We are needing some key information to give a good answer. How long have you been dating? How serious is this? How old is she?...stuff like that. You can never go wrong with some sort of flower arrangement or just one rose. Get a card and WRITE SOMETHING in it, dont just sign it. Write at least one paragraphy but try to fill up one side of the card. Mention when you met, a memorable moment you had, how you plan on spending many other birthdays together and so on. Post back with the needed information and we can go from there

Definitely get a card and write what I told you. As far as the present goes, thats tricky. If shes the type that you cant shop for and is very picky...i would say gift certificate but that sometimes shows that you didnt try. If you have a decent budget get a nice picture frame and put a good pic of the two of you in it. Cant go wrong with some sort of jewelry for an 18 year old. I bought a necklace and bracelet for an ex g/f whenever she was 18. I know it sounds cheesy but a self written poem is nice, especially if you have never done it before. Let me know if you need any other ideas.

I'd take her out to eat at a nice resturant, give her something small, when you get home tie a ribbon around your ....um.... thing, and suprise her. Its amazing what a good laugh from something unexpected does for a woman. It will definatly be memorable.

And yes I am serious not just being stupid. When you want to be stupid do that to an unexpecting friend.

For extra points with the woman, draw a little smiley face on th head. Works every time.

I would steer clear of the White1's recommendation. Although its funny it may not get the right response, unless thats how the two of you are. I dont know. Okay take her to a nice/decent place, my g/f likes Italian. Something that the check would be in the 40-50 dollar range I guess. Anniversaries are when you go to the high dollar places. I would get her a gift card to her favorite store, a card with a good meaningful paragraph, and a single rose with a balloon tied around it.

I will help you out with the card...

Her name,
Happy Birthday. I hope you are having a very special day. For me, I could not imagine being anywhere else than with you. I remember the (special event,ex first date, vacation, 1 year anniversary). It was then I knew I met the person I would spending my life with. Happy 18th birthday!!! I look forward to sharing many more with you.

Love,
Your name

Throw in an I love you somewhere. Thats a rough cut. I dont know how romantic or sentimental you are. Good luck. Need more help just ask.

The card is a good idea, just make sure that whatever you write is from the heart. Tell her how you feel about her, how you feel about the two of you, etc etc. Small things are nice when they mean something. Think back to things she might have said that she could use or something that she needed that she couldn't afford at the moment or didn't have time to pick up. Flowers are a good idea....cliche....but good still. Every girl is different so just think of the things she likes to do. Maybe make a coupon book or something and put things in it like "good for one carwash", "good for one back rub", "good for one random favor", etc....just something that is a loving gesture that means something. As far as a place to eat, pick a place that's decently nice but not too fancy, maybe go back to your first date place or something. Casual but intimate.
