Something special for someone special
Well, as if you don't know, Christmas is all about gifts. And it's not just about a gift, it's about the gift. Of course, we think about the kids, our friends and relatives, those people that are dear to us. We always have something special in store for them.
But for men out there who are planning to give something extra special to someone special, giving gifts are as nerve wracking as say, not being able to see the light at the end of the gift giving tunnel. The predicament is that, sometimes, a gift can make or break -- whatever it is that they are on -- courtship, relationship, getting to know level, marriage, etc. I know many of the male species kind of take the challenge as trick or treat because for one, something he thought special might turn into a recipe for disaster.
Women definitely take hints on what they see inside that beautifully wrapped box. So when she cries, believe me, it does not always mean tears of joy.
This is not really a grave matter however it has proven to be an inquisitive public demand mostly from male friends who are probing for gift giving counseling and suggestions.
So what really should you give to her that will make her jump in excitement?
I think that the most important of all to keep in mind when buying gifts is that you particularly have to know your girl very well. Pay attention to what she likes, what she is involved in, her activities and hobbies, and the stuffs she usually uses, for vanity purposes for example. With that in mind, you have to observe, listen, study what she likes, needs, wants and even dreams of. If you're keen enough to see the signs, I'm sure you'll have plenty of ideas to surprise her with.
But of course, you cannot just give her something that is not really usable or appropriate. Be practical. If you don't think she will use it, chances are, she won't. Holiday gifts should be fun and memorable, so give her something that she will surely utilize.
Be creative, spontaneous and totally unique. I'm sure she will appreciate a little shopping spree charged from your credit card or simply just enjoy your cash but women feel more love with very well thought of meaningful and sentimental gifts. Why not give her something you personally created? A painting, an artwork, a photo collage of her or of you together, or a room you yourself arranged that screams passion and romance. Personalized gifts show intimacy, subtleness and pleasant surprise.
But of course, nothing beats the gift of words. Assure that woman you love the loyalty, trust and goodness that she deserves. Do not just text it of course. Plan a trip for you to spend some time alone and just be. Take a spa and eat breakfast together, hold hands, laugh, sip wine, dance, have a meaningful conversation, or leave I love you notes on the bed.
Still the choice is up to you. Choosing the right Christmas gift might tend to be a difficult task but it is a test of how well you know the woman you love and how noble are your intentions. The thought that goes into it will be greatly rewarded once you see the face of your beloved lit up in adoration and gratitude.
