I need to get my girlfriend's Christmas present!

My girlfriend and I are both buying each other rings for Christmas... there's only one catch: we're going to surprise each other with what they are. That's alright for her as I know she'll get something nice, but I want to get her something she'll like!

I really need to buy online as I've got a really low budget (and she'd kill me if I spent too much).. we're talking peanuts as far as jewellary goes. I'd really like to get one of these as they're both going to be as promise rings, but they're based in the US and won't take my debit card. And they're actually a tonne more expensive than I can really afford.. right at the outer limits.

She likes titanium, silver, white gold and doesn't want anything too fancy and nothing pink, etc.

Has anyone got any ideas? I've trawled Google for hours and I'm still not really getting anywhere!

Re: I need to get my girlfriend's Christmas present!

Not Argos, no no no. An Elizabeth Duke box would be just so wrong

Put your money on the Euromillions tonight and it could be a gorgeous Tiffany ring for her

Re: I need to get my girlfriend's Christmas present!

You could always try here.

http://www.scotch-corner.co.uk/celti...cfm?items=1703

English based company and seem to do a similar thing to what you were looking at in comparable UK prices.

Good hunting. I'm sure you'll find something nice.

AND she'll adore whatever you get.

DO NOT go to Argo, no girl would appreciate a tatty elizabeth duke box. If your near or in a major city such as Manchester, have a look in jewellery shop windows, i.e old established jewellers,not your high street chains,they often have good quality rings which have been sold to them or otherwise not collected etc..you will also get a nice box!

Every girl loves the sight of a fur box...
