Get her a trip to a health spa or something...

It depends on the person, if you get her something personal she may love it, if it's something she's interested in it could just sound stupid to everyone else.

How long have ye been goin out?

It'd be nice to get her something she'd find interesting or that she's wanted for a long time.

Me personally I have weird tastes for a girl of my age hehe!
SO if someone gave me a batman T-Shirt or some comics i'd be chuffed but my mates would turn their noses up at something like that. For instance I got a Transformers lunchbox for my birthday last year and it's the best thing ever but my mates were givin out sayin it was stupid and immature of me to like things like that.

So I got them book vouchers....

Bout 8 months, i know, i know i should know what she likes, but she has no hobbies what so ever, dosent wear jewelery, and she gets perfume on the cheap from work. CD's music Movies ect, with my broadband connection i supply her with those for free (and what does she give ME in return??? eh)

She's just your typical girl (i dont mean that in a bad way)

Get her a voucher for Nails Inc in Brown Thomas where she can go and get a manicure of whatver she wants and feel pampered while everyone looks on in envy!

Or

if you know what clothes size she is they have cute "days of the week" pants in Next, and each day you can check to see if she's wearing the right pants!! (i personally love that idea)

Check out the antique shops in Powerscourt, they have loads of lovely stuff and it's always nice to own something thats old.

You might have to stretch all the way to the hundred earth euros or maybe a bit more though.
