Problem is, she isn't really into much as she works a lot, so its making it difficult.

Clothes voucher and some autobiogs are the best i've come up with thus far

Get her another job

bit of lunch, bit of shopping, dinner in t' evening. jobs a good un.

you could take her to asda, nice restraunt, great clothes and do the weekly shop while you,re at it, sorted

Option 1 (if you can cook):

Cook her a nice meal.
Get yourself a decent plain tablecloth, some candle-holders or tea-lights, a rose or some flowers, get the good crockery/cutlery out. Get a good bottle of wine/champagne (if you're really skint, Asda Cava Brut will do LOL).

Switch the lights off ... light the candles, and have a wonderful candlelit dinner for two in your own "new" home

It won't be THAT expensive and a lot of effort/thought will have gone into it.
Even better, if you have the time (and she's not about) bake her a birthday cake!! It might not be the best, but it will be homemade and it will have had that extra "secret" ingredient of LOVE - something they don't put in those "off the shelf" ones

Option 2 (if you REALLY can't cook):
Buy her a copy of Singstar (plus mic's) and half a dozen bottles of Lambrini ...
Your very own pi$$ed up karaoke night without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home

Better still, secretly invite some friends around to laugh and take photos

Option 3:
Shot glass chess?

Option 4:

Shes not a girly girl at all. Shes a manly girl, but still likes all the cute type **** you girls like. Shes not into makeup, pampering sessions or anything like that.

I've taken her out shopping and said "buy anything you want, i'll say when to stop" as well.

She knows i've not got much money, and i always get a nice card. Flowers may help, but again, something thats been done plenty of times before.

See why im having so many troubles.

As for marrage, gimmie a break...

Trade her in for a less troublesome model.

Or how about a dirty weekend in Folkstone?

Done the meal and candles plenty of times already in this house.

We don't really drink.

Going to look at the gift ideas now. Already been viewing "iwantoneofthose.com" as well.

Dump her, get a new GF and then you will have ideas for the next 7 years!!

Well if nothing else ... this will have her laughing ... and at least it might make her forget what a sh*t birthday present it is ...

EDIT: assuming she's not got a girly-girly sense of humour she should be able to get countless hours amusement from this item

Ohhhh this post has given me an idea?

Day trip to France? Go and see all the war tunnels and such, she likes all that kinda stuff (me too). Spend a day mincing along the coastal walks?

Ladies, good idea ish? £18 return is a blinder, can go on at 8am (leave) and come back on the 8pm ferry?

Not done a day trip before, is that enough time to mince about?

Anyone got any brain ticklers I can think about?

Anyone know what the latest kasabian album is?

get her a tail tidy for a bandit.
