Friday, February 10, 2012
Here Another POST bout Gift again. Do remind Every lovers Out there. Remember this.=] There are certainly a number of do’s and don’ts when it comes to Valentines Day gifts. Remember, Valentines Day is about showing your love – gifts don’t have to be expensive in order to do that. A simple gift or even a thoughtful act goes a long way to showing your seetheart how much you care. Here are a few tips and ideas when considering what to give the person in your life on Valentines day.
Valentines Gift Tips
1. Unless she has explicitly stated that she needs one, never give your wife or girlfriend a household appliance or anything related to housework. Not only is this an unromantic gesture, it also tends to make her think that what you want to say is that she needs to do more cleaning.
2. Find out what she really likes. Be on the alert for any hints she may be dropping about what she wants to receive from you for Valentine’s Day, or if there’s a restaurant she wants to try or someplace she’d like to check out. She’ll love the fact that you paid attention to what she was saying.
3. With that in mind, make sure that you never ask outright what she wants for Valentine’s Day. That may paint you as an insensitive creep who has no idea what she likes and hasn’t been paying attention to her the entire time you’re together. As in the previous tip, recognize hints and listen to what she says she likes when you two are just talking.
4. Tempted to just get her a big stuffed toy and pink and red heart-shaped balloons? You might want to rethink that plan. Remember that you’re not a teenage boy anymore and you’re certainly not dealing with a teenage girl. You don’t have to get her jewelry and lingerie, but something more age-appropriate will work better than cutesy gifts.
5. Did you get her a gift or made plans that she absolutely loved last year? Don’t think that you can give or do the same thing this year. She might still love it, of course, but it’s a sign that you’re unimaginative and that you just got too lazy to think of something different this time around.
6. Men think that women are only impressed by expensive gifts. It’s not the cost of the item that women love, but the fact that you obviously put some effort into planning and thinking of a gift you know she’ll love. If you don’t want to go broke on Valentine’s day, make sure that you stick to a budget and not get tempted to splurge on a gift.
7. If you’re planning to give her a card along with your gift, be sure to sign it with more than just your name. Expecting the card alone to do the job of expressing your feelings just won’t cut it. It certainly wouldn’t hurt you to jot down a few sweet words of your own on the card.
8. Take her personality and preferences into consideration. If she’s not into the whole flowers-chocolates-jewelry-candlelit dinner thing, don’t force them on her just to fit the usual image of a Valentine date. Give her something you know she will truly enjoy, even if they’re not the traditional Valentine’s day gifts and activities..
