Back in the old days we would give the girl a lovely gold round bracelet. (costume of course) Of course that might mean something today, I've lost touch.

I have the same situation. I got my son's girlfriend a really adorable pocket book from Bath & Body Works with some smelly stuff in it.

Maybe some candles and a gift certificate, that way she gets something other then a certificate and she can pick out something herself too. Good Luck

How about a nice watch, or locket with their pictures in it.

I am going to give my son's 24 year old girlfriend the gift box of perfumes from Victoria's Secret for Christmas. It is an assortment of eight perfumes. I think it is a very feminine gift and one more than likely not to be returned. That and a nice Christmas tree ornament for their tree.

I like the idea of the additional tree ornament and one you can carry on each year.

i think a nice basket from bath and body works all wrapped up pretty speaks of something - to that i would add a dated ornament. i don't think you can go wrong with this.
i think a gift card is a little impersonal, but that's just me.

If it were me, I'd check with my son. There might be a book that she has been wanting for a long time, or maybe a CD. Did you know that the CD players are low costing?

Go look at all the wonderful electronic gifts the stores have this year. Wonderful things.

How about cell-phone time.

A certificate, plus a pretty Christmas tin filled with fruites, candies, or nuts.

Several quick food eating places have gift cards and food credit cards with a set amount of money.

My husband picked up a (pretty) toaster that cooks eggs-toast-frozen cooked sausage all at the same time. Makes an Egg McMuffin. They are called "Back to Basics" and can be found just about every where this year such as Target, WalMart, etc. Very popular with college kids and are the most sold gifts this year as per a report.

Thanks all! Great ideas!!!

Do you think a sterling silver necklace set is out of line?

I would give her a pair of theater or concert tickets, or a museum membership. The ornament idea is poor because it's a permanent reminder of something that may not be permanent..

A fake fur throw! I bought one for my grandson's GF last year, and whenever I visit she's wrapped up in it on the couch. Target has a very nice variety.

Thank you patty_cakes42 for the fake fur throw idea.

I’m interested to know if she’s still in the family! I’m in that season of life now and I recognize this thread is old...but...

LOL. Maybe old. But still VERY relevant. Good ideas. Actually, kind of validating- a couple of my ideas. But love the the furry blanket idea!

Good idea. I'm trying to decide if I can give my son's girlfriend a blanket engraved 'to my daughter-in-law.'
