I think it depends on a few things. First, if you do get her something, you should make sure it's something that does not say, "romance," to her. Also, make sure that you are giving it for the right reasons - with no strings attached. In other words, don't give a woman a gift to try to get them to like you because it will only backfire on you. Girls who get gifts from guys who tell them they like them but they do not like the guy in return get very suspicious of anything you would give them because they always end up wondering if you're trying to give it to them to make them like you. It never works! So, if you are going to give her a gift, make sure it's something that doesn't set her alarm bells off in her head as to what your motives are. Flowers, teddy bears, candy, lingerie, etc. are all out of the question for a friend. Also, don't spend a lot of money on her, because that's something else that triggers women's defense mechanisms when it comes to guys that they do not like who like them. Think of something you would give to any friend that they would like. A card, for instance, is one thing that you could get that's inexpensive, you can write something "friendly" in it (not romantic!), and it will show her that you care about her birthday at the same time. (Jewelry is another no-no, by the way!) Maybe you could think of some other things that are not too personal or that do not make her feel uncomfortable, but I would definitely stay away from anything that might make her think "romance," as I said before. At any rate, good luck! :)
