Personally I think homemade stuff is a bit lame, but I might just be a bit of a grumpypants. Depends on the girl, I guess. It's hard to say without knowing her, which you do and we don't. Go with your gut.

For you and your lady's sake, take heed of Beardy's last comment on the figurative level.

Well we aren't dating or anything and I know that these gifts should come from the heart (as in money value is not necessarily the main thing to look for) but I mean I just hope that she doesn't think of me as a cheap-o or anything like that..

I wouldn't worry too much about it being "from the heart", just make sure it's something she'll really like.

If you reckon she'd like it then yeah, but still, I gotta say... sounds cheapo to me. But then you're not trying to shag me (YET), so go with what you reckon she'd think of it.

From the heart is always a good thing. A cheapo to me s a guy that takes me out to dinner and doesn't tip well. It has nothing to do with the gifts he gets. Girls always know if a gift is from the heart, or if it was specifically bought/made because it was cheap.

I had an ex that went to Singapore a lot, and would bring me back the shittiest of gifts. I knew he was only getting me things because he felt he HAD to, so he went with the cheapest possible stuff, stuff he knew I would never wear. But I couldn't complain because he DID get me something. Does that make any sense?

Anyway, from the way you're talking, I think she'll know it's a gift from the heart. I don't think you'll have anything to worry about. You sound a lot nicer than my ex! All-in-all, go with your gut as Beardy says.

Awesome advice from you guys, thanks =] I teased her with a picture of it in a small pouch and she is excited about it so fingers crossed the next time I see her.

A picture of us? Sure I will get on that whenever I can. I can just imagine the questions she will have. "What's with the camera?" "To show my internet forum chums how awesome we are!"

A picture FOR us!! Of the jewelry you're making! But also a picture of you two if you wish I've grown curious of this lucky lady!

Hah if you look at my pictures I posted on the forums (I think two total) then you will see she is crazy to like me XD
Anyways here is a photo of the necklace.



And by homemade I do not mean it was made by me but by one of my moms friends who has been beading for quite a long time.

That's pretty! I would totally rock that.

Yeah I am hoping she likes it, thanks for the confidence boost. If someone likes it then hopefully she will too.

Hell's bells, that's a nice necklace - She can only like it

If a girl wants to buy me a gift she better buys me a video game.

I love them video games.
