<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Greetings Reddit!

As we all noticed by the drastic change in sales advertising and perhaps the presence of snow (in some areas), it is that time of the year again. Now regardless of what your take on the holidays is, I need your help.

Every year (for Christmas and her Birthday) I get my girlfriend 2 types presents. One I buy for her (something I know she's really wanted but, being the indecisive type / meticulous, never got it herself, but I always remember somehow) and one I make for her.

Last year I got her a Wacom Intuos4 Pen Tablet which I knew she desperately wanted and needed but just wouldn't muster the courage to get. I always get her something that I know she'll use in her area of interests bc she's so hesitant to invest in herself and I love to see her thrive. And of course, I can't make a Wacom tablet (btw they're incredible!)

Last year I made her a lunchbox sized jewelry box. I know she loves all her little treasures along with cute decor. So I spent a good week designing and laboring in secret during finals (can't lie to her so I was "working" at home)! The box turned out better than I anticipated.

I'm a college student and this semester I just had so much on my plate, that I didn't have time to sneak some shop time in during finals. I just finished yesterday and I'm exhausted from this semester. She's gone back home for the holidays and I've scheduled to go see her Christmas day. 

I need help brainstorming ideas given this amount of time (To make mostly, but anything will help). I have a comfortable amount of equipment and skill. But as I said I'm a college and have been saving up for the holidays but the budget is a bit tighter this year. 

So help me out Reddit, AMA (about what she likes, may want, etc), suggest to me, or make witty remarks about the subject at hand. Anything will help, I just need to get my creativeness rolling, as finals really took a toll on me this week. Thanks Reddit!
<bot>: I need help brainstorming ideas of presents to make or buy, and who better to get creative input then from Reddit?
