text: Hey you cannot really argue against material gifts (i.e. flowers, chocolate, electronics, special clothing items, jewelry, watches, movie, dinner, etc.) – especially personalized stuff.    If you can afford it, give her as many as you can.   But remember the basic rule:  It’s usually better to give one really cool/classy gift than 2 or 3 “cheap” ones.   However, to stand out, make a real impression and go above and beyond the crowd you MUST give her an emotionally romantic gift too.    I leave it up to you to think what would be more appropriate in this case; after all, no one knows her as well as you do.    But if you want my opinion, I would suggest you hold her hands close to your heart, look deep into her pretty eyes and just say something to the effect like:  “I AM NUTS ABOUT YOU”.    A word of caution:  If you don’t really feel it do NOT say it (unless of course you are a darn good actor!)    By the way, I’m specifically using the word “NUTS” here since, at your still tender age of 17, saying phrases like I LOVE YOU in the above context might just come across as a bit too strong, intimidating and/or pretentious.
