As the season of giving approaches, there are always confused females who raid stores frantically looking for the perfect present to give a significant other.
Nothing is more agitating than the typical “I don’t know, get me whatever” response. This leaves ladies in a state of anxiety over what is a good item purchase.
Buying a gift is all about how long the couple has been together. If one has been dating a guy for a year, a cup of hot cocoa and a holiday card will not suffice.
For a couple currently blossoming, gifts can be a head scratcher. For the one to two month period, girls are still getting to know their guy and what he likes. The gift should say “I care about you enough to know what you spend your time doing, but we have not been dating long enough for me to spend my whole paycheck on you.”
One gift that is always applicable and inexpensive is food. Every man loves to eat and at this time of year, food can be pimped out to look festive and seasonal.
Another spectacular gift is cologne. Ladies, it tells the significant other that the holidays are meant for snuggling, and it is unacceptable to smell like sweaty Santa at the mall. Ralph Lauren Polo Black Stocking Stuffer can be purchased at Macy’s for $35.
Couples who have been dating for five to six months must put thought into gifts. Since this guy has stuck around for so long, he should be rewarded. Men can always use fashion advice, so purchasing a few tee shirts is a great way to welcome the holidays.
For a more reusable gift, buy a video game. Since the majority of teenage boys have better relationships with their Xbox 360 than with their girlfriends, one cannot go wrong with the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 game for $56.95 at Walmart.
If a guy has stayed in a relationship for a year, cash needs to be spent. Buying a Nixon watch at Nordstrom for $60 tells a man that their lady still likes him after all this time.
So whether your relationship is just a spark or a blaze, do not commit arson and have the holidays go up in flames.
