What to buy my girlfriend? First gay relationship, please help me!

[TheOnlyMatriarchThereIs]

She loves Star Wars, but doesn't want to do a day out in London to see star wars stuff.
She loves dogs but doesn't own one.

She is amazing at organising days out and stuff for us to do.

She hates receiving presents of any kind, doesn't want a Christmas present, and yet she has got me one.

Please help a girl out, what do I get my girlfriend for Christmas?? I really want to get this right.

Make something sentimental?
A photo collage of you together.
A photo canvas print of a special place.

Have you got a budget?

If she doesn't want lots of "stuff" a weekend away is lovely if you can afford.

High budget: Disneyland Paris and obviously include star wars but.
Low budget: get a pair of those Disney star wars hairband ear things from vinted, star wars blanket and star wars themed nibbles and movie night.
Jedi dressing gown went down well with dh but I'm assuming she already has one haha.

Book? I’d get something consumable if she hates presents. What’s her favourite drink or food?

She hates receiving presents. So respect her wishes and don't get her one!

Get tickets to a gig or a show or theme park or attraction. I've no idea why "first gay relationship" is relevant. Why has she bought you a present when she doesn't like receiving presents? Weird.

Are awkward to buy for gay people different to awkward to buy for straight people?

Star Wars date night? Popcorn, wine, star Wars PJs, any Star Wars themed food etc...

Dog experience day? Working sheepdog or husky sleigh ride.

Donation to a charity (dog rescue)?

Gig / cinema tickets, nice hotel or spa trip?

She doesnt want anything! Get her a meal out somewhere at a later date.

Yeah I also wasn't sure about that bit!

I am a. Star Wars geek and love some of the concept art on displate

DS also got me a pop figure of my favourite character.

There is SO MUCH potential in the Star Wars thing. If it was me I’d buy a t shirt with Star Wars stormtroopers in the style of Van Gogh, eg this one

Another idea is a photo printed on canvas, not of the two of you (too cheesy!) but of a place that’s special to both of you ev where you met or first kissed or just a park bench you both like. You can download great photos for free or buy from a site like Shutterstock.

No one really ‘hates getting presents’ they’re just fed up of getting crap presents.

Sponsor a Dog charity, Battersea Dogs Home?

A dog a day calendar?
Organise a Borrow my doggy session?

Adopt a needy animal? I don't think you can do this for dogs but donkeys or elephants always go down well

@wjpa that looks brilliant

Tickets for a gig or theatre
Do Star Wars do a convention like Star Trek?
Framed photo of the two of you?
Gay or straight is irrelevant

Maybe a cheap little thing like her favourite food, to show you care first. In combination with:
Scheduling a Star Wars marathon and being super up for it?
A “voucher” in the form of a promise to have a couple activity whenever she fancies it?
it’s the thought that counts isn’t just a cliché. It’s not how expensive it is.

I think the best thing would be a conversation along the lines of I know you said you did not want a present but I really want to get you something. I would feel bad if I get sometjing from you otherwise.

Homemade stuff… crafts, baking, gift card to her favourite restaurant, cinema or music subscription for one year…
