I’m thinking of surprising the woman I’ve been seeing for exactly a year with a gift the next time we meet. What do you think about a necklace featuring her birthstone?

For the women here, what kinds of gifts would you be happy to receive?

There’s a big difference between someone you’ve met once a week for a year and someone you’ve only met once a month, after all.
I think it’s best to ask them directly about the gift. Even if you give it to them, there’s no guarantee they’ll be happy with it.

If you still don’t know what she likes after a year, you’re better off giving up on surprises.
Trying to figure out her preferences now would seem unnatural, so the best option is simply to go shopping together.
Ideally, you’d casually learn her tastes during the first month or two and successfully surprise her with small items. Then, for an anniversary, you could try going for a home run. But without a track record of those smaller surprise gifts, that would be far too risky. You should at least know her favorite brand…

I also think women from clubs would be perfectly happy to receive everyday items as surprises. It doesn’t have to be jewelry or something extravagant.

I think everyone wants different things. So it might be best to ask her what she wants, or go shopping together next time.
If you want it to be a surprise, you’ll have to find a way to subtly figure out what she wants.

I think the best option is to go shopping together with the woman you’re seeing. If you can’t go out together, the safest bet—and the option she’ll appreciate most—is to ask her directly which one she’d like!
Everyone has different tastes and things they want, after all. What I want may not be what the woman you’re seeing wants.
Personally, I’d choose a Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra without hesitation! lol

I agree with Aya. Unless you were born in April—or at least in May, July, or September, which have more valuable birthstones—you’re probably thinking, “Why is my birthstone like this?” In other words, you wouldn’t be happy to receive it.
If you’re spending the same amount anyway, I think it’s better to ask what they actually want rather than go for a surprise, so they can genuinely enjoy it. If you’ve been together for a year, I think it’s fine to be upfront about the budget too.

Jewelry really reflects a woman’s personal taste, so I strongly recommend avoiding surprises.
A man I used to see gave me necklaces as surprise gifts several times, but honestly, all of them had very dated designs—or were just not my style. Unfortunately, I wasn’t happy to receive them… Sorry.
Birthstone necklaces are especially tricky. Diamond might be fine for someone born in April, but I’m not so sure about the other months.
The best thing to do is ask her directly.

I’m sure she’d be happy with a birthstone necklace, but she might be even more satisfied if you went shopping together and let her choose one.
