OK then here goes.. Its the little, trivial things that matter the most and will be remembered. Sit back and think about things the 2 of you have done together. Things you have talked about. Stories she has told you. Try to remember some little details that most people wouldnt remember.
Is she the extravagent type or does she prefer the simple things in life. Does she like partying or does she prefer just spending quality time with one or a few people she cares about. What kind of food does she like? What kind of dessert?
Do you think she would like an expensive dinner date? Or maybe going out for ice cream? Pizza? Pick up her favorite dessert, even if its just a cupcake or cookie and stick a candle in it.
Does she like animals? Nature? What are her other interests other than her team? If you really think about it you can come up with something sweet and simple that she will remember.
Im a bit biased because Im the type that prefers the simple things. I had an ex that was not particularly lovable or romantic but he always rememberd what made me smile. It was not uncommon for me to be surprised at the end of my day with a small handfull of picked wildflowers. Or Id get a call at home to come to his work and rescue and injured animal or bird. Or Id be surprised by being taken out somewhere I hadnt been in years. Be it a place to eat, or a museum, or a summer event such as an indian pow wow or a car show.
So just remember the little things she likes. Most people dont like being made a spectical on their birthdays. Big over blown birthdays can sometimes be a bit unnerving or even embarrassing.
