Of sentiments and ornaments. Review on Choosing Gifts for Your Girlfriend

Gifts. They are wonderful things. These are things that are meant to signify to the other person that you consider them special. They are meant to signify that you understand more about them than they think. They are mean't to signify that you care about their wants and needs and are ready to step up and fulfill them.

I am making them sound like such important things aren?t I? Well, at times they are. When you consider gifting something to your girlfriend I would advise you to not think with your head at all. Leave logic and practicality out of this. That doesn?t mean you should go overboard, but it means that you should think more about what she wants and less about how good it looks.

First of all a lot depends on what the occasion is. If it is something big like a birthday or an anniversary, then go ahead and be more traditional with your gifts, whip out the chocolates and flowers and jewelry. But it could be something more subtle, like it?s the day she goes out to her audition, or a month to the day you first decided to propose, or she?s going through a rough phase, or you just get up and think of her smile and want to give her something. These sorts of gifts are a completely different category.

Birthday gifts, Valentine gifts, Anniversary gifts et al

All girls and I mean all; throw hints before their birthdays about what they would like. Listen carefully. Most would not like to be too obvious or too demanding, but its there in their wording. Think of something she?s wanted to have for ages and has been talking about. She?s never asked you to buy it for her, but do so anyway, that will make for a touching surprise. If you just can?t figure out what she wants, talk to her really good friends. These people will definitely know what?s up and can give you sound advice.

Flowers and chocolates do not a complete gift make. They are excellent accessories to gifts though and if you have a heavy wallet or feel the need to go extravagant, then do so. But generally, just a bar of the girl?s favorite chocolate or a single stem of her favorite flower is enough to bring a smile to her lips.

Jewelry is a very personal type of gift. Every girl likes it, but it is important that you know just the kind she does. You don?t want to put her in a fix by making her wear something she doesn?t like. Be sure you have thought it out before buying her jewelry and generally go for something in her favorite color and shape.

Watches make brilliant gifts, since they can be worn daily and serve as a sweet reminder of you on her wrist. Even with watches though, make sure you don?t go tacky and never too expensive(the girl does not want to feel guilty every time she looks at her wrist).

Everyday gifts, small gifts

These are the best kind. They work best when they are a total surprise to her. She should feel loved and wanted not just on special days, but even on her off days. Sexy gifts, when a girl has an awful cold are one of the sweetest things a guy can do.

These gifts by definition should be small and not too expensive. In fact if you give her something that belongs to you that is even more romantic. A DVD rip of her favorite movie, one of her favorite books that you found at the secondhand store for 20 bucks, a thing that is very precious to you, but you want her to have, a T-shirt that reminded you of her when you saw it.

Such gifts can lighten up a day and a relationship. You could also gift her something small just after you?ve had a big fight, though you must make sure that the gift means something. Photo frames are very sweet gifts, especially if you put a beautiful photo of the both of you in it first.

Finally, gifts are never complete without a hug and a kiss accompanying them. Even just a rose stem is infinitely more memorable if you have something nice to say along with it. Also if you expect a relationship to work only because you gift her regularly, then forget it.

Gifts are not what show that you care, the fact that you love her will be evident to her through your words and deeds more than your gifts. Also, as is evident, gifts should be highly personal, and one can?t really generalize, you must know her before you try and gift her. Hope this was useful, do leave a comment or two, that?s always nice!
