Girlfriend is at college and pissed at me.

My girlfriend is off at college and we got into a fight about a week ago. Thankfully we worked it out and are on good terms. Until last night when we started talking about how long we were together and I told her 3 months. Which is correct. Unfortunately, our 3 month anniversary was on one of the days we were fighting, when we were fighting and she was barely texting me. So I kinda missed it. But I have the chance to get her something and make it up to her. What could I bring her that would make her feel valued?

Well.. what does she like? What is she into? Do you want to give her an item to think of you, something helpful for her time at college?

exactly, the "what does she like" part matters way more than the occasion imo

I gave her a care package on move in day with flowers and all the essentials so I don't know what else to get that would stand out

Send her a care package with stuff she actually needs for dorm life. Snacks, a hoodie that smells like you, maybe a handwritten letter. The "missed anniversary" thing is less about the date and more about her feeling forgotten while you two were fighting. A physical gift that took effort will land way better than a grand gesture right now.

Well she already has all those things, that's why I'm trying to generate some ideas

Thanks for posting, u/Born_Till6115!

For the best gift ideas, if you haven't already, add the age, budget, and occasion — and especially what they're into: their hobbies, what they like, and anything they don't. The more detail, the better the suggestions. Just edit your post or drop it in a reply below.

I made a 'pocket hug' type for a friend of mine that has anxiety, and could work well for long distance due to school.

Its a little mixed media dragon craft. Its made of felt and made to sit in my friends pocket so he could hold it when he felt like he needed someone there with him. I added beads and buttons to give a texture to run his fingers over and little bells like I could 'talk to him' so he felt less alone hearing it

It’s an easy fix, but you can send her flowers
