Gifts are a wonderful way to show how much one cares about his significant other, or how long he waited before scrambling into every store in the mall searching for the perfect gift for that one special person.
There are two equations when it comes to buying a gift for the majority of females, excluding the occasional gold digger: thought is equal to or greater than the total number of zeroes on the price tag. If one keeps that in mind, then any gift out there will be the perfect gift. The less thought invested, the more money will be spent.
The other equation should only be utilized in case of emergencies, or if creativity is not a trait that comes natural to the gift giver. As thought decreases, the total number of zeroes on the price tag should go up.
If the relationship is nearing the one year mark, a good gift would be one of many Tiffany necklaces that can be found for $125 and up. If the relationship is younger, then take her out to a nice dinner. Taking her back to the first date could be a good way to keep the relationship youthful.
These two equations should be constantly referenced when looking for a gift. If anyone is to fall into the category of the second equation, the amount spent should vary depending on how long the couple has been dating. The longer the two have been dating, the higher the price of the gift. These prices could be cut by more than half if one invested time into a thoughtful gift.
Happy wife, happy life. Even though marriage is not in the picture, the concept still applies. If the gift she receives is not up to her expectations, it will take a lot of sucking up and better gifts in the future to get out of jail.
Try bouncing ideas off a friend who is also a girl to get the female perspective on any gift idea that pops into one’s brain. If a female or a friend of the gift receiver is not a possibility, find a friend who has a girlfriend and has experience with giving gifts.
Thought will always be superior to price. In any gift-giving situation, putting thought and care into a gift will reign supreme without making one’s wallet hurt.
