You can take her to a place of which she always was curious about, like pyramids of Egypt. She always wanted to know what is there beneath those blocks.

e.g. A teddy bear holding a heart-shaped pillow which reads "because you are so special". Presenting it o her on a not-so-special day.

e.g. If she liked playing a guitar and wanted to sing, present her a guitar on any normal day, give it to her & ask her to play it in front of you.

e.g. Presenting her with a bunch of flowers, all of a sudden.

e.g. Bring a cake to your house, don't inform this to her. Present the cake to her & say "Today was the day when we met for the first time, remember ?". Cut the cake together. Let her hold the knife & then you hold the knife on top of her hand & cut the cake after blowing the candle.

Hope this helps.

sounds like to me she is basically treating this ring as an engagement or even a promise ring. so I think that's what you should do next in a few months time get her a promise rig confess your undying love for her and explain how you promise to keep her in your heart and that you promise you two will be together for a very long time. then after a few months with that ring get her an engaugement ring. by now you two have spend months to years together and its about time to do something about it. now you can have the engagement aslong or short as you want, but I say anywhere between 6months to a year. don't do it too fast as to not know how to plan it correctly to be her dream wedding but also much longer than a year and she starts wondering if you really are gonna go thru with it. then after that comes the wedding ring. so after a period of probly about 2 years you tw are wed and happy and she won't stop smiling for another year then you get to have fun with doing an anniversary for her! to remind her how great it was one year from that day on how you two both confessed your love in front of family and friends. there is no shortage of making her smile when it comes to upgrading the ring slowly and making her think of that day to finaly come.

now if you arnt ready for ring the simple sweet notes left in her car. flowers delivered to her work. little things here and there you don't have to spend much on, but true and sincere from your heart to hers. also one thing its kinda corny but they love it is a dozen red roses but one of them is fake. and tell her your love for her will last until the last rose dies. so just little things here and there. just make sure don't shower her with gifts it will make her uncomfortable and make you feel like ur trying to buy her love. so when ever you get the urge to shower her with gifts. and it hasent been long since ur last gift save it. save the money from it put it in a fund for a larger gift or a shinier gift if you know what I mean =)

Question Asker You clearly just skimmed my question, otherwise you should have noticed the part where I said I am not going to propose to her, and that neither of us are actually ready.

While I like your idea of showering her with gifts I'd rather not. One reason being that I don't want to make it seem like I'm trying to buy her love. Besides, too many gifts will kinda cheapen the whole thing. I'd rather not. The flowers sounds like it might be a good idea from time to time. I may take that under advisement. - 2 months ago

i was going to to say find out in a round about way where she would love to travel out of any place in the world and save some money and plan a vacation for her to that destination. if that doesn't work or 2 expensive maybe make a photo collage with a timeline of all the pictures you have of her and yourself from beginning to end maybe with a cute caption underneath each picture so it brings back memmories or do a quiet weekend trip maybe like at a cabin bring some wood in burn it by the fireplace, snuggle with her after a nice cooked dinner do some skiing and sightseeing and make love to her in front of the fire and just hold her in ur arms and talk the whole night and make love again...i think any girl would like dat.
