What about a 3night break in Manchester along with tickets for a Man U v Man City game? She definitely wouldn't be expecting that.

Whatever you do, get her a bottle of this too, only 27 spuds at the min and much, much nicer than Moet or any of it's other rivals.

In O'Briens it comes in a gold foil type wrapper and looks pretty cool as a present.

Hot-air balloon ride
Parachute jump

Paris is a bit of a rip-off. You'd be better going somewhere cheaper and more original, and with whatever money left-over give it to her to go shopping and blow it on whatever shes in to. It will make the trip more enjoyable for her anyway.

Berlin is a really good spot.

Know a few couples who have got all in weekend deals to New York for €495 PP with them.

However, you don't need to go with them.

GoHop have deals also:

http://www.gohop.ie/2828/American-Holidays/New-York-Winter-Break-3-or-4-nights/holiday.html

Might push the budget, but you can just live on Hot Dogs and stroll around Central Park

I don't know weather you're taking the piss or what?

Venice is a great city.
See here.
It gets number one for a romantic break and great reviews every where else, too.

I know I am butting in here a bit late sorry'd but it doesnt have to be all about spending as much or more than she spent on you (unless she is extremly that way) tis just silly she might have decided to just treat you that time or was thinking early ahead of time which is quite clever of her...

What kinda stuff is she into or what places
