What do girls like as gifts, besides me ofc. Also something that that wouldn't cost me a fortune and takes under an 2 hours to get, I'm kind of in a hurry..

Background: She's 17, a close friend whom I haven't seen in quite some time, charismatic, likes Jazz, sympathetic, playful, over-flirtatious, and never forgets a bad gift(Bioshock seemed like such a good idea at the time)!

Thanks for all the advise, in the end I just went with my gut.

Would make me look like an asshole, giving money and clothes seems a bit degrading

What are her hobbies? I mean if you live in the right area you could buy her tickets to a Jazz concert, or make a date to hear some music in a park, and you make the food and everything so she can just relax. A picnic.

Money can be converted into clothes. The other way - not so much. So, more money works well enough :)

Soap. Though for "what girls like to get from guys who need to get something in a hurry" I'd probably play safe and go with the answer above.

You utter muppet, do you really think all girls like the same things? :p

If it were me I'd be happy with a GeForce 680, but other women might want flowers, chocs, clothes, shoes etc.

Whoever it is she'd probably appreciate being taken out for a meal or something nice.

Yeah, I know that I prefer video games, Hello Kitty stuff, and even a simple meal. Flowers are nice but they die too quickly. Chocolates are good but I'm not much of a sweets person and I'm sure there are others like that. Clothes... I much rather pick those out myself.

The better question is, what does this girl want?

The answer could be shoes, a bitchin' video card, or a serrated hunting knife.

That's a catch 22. You'd have to know that girl well to know what she likes, which I guess isn't the case here.

So the question is more like: what's the safest thing to bring to a girl, that most girls like?

I'm sure my wife would appreciate My Little Pony toys. The little girl would probably prefer a Disney princess, but would go for My Little Pony in a pinch.

That depends on the female and your status to her (good friend, girlfriend etc) ;) Is she materialistic, then you can go with jewelry. Is it just a good friend a book she likes to read will do. If she is your girlfriend, then she might expect something special (maybe something selfmade or something that shows her that you were paying attention to what she likes).

If you don't know anything at all buy chocolate and flowers. But please, don't buy a standard chocolate. Better go to a confectionery. ^^

Sweets > Flowers. But I'm a glutton, so I don't know. I'd much rather get the cheapest steam game from my wishlist than something expensive I'll never have an use for. :')

You can blame me for having a penis in the usual attached location, but when my eyes scanned over your first sentence, I read "the first week this beast came into our home I DID it on our bed".

I quickly reread it because wtf that doesn't sound right, but I thought it was amusing (if embarassing) enough to share.

It depends on the girl.
My sister would like toys about things that she likes, like a tiny equine that is mine figurine, or World of Warcraft plushies.
Personally, my ideal gift would be cash, just because it's so versatile and also I am a cheapskate? Try to stay away from things like cookies/candies/cakes if she's a glutton, though. Every day is a struggle to keep from consuming my weight in butter and sugar, and whenever I get a sweet as a gift it really doesn't help.
