Q: What's a special gift to buy, in China, for a Chinese girl?

I want to go out and find a special gift for my Chinese girlfriend's birthday. I've managed to pull it off for a couple of years, but given my limited Chinese language skills, it's becoming harder and harder.

No need to be expensive.You could have  a creative gift made to order on taobao,there are many for choosing.You can have your photo and what you want to say to her on the gift,not expensive,but it can show her your love.http://s.taobao.com/search?spm=a230r.1.8.13.9e3f44&q=%B4%B4%D2%E2%C0%F1%C6%B7%B5%EA&initiative_id=tbindexz_20120914&commend=all&ssid=s5-e&newpre=null&bcoffset=1&sort=sale-desc#J_Filter

Createach:

and they say Chinese are not cheap and romantic?!!!!!............Seriously being cheap gets you a bit more creative in some cases and this is one of them...............Thumbs up

Write her a Chinese letter if she is NOT materialistic.

 

Buy her a LV stuff if she is materialistic. LV is the golden rules for Chinese women.lol

let me tell you something, so many chinese girls have this misconception that that love is measured by how much a man spends on her, either way be careful you dont want her to always expect expensive gifts

Anything from Apple is probably a safe bet.

Can't Buy Me Love - The Beatles 

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

 

but people still like gifts !  u should have an idea by now what she is into... then there is the budget thing ....  

big budget - Jewelry

med. budget - Designer accessory (Hermes, Chanel, LV)

avg. budget - trendy electronics   

Lo budget - gift from the 'heart'.  flowers maybe

i made this mistake ones but after that bammm  ! i never bought any gift for Chinese girls but i got a lot gifts after changing my foreign policy with them. zoo town as Chinese put it by them self [ love your money, its the best thing to love in china]. so better do as Chinese do . buy a gift but never so expensive which can give you a big gap in your monthly budget.

my girlfriend got me a photo album for my last birthday with pictures from our travels, not very expensive, but when i got it i was so moved. (she was away for my birthday so when she came over before she left she hid it in my apartment and when my birthday came around the next week, i was so sad that i wouldn't see her. she called me and gave me clues to where it was. and she wrote me a letter that said how much she loves me.) I have never bought her expensive things, love isn't something that can be bought (unless you like "those girls" you know what i'm talking about)
