Shopping for a girlfriend is different than shopping for a wife. With a wife you should always purchase that REALLY expensive piece of equipment that YOU have had your eye on because there is a good chance you will get it in the divorce. With a girlfriend you have no control over what happens when she tires of your fishing addiction, so I'd stick with the $39.99 Cabelas rod. :WINK
But seriously, here's one that earned me some points. You get her a new fishing vest, but instead of filling the pockets with fishing supplies you fill them with girly stuff. Perfume, bath oils, spa stuff, jewelry, etc. The discovery of all the baubles in the pockets quickly overshadows the let down of receiving something as unromantic as fishing gear. If you know her favorite brands it really makes you look like a star.
