What do girls prefer to receive gifts from? Christmas or BDays

[DrThots]

 Right... next week is one of my friend's birthday. She is a female and I'm a male (Not sure If that matter much) and I like her. I bought a dolphin ornament, like those glass ones but I dont know what to get her for Christmas. I was told to give her a bracelet as a casual thing to get a bit closer and then give her a glass dolphin ornament in Christmas. What should I do? Give her the ornament now or get her something smaller? Then give the ornament to  her on Christmas? It's a Swarvoski Glass Dolphin

A gift is a gift, I as a 'girl' don't really think it matters the order? Besides which date is more meaningful will vary from person to person, I dislike my birthday as an 'event' so to me xmas would be better for the most impacting gift.

 

Then again like I said this is up to each person.

Would you think someone giving you a christmas card a dull present? Especially when you are a teenager (13) from a boy who you know likes you

Well, a Christmas card is a bit pointless to me personally, then again at such young age it might as well be an appropriated way of showing care.

 

Good intentions usually value enough to doing something be worth it.

What would you like as a christmas present

[Guest]

In my experience, the gesture counts more than the present. It lets the other person know that you remembered and you went through the effort.

 

And I agree with @Princess Cadence in the sense that Christmas is more of an impacting and lasting thing than a birthday to be honest.

 

But the choice is yours at the end of the day.

 

Good luck!

Generalizing all girls is a very good way to start boi. 

 

 

 

Edit:

What I learned after several years with my girl is that doing stuff together as a gift is usually better than some thing that will collect dust in a shelf and be forgotten soon.

I'm 23 years old, so about 10 years older than you and your crush, my interests are quite different than what you're used to yet heheh, I doubt taking my word on this is of any help.

 

I wish you good luck though [:

You like her right? Do you like her for her personality or for how she looks?

 

I am hoping it is because of who she is as a person. So if you know her and are friends with her, just try to remember something you guys talked about. 

 

Women don't always like jewelry, albeit it's never a bad thing.

Stop playing the bench.

 

Ask her out.  Women prefer confidence to lurkers.  They LOVE having lurkers around however.

 

Until now I have read your name as Dr. Thots (That Hoe Over Theres) and figured you knew what you were doing already

Oh man. So many mistakes. You can't ask what girls like and assume it's the same for every girl, because it's really not. Everyone is different. I mean, you know she likes dolphins (I assume, since you got it), so that's a good start. Just talk to her. Get a feel for what she's lacking in her life, or something that would make something she does easier. Hell, homemade things are always good; a small token, or cookies.

 

Do not purchase things to get closer to her.

 

Honestly I wouldn't get a bracelet or anything unless you're dating. It's kind of...strong. Though, at that age, who knows. Might be endearing for her.

 

Does she celebrate Christmas? While it's a widespread religious holiday, it's important to remember that not everyone celebrates it. For that reason I'd say the birthday would be better. Unless you know she does indeed celebrate it.

 

Also, most importantly...does she know you like her?

^ This is totally true.

It largely depends on the person, as well. If she likes you, even small gestures will be more meaningful. Even bringing someone their favorite drink can mean the world to them.

I thought girls liking ponies was one of the few universal truths?

Haha, not always. Some just think they're super creepy.

I've always done well from the bench

I'm not a girl, but honestly, it's the thought that matters... and Christmas cards are pretty good at expressing the thought. I would be weary of buying her costly gifts and jewelry, it can come off as weird if you go overboard (and your finances shouldn't really be of any relevance, especially at your age).

Guys, he's 13...

 

I would say take it easy and don't worry too much about it. If it works, it works - if not, there's no hurry.

This! do not try to buy her affection.

 

Get something that will be meaningful to her as you will know her better than us, but don't get her something that would normally be seen as a gift that a boyfriend would give a girlfriend ie Jewelry.

 

Does she like dolphins? get her the ornament

But then what should I get her for Christmas?  If I am giving it to her for her birthday

She is Christian so I'm pretty certain they celebrate Christmas

what does she like? hobbies?

 

Again it needs to be something meaningful not just generic girl gift that might not even be wanted/used

She likes saving animals and cats and all those sorts. She's also vegetarian and a very nice, gentle and innocent girl. Hence why I like her 

[EPENEX]

Buy her a Casio F-91w. It's nearly a perfect watch, but since it's only $10 the bad points can be excused.
