    NO perfume and NO vouchers...

    Your asking for trouble if you go those ways... Very impersonal.

    If you dont have time to go away, why not take her and buy her a designer bag or purse in Brown Thomas, or your nearest alternative?
    Juicy Couture? Gucci? Can't go wrong with those two names.

    What's the sense in getting her something she likes? It ain't a surprise that way. In my opinion a hot air balloon trip or something similar helicopter ride you know what I mean, if you choose either of the above or something similar beforehand you should take her on a picnic, girls adore picnics mate, find it really romantic and especially intimate, going out for a meal is a load of chite, people all around you, no real intimacy especially for a special event so find a cool place for a picnic and during the picnic let her know that in about an hour you have a surprise for her and turn up for the hot air balloon for example. You can't go wrong.

    Definitely weekend away. Who doesn't like a weekend away in fairness. I am all for experience presents rather than objects as people can buy their own stuff but are less likely to randomly surprise themselves with a holiday. Make it really exciting and special though. Surprise her. Rope a family member/ housemate/friend in to pack a bag for her - or else just tell her to pack a bag and meet you somewhere random so that she has no idea where she is going and then you whisk her off to the airport/train station.

    I have done this for people a few times and had it done for me and honestly there is nothing more exciting or romantic. I tend to take it very seriously and spend the week or two leading up to it providing clues as to what the present is going to be - but very obscure stuff that will never lead to a correct guess just to prolong the mystery.

    Unless she has expressed a frustrated lifelong desire for hot air ballooning, don't do it. I found it to be the most boring waste of money ever and am still bitter about it!
