Creative birthday present for girlfriend? Wanted it to be original and personal. Have a couple ideas but thought I could come here for inspiration or to refine.

Nothing more original and personal than a graded feedback session. Let her know it’s either up or out.

Was thinking of making a report card for her and failing her in every category. Good to know someone agrees

Im very bad at gift giving, but one thing I’ve found my girlfriend to love is that I take her to the mall, and give her 2K for her to spend on whatever she wants. This way we both get to spend the day together, and she can get whatever she wants and likes. We always have a good time, doing this, as she likes to model the clothes she tries on 😂😂 and asks me for my opinion on how they look

Practical gift - nice water bottle or mug with stickers, keychains etc that are inside jokes, memories or similar
Splurge - Plan a day or weekend trip to a location not too far away that you both haven’t been to (3 hours max has worked for me). Include dinner res and spa. Time together is priceless 🙂

Also, is there a music artist or tv show she enjoys? Search Etsy to see what you can find on there. For example, if she likes Star Wars then just search that on Etsy to see what Star Wars themed stuff is out there

One I just did for my partner was a ‘murder mystery night’. I bought a game called Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, which is basically set of cases with a series of clues and you have to solve the mysteries. I thrifted a bunch of old timey candle sticks and holders, bought props off of Amazon (pipe, fake pearls, velvet tablecloth, satin robes, fake bow tie for our dog, etc.) so we could work by candlelight and feel more thematic. Found a detective playlist on Spotify for ambiance. It’s fun because the game pushes you to communicate better and play off of each other without phones, TV, and other external stuff.

Also got them a bath bomb to use while I was setting up to make it a whole date night experience.

Also love a planned day - lunch and their favorite food/snack + local attraction (I.e., aquarium), buying something they’ve been noodling on getting but haven’t yet, and home comfort gifts (SKIMS fuzzy robe, nice house slippers, idk Squishmallows if she’s into that, oil diffuser, etc)

Maybe a 90-day script for Xanax? If you work at Pw then she’ll have to put up with you - might as well make it somewhat enjoyable for her too

During covid I made a birthday video for my gf which had all her friends create a birthday message video, with myself adding in a little happy birthday and other stuff at the end

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report. I will read it without actually reading it. This results in spending time without actually retaining info. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
