Lez Ask the Femme: What Should I Get My Crush For Her Birthday?

It was my birthday this weekend! Sooooo in honor of me being old, today we are going to tackle this very timely question: finding the perfect birthday present for that special girl in your life. It’s hard, women are picky and generally you are going to have to read her mind in order to make her happy! A birthday kiss isn’t going to do the trick. So lets get to it girls:

Dear Femme,
Well I decided that I would ask a beautiful femme like yourself what I should get the perfect femme for her birthday. I happen to live extremely far away, and come from a totally different lifestyle. It’s making it very confusing on what she would like or if she would be like “wtf is this crap?!” I know she wants shoes….but honestly I wouldn’t even know where to began on that since we normally wear boots around here, and i know that wont fly for Miss NYC. I even thought about a couple funky colored horse figurines, but that is just dumb. I would really like to send her something that she doesn’t have around there. Can you give me some tips on what I should get?? Because I’m about to send her some chaps (they have no butt in them which makes this a funny haha type of thing) and some riding boot house shoes and call it good!

Thanks,
Stuck in the Mud

Hey Stuck,

Hmm that IS a difficult problem. Birthday gifts are always hard to pick out and buying shoes or clothes for someone is usually a nightmare of exchanging and hurt feelings. Unless the item is lingerie, that’s always a great gift for a femme. It’s the kind of thing she doesn’t want to spend too much money on herself because it’s frivolous and frivolous is totes the best kind of birthday present.

On the other hand, sending her something specific to your region sounds like a great idea! I think the funky colored horses sound really cute. Even the most jaded New York City girl wouldn’t think they were dumb if they were sent by someone who wanted to share their culture (ahem and maybe something else?) with her. Maybe there is a specific type of art or craft that is popular where you live that she would appreciate. In Charleston basketweaving and grass woven flowers are created by natives and are sold all over the city, but you can’t get them anywhere else. In Arizona you can get pottery made with horse hair baked in (it looks a lot prettier than it sounds.) Any girl would appreciate such a thoughtful gift.

Good luck impressing your girl, Stuck!
