i was just wondering if any body had done anything nice for their girlfriends for their birthday that they particularly liked. cool it dude.
it would help to know how old you both are - where you see the relationship going, how long you have been going out, what you have gotten her before, what your price range is - details man, details
ok, im a sopmore and she is a freshman. we have only been dating for about three months now so i dont plan on spending a huge amount of money but i want to get her something nice. her fav colors are pink and black if that helps anything, she likes music (rock), bands like rolling stones or aerosmith and some newer bands. she loves animals, she likes sports, she likes movies.
Something homemade. I'm talking masculine arts and crafts. Are you good with wood? Carve something.
I'd be happy with a box of chocolates and a bunch of flowers (preferrably not fake, though). It's more of the thought that really counts - a card could also work, but it's just a card... if you got me all three, I'd love ya forever. 
are you talking high school or college when you say freshman and sophomore?
anything that shows you thought about it for more than 10 seconds is usually a good start

teddy bear?
not sure if they have these anymore, but two years ago this one girl at my high school got this talking bear with a barry white-type voice for her anniversary.
...and now that couple is married. i think. not sure if they still are. lol.
but that could be a safe bet.

Three months and you STILL don't know ANYTHING that she likes. Shoes, books, CD's, anything.
Triple Tsk!!

How about turning her on to some new music she may not know about. From the VERY short list of Music she's into (and because IMO they are VERY under-rated and FANTASTIC albums..) I would suggest:
Morning Wood: Fantastic acoustic rock album, great playing, great vocals, 5 originals and the rest are classic rock covers (Eagles, Nazareth, etc) Plus it's a cool subliminal band name!!!

Westworld: Same Vocalist (Tony Harnell also from TNT, but they might not be her thing) Great Rock Band. Any or all of their CDs:
Westworld {ST}: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...45443/sr=ka-3/ref=pd_ka_3/002-9638573-5496020

Cyberdream: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...45443/sr=ka-2/ref=pd_ka_2/002-9638573-5496020
I'm sure others can suggest others or if you can give us some others she listens to. I think (and my wife agrees) that there is no greater gift than being turned on to music you've never heard of before.

Or you could take her out to dinner.
