"JavaRanch, where the deer and the Certified play" - David O'Meara

Well, she is a colleague, so she can't be that young.
So - are you getting any GUY colleagues a gift? :roll:
Buying gifts for females:
Rule #1: NEVER get her something practical. MEN like practical things. Women do not.
Rule #2: If you get her something silly and romantic (like a doll bear, or flowers or candy) she will think that you have ulterior motives. If you get her something expensive she will think that you have ulterior motives. If you get her something meaningful or personal she will think that you have ulterior motives. This comes from thousands and thousands of years of learning that men almost ALWAYS have ulterior motives.
Your best bet if you DON'T want her to think that you have ulterior motives is to get her something practical. She won't like it, but she won't get nervous either.
On the other hand, why do you feel motivated to get her a gift anyway?

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your feedback. Actually the only motivation was just good friendship, of course, a friendship between a man and a lady, but not really romantic.
