For guys, finding the absolute perfect present for your girl can be a very hard job. This job is only made more difficult if you don't have a lot of money to spend, and you're working on a tight budget. You want her to have the perfect something she's always wanted, something romantic and thoughtful. She means a lot to you, and you want to show her that she's special to you. We always tend to think of jewelry first when we think of romantic presents, but maybe she already has all the jewelry she wants, or you just can't afford any. It may seem impossible to find the perfect gift, but you're in luck! The truth is, getting her that special something only requires a little bit of thought and some creativity. Women want things that remind them of special times, or better yet, gifts that create them. Here are a few such gifts that work on literally any budget!

Most of us only give gift baskets to co-workers or family members that we don't see very often, but the concept of the gift basket actually gives you a great opportunity to make something special. You can create a perfect, personalized present for your certain someone, and the price tag is literally up to you. You're going to have to include the necessities, such as ornate flowers and your girl's favorite chocolates, but the goal here is to give her something special, something that you obviously put time and effort into. For starters, including a sweet love letter is always a great idea, and adds a wonderful romantic atmosphere to your basket. Also, to take it further, try and personalize the basket just for her by including little things that appeal to her tastes. Perhaps a gift card or two to her favorite stores, some little trinkets, or maybe even a book she's been wanting. The point is that this gift basket has endless possibilities, and is a perfect opportunity for you to show how well you know her!

One extremely romantic and loving gift you can give her, that will also take a little time and effort on your part, is the memory box. Every girl wants to know how much you love the times you've spent together, and here is where you can put that to good use! Think back on all the wonderful, special moments and memories you've shared together, and start finding little gifts that will remind her of these moments. Maybe you visited the beach on your honeymoon. – Find some pretty shells, pearls, or pictures. You can put pictures, decorated or plain, in the box as well, really anything you want that you think she'll find romantic. And remember to find a beautiful box to put these all in! Any local craft store usually will have all sorts of interesting and pretty boxes for projects like these. The key here is to create something that will always remind her of all the beautiful memories you share.

Another fun and great idea is the movie night. – Everybody loves huddling in for the night and watching movies, and everybody also knows how romantic they can be! Go out and find some movies that she loves or has always wanted to see. – You can make a theme out of it (Drama, horror, etc.) or just find random movies you know she loves! Get her some yummy, nice popcorn, and throw in some of her favorite movie candies. Top that off with a pretty, soft throw blanket and you've got the perfect gift for a movie night for the two of you! Turn off the lights, pop in your movie, and you've got a romantic night for two that came from your special gift!

My very favorite of these ideas combines new-age technology with old-style romance. Have you ever seen those little USB flash drives? They're neat little devices that store files and things for you that are completely portable, so you can transfer information from computer to computer. – Very handy. This may come as a surprise to you, but you can turn this little gadget into an extraordinarily romantic gift. Find her the perfect flash drive (They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, designs, ect. So you're sure to find the one that suits her best!) and open it up. Go into your computer and type her up a romantic note or poem. Find pictures of you together and other fun little things she'd like. You can also, in addition, buy her another present. – Maybe dinner for two at a nice restaurant, tickets to a play, whatever, and write up an "invite" to put in her flash drive as well! Be unique and fun with it, and place all of these files on her flash drive. Then find a nice box and wrap it up real pretty. – She's going to open it thinking you merely got her a useful little gadget, completely unknowing of the romantic gift that lay inside!

What women really want more than anything else for Christmas can only be found with thought, love, and some ingenuity. Money can do a lot, but nothing will tell her how much you love her than a special gift that shows her just how much she means to you. Take the time to come up with something creative, or use one of the ideas above! Put your heart into it, and you're sure to impress her on Christmas morning.
