Sealed with love
If you've never written her a letter, start here. It arrives sealed, so the message preview in the chat gives nothing away — she taps the wax to break it and your words are inside, in handwriting.

Gifts for your girlfriend that aren't flowers
Made in about ten minutes, sent as a link, and nothing to sign for.
The trouble with buying for a girlfriend is that the obvious options are things she could buy herself, and the good ones need a week's notice. Flowers arrive, get photographed, and are in the bin by Thursday.
What survives is anything with her name in it and something of yours in it too — a letter you actually wrote, photos she hasn't seen since the day you took them, a question you've been too shy to ask out loud.

What suits your girlfriend
Photo album
Ten photos with a line written under each. Choose the unremarkable ones — the kitchen, the delayed train, the bad haircut. The posed ones are the ones she's already seen.
Cup guessing game
Three cups and a question, with your answer under whichever one she lifts. Put something real under there: "Are we going away in October?", with the booking already made.
Nested surprise boxes
Five boxes, each inside the last, with your letter at the bottom. It takes her a couple of minutes to get through, and the couple of minutes is the gift.
What to actually write
- Name one specific night rather than "all our memories" — the evening the plan collapsed works better than the one that went right
- Write how you talk. If you'd never say "my dearest" out loud, she'll hear that you didn't
- Four hundred characters is the letter limit, and it's enough for one true thing said properly
- Send the link on its own. Explaining the gift in the message underneath it undoes most of the surprise
