Gift Primer for the Motivated to Marry Single Man in a Relationship
Copyright (c) 2007 Heartmind Connection, LLC
It's always a quandary when you have to buy a gift for the
special woman in your life. It's especially hard when you
just started dating and you want to make a good impression.
For many women, gifts are a make or break situation. I
remember getting a very unromantic gift from a boyfriend of
8 months for my birthday. In the end, this did have a part
in my decision to break up with this man. Whether it is
Valentine's Day, Christmas, or her birthday, an appropriate
gift would be expected by the woman in your life. Here are
some guidelines to help you make your purchase decisions a
bit easier:
Dating exclusively for 3 months or less:
Don't Give:
* A woman a CD player unless specifically requested by the
woman
* An IPOD - it's too expensive and what if you break up
soon afterwards?
* Expensive jewelry such as diamonds or 14 K gold (See
above!)
* Perfume - unless you know her favorite fragrance
* Nothing that works in the kitchen!
* Sexy lingerie - "Is that all you are interested in?"
she'll think
* Chocolates if she is on a diet!
Do Give:
* Reasonable jewelry such as sterling silver and
semi-precious stones
* A pretty watch for about $50
* An article of clothing you know she likes because she
hinted at it several times when you pass the store!
* A CD of her favorite music
* Tickets to her favorite concert or show
* Her favorite flowers with a small gift. (Flowers die and
then what is she left with?)
Dating exclusively for over three months:
Don't Give:
* Unromantic gifts such as kitchen appliances!
* Anything that requires assembly unless you can put it
together such as a piece of furniture she's been dying for.
* Electronic gifts that she has to figure out on her own to
use!
* Anything too expensive. Who knows if the relationship
will last!
Do Give:
* Flowers with a gift. (a jewelry box or a book on her
favorite hobby)
* A weekend away at a bed and breakfast. Don't forget to
bring the candles and massage oil!
* Medium priced jewelry - a gold heart, a Tiffany bracelet-
women love the little blue box! ($100- $150 range)
* Something you can do together- rollerblades, a tennis
racquet, boot warmers for her ski boots!
* A gift certificate to her favorite store. Make sure it's
over $100!
Dating exclusively for over a year:
Do Give: * An engagement ring!
Don't Give: * Nothing will do unless it's the ring!
