What Should I Get My Girlfriend For Christmas
Some guys are naturally good at buying just the right gift for their girlfriend while some are just left clueless.
When you get her something she loves, it would show on her face immediately. You make an occasion really special for her by gifting her something which she likes. The fact that it came from you would make it extra special for her.
List of things you can gift her
Here is a check list of things most girls love getting as gifts
Its not about being expensive
Some guys feel the need to impress their girlfriend with expensive gifts, while cutting a hole in their pockets or entering into a credit. This is not advisable no matter how you feel about it. Avoid buying beyond your capacity. This practice would serve you in the long run.
Get Creative
Learn to get creative and romantic. You know your girlfriend better than anyone else and you should be the best judge of what she would like. Don't get her something common place which she can buy on her own. Get her something which she would find surprising.
Ask the salesman for help
You can ask the salesman at the store for help. You will be amazed at the options you would never have considered if the salesman had not pointed it out to you.
You may not be a good judge of paintings or art, but most girls do love art whether it be paintings or artifacts like clay statues. In such cases you can ask the salesman to help you pick out a romantic painting which is within your budget.
You don't need to go to a gift shop
The first place most guys head for to buy gifts would be a gift shop. Most gift shops stock common place gifts which don't appear unique in any way.
Try heading for shops which sell antiques, paintings, artifacts, musical instruments or exotic hand made jewelry. There are so many unassuming shops out there where you can find something totally unique.
Get her something which would last
Getting her a box of exotic candies would look romantic, but candies don't last do they? It is better to avoid buying gifts which are consumable especially on special occasions like Christmas
Buying her something like a painting would make her think of you every time she looks at it. A bracelet again is a good option.
Be careful with pets
If you plan of gifting her a pet, you should think about it hard.
Pets are a big responsibility. She may not be ready to have a pet around or may be her family would not approve of it. You might feel offended if your gift is returned back to you, and you end up taking care of it.
Pets can be beautiful initially but become a responsibility with time and attachment can bring pain when they die.
Be sure of her measurements if you buy clothes
Don't guess her measurements when you are planning on buying a jerkin or a top.
There is nothing more embarrassing than gifting a girl with a tight fitting top or a loose one. It is better to stay away from buying clothing as a surprise, it is best shopped together.
However if you are certain of the fitting, you can buy her an overcoat or a jerkin.
