Christmas
Gifts for Her - A Unique Approach
by Richard Chapo
The holidays are quickly approaching and that
means you need to come up with Christmas gifts for her. Instead
of stressing out, consider the following approach.
Christmas Gifts for Her – Gift Ideas
As the holidays approach, we are all subjected
to a frustrating phenomenon. What the heck should I get for my wife,
sister, mother, daughter and so on? We each arrive at the answer
differently, but it usually comes in one of the following forms.
1. You see something while browsing a web site
or moving with the herds at the mall,
2. You buy something you like, which of course
means she will like it [lingerie?], or
3. You give up and buy soothing oils and such
for the bath.
Entire industries have been set up around mans
inability to think of good gift ideas for women. Next time you are
the mall, take a look at the “bubble bath” stores. While
you agonize of whether to go with the peach fragrances or the lavender
skin restorer, you should try to keep in mind what such gifts say
to her. When she opens the gift, she’ll think that you really
didn’t put much thought into and react accordingly. This,
of course, means there better be a little box somewhere under the
tree containing a rare precious gem or car keys!
A Better Way
The best method for coming up with Christmas gifts
for her is to consider what she really likes. Importantly, this
does not mean considering what you think she SHOULD really like.
Put another way, tickets to the next football game are not going
to cut it. Instead, really give some thought to what she does when
she has some spare time.
If she likes to go antique shopping, then buy
her something related to antiques. Preferably, this should be a
book or something discussing antiques, not actual antiques. Men
have no taste, so don’t risk buying an antique she hates.
Trust me on this one.
If your wife or daughter likes to get out into
nature, you should consider something along those lines. If she
likes to go for walks to get away from the chaos of the home, consider
getting her something related to hiking. This could include things
such as a book detailing the local hikes in your area or a Nomad
Hiking Journal that will let her keep a diary of where she hiked
and with who. Regardless, the point is you should give her something
related to his passion.
The biggest key to coming up with Christmas gift
ideas for her is to think about her. What does SHE like to do in
her down time? Figure out the answer to that and you are well on
your way to finding gifts that will go over big.
