what is your budget? my bf and i have a shared note where we jot down anything we want throughout the year, it really helps when it comes to gift giving time! i see your other comment about what she likes, here are some of my ideas: an orange owala or stanley (so basic but i love mine and acc use it so much), disney lego sets, muppet lego sets, for crafts— watercolor set, flower press, embroidery kit (cheap at michael’s), craft kits at target, taylor swift hoodie or tapestry

a lot of girls love baggy t shirts they can wear around the house - you could also get her a cute locket w a pic of the two of you or something that reminds you of a memory you guys had together, also something small that she can keep in her purse that makes her think of you? also makeup? perfume?

Are you sure she doesn’t have any hobbies? Like what does she do in her spare time?

she doesn’t really have any hobbies. her favorite color is orange. i tried asking her flat out what kind of things she’d want but she hasn’t given me much to work with.

Has she sent you anything from TikTok or Instagram of it being just being about a product? Like a gadget or something hinting at hobbies that she has an interest in starting?

That might be too obvious. I’m thinking of hobbies that she might have sent to you. Another question, does she have any influencers that she loves?

i don’t have tiktok or instagram so she doesn’t really send me things and no influencers that she has mentioned. i can try and check her pinterest boards

Can you describe her interests other than her wanting a hobby and being on her phone? It would help a lot

Maybe you should make an instagram so she can send you posts. I bet it would make her happy too lol

If she really wants a new hobby diamond art. I can look into it, but there’s a company that makes your own personal photos into diamond art and I can share my favorite tools that are basically necessities at this point because I’m into diamond art. But you also can just get her beginner kits and some tiny diamond art projects and maybe one big one they take forever and are very tedious.

For the Muppets, you can probably look on the Disney shop website/app and see if there’s anything there if not, you can look on eBay or somewhere to see if you can find something Muppet that you know she’ll like if the Disney shop doesn’t have anything in particular. For Taylor Swift you can probably get her those sweater collector ornaments and the rack to hang them on. Taylor Swift is kinda hard because her stuff sells out so fast and the resellers up the price is insanely high.

Might be a stretch, but since you mentioned animal crossing the switch, Two recently did an update to animal crossing and it’s only on the switch too from what I’ve seen. So maybe a switch two? She might like new horizon and harvest moon, harvest is move way more popular

Taylor Swift is kinda hard to buy for because her stuff can sell out insanely fast but if you can see if you can get those sweater ornaments, they hang on a little clothing rack and are just a little collectors and they’re cute but they are based off of her iconic sweaters If you can actually get your hands on that one sweater from like two years ago, I one 100% guarantee she would go crazy over it

For the clothing, the easiest route I can think of is going to like an urban outfitters or a store similar to urban or you can see if there’s like a crystal shop that sells other things, including clothes and if there’s anything in there. Honestly, something to help could be when you’re at her place you can try look at the tags on her clothes to see the brand that they’re from instead of her cause that’s like a dead giveaway

I also recommend having a note page in your notes app to keep track of everything for gifts in the future. I do this with my best friends and family because it can get overwhelming this time of year

(very specific and kinda risky) taylor swift piano mini replica, polaroid, film camera, disposable camera, stuff to decorate her digi cam, maybe a photo book for her pictures, spaghetti ornament??, cooking class some random stuff: uggs, crocs, engraved jewelry (pandora is good), purse, locket necklace, mosaic lego set (you can make an picture) when in doubt get her an ornament of something she likes/reminds you of her! lego sets of what she likes, try ETSY!!! , facebook marketplace, thrifting
