HOLY FU(K!
Seriously what are you smoking/drinking? You suggest a birthday surprise that is at least $475? In the next thread someone will complain about their gf expecting too much. REALLY?! I wonder why?
Maybe you know the OP and he lives at home and mommy and daddy are paying for it all but I can assume two things from his post.....
"first birthday together" = dating less than a year
"we are both young" = probably doesn't have a spare $475 laying around on some chick who he isn't in a long term relationship with.
I am an old lady, not as old as MG1, but old and have been to Whistler, Victoria and Harrison. All three cost more than you have quoted.
Jewelry under $200? Walmart promise ring that the servers are going to surprise the girl with?
So OP if you aren't trying to take the mickey then how about a picnic in the park/beach/mountain, make dinner for her, (both of those include you doing ALL the work), there are the free movies in the parks, Theatre under the Stars, scavenger hunt you set up for her, Drive In in Langley.
would be helpful if you gave your ages and what she likes to do.
If you really do mean she is young and into new stuff try
