What do you think of this idea for a christmas gift for my GF?

1. That’s so sweet. I’m sure she’ll love it ❤️

2. Does your gf like jewelry? If she does, have you noticed her wearing gold or silver more often? While this does sound like an adorable idea, not all women like necklaces, and not all of them wear gold.

3. How long have you two been dating? First Christmas together? Maybe not a gold necklace yet.

   Dating for years, she likes jewelry, sure.

4. Very cute!

   As long as you’ve been dating her for like… more than a couple months lol

5. That’s a cute idea! Does she wear jewelry? And if she does is it mostly gold? I once heard a girl at a party say “he bought me a gold necklace but I’m clearly a silver jewelry girl!”

6. I think it’s a cute gift and if you think that she is worthy of it then nothing else matters

7. Sounds lovely, I’m sure she’ll appreciate a gift from the heart.

8. Yup, your comments show you’ve taken note of your gfs style and preferences, and this seems to fit. You’ve clearly put thought into it, which means a lot.

9. I would ✨simply die✨ that’s so cute

10. I think it’s a great idea with a lot of thought put into it.

11. i read your comments and i must say it is adorable how well you’ve researched this. it’s a very nice and thoughtful gift and im sure she’ll love it

12. Go with your gut man. We don’t know you or your GF, so we can’t really say.

13. My $2, because I appraise my opinions well over two cents:

    I (46M, twice divorced) have learned that a locket with the giver’s picture inside is sometimes an inappropriately presumptive gift between unmarried/pre-engaged lovers. Allow me to do some overthinking for you.

    Your ages and cultures will play a HUGE role in how well this thoughtful gift is received. If I gave my girlfriend a locket with my photo or my kids photos (she has no children) it would not be well received. But if I did so with our cats or our wolf, it would be cherished forever. But that’s mostly predicated on her attachment style.

    If you’re SURE that she is your partner for the foreseeable future, and you’re sure she likes pictures, and you’re sure she is sentimental like this you STILL can’t know how well it is received. Lockets are often used in conjunction with locks on necklaces in certain BDSM D/s relationships and carry a connotation of ownership or entitlement.

    And that she tends to wear costume jewelry may be as a matter of style or as a matter of practicality so “real” jewelry may also be an incompatible gift.

    Personally, I would put a pet or her sibling(s) or parents – especially if they are deceased in a locket before my picture. I’d have a whole preset stock of pictures to allow HER to choose the picture she wishes to include.

    “Do you like lockets?” is a GREAT question to ask first. A follow-up question is, “If your mother gave you an empty locket, whom would you put in it?”

    Of course, it may be a bit late in the year to ask these questions. I’m sure there are surveys you can both take to give you gift ideas for each other.

    You’re (probably) not one of my kids but would absolutely hate for you to put so much energy into a gift that might be received as an unwelcomed territorial mark.

14. YES that’s so cute. Though I would urge you to make sure that one she likes gold because a lot of people prefer silver or white gold, make sure it’s a picture of the two of you you know she likes, and make sure she actually does like wearing jewelry. Other than that though I think it’s an adorable idea.
