DISQUS

I agree that miscommunication and misunderstanding of exactly what is wanted is often the case.

To paraphrase what has already been mentioned:
"don't want anything" usually means "don't want you to BUY me anything"
"don't want anything" does NOT mean "don't want you to do anything at all"

My girlfriend saves all the cards I have given her, even ones I think are trivial. So yes, a little can go a long way.

@Michael
It certainly sounds like "playing games" to me, although she may or may not be doing it intentionally. I guess the question really comes down to whether you are willing to put up with it.
If you're being tormented by this, you may be better off just telling her point blank what you want or where you want the relationship to head towards, and try getting a yes/no answer about how she really feels. It's hard thing to come out and say, but it'll save you a lot of time spent confused and in doubt.

Wow, that Light Tobacco Brown messenger bag looks awesome, especially with all the natural markings on it!

Travel Tip?
Hmm... I'd say, try and figure out everything you will for your trip, make a list, and then try really hard to cut that list in half. You'll end up with a lot less junk and hopefully will be able to make do at your destination.

Oooh, I can give it to my girlfriend if I win. Not like I'm implying anything about her brushing habits. Christmas is about giving afterall. : P
