I know this isn't really a sexuality question, but its about a relationship, so I figured this was the most fitting place to post this. I appoligize in advance if I am wrong.

My g/f's birthday is coming up on November 19th. I know it is still a ways off, but I'm trying to plan now so I can have the money set aside (I'm a broke college student at the moment). I'm pretty stumped on what to get her. She loves frogs and frog stuff, but the last two gifts I got her were frogs, so I'd rather not use that again. I don't like the idea of clothes (bound to get the size wrong...

) and there aren't really any movies or CDs she'd like, AFAIK.

Then, I got an idea. Jewelry! What woman doesn't like jewery!? But then I remember how broke I am. A couple days later, my parents buy LoTR:TTT and I open it up. Inside, there is a brochure for various LoTR stuff, namely this: the Evenstar Pendant. Now, I'm a geek and a LoTRs fan, and so is she. In fact, she wears her "I <3 My Geek" t-shirt I bought her all the time! (see here) I thought it would be a beautiful gift, but wouldn't break the bank either. What do you think?

Also, we have been talking about our future together, and we both want to spend the rest of our lives together. However, getting back to being broke, I can't afford a multi-thousand dollar engagement ring, so I was thinking about a promise ring. Just a simple, silver band. What do you think?

Cliff notes:
1. G/f's birthday coming soon.
2. I'm a broke, geeky college student, but she loves me anyway.
3. Buy her a necklace and promise ring.
4.
5. Profit?
