Thinking Outside the Jewelry Box

By Chuck R Stewart

When it comes to picking out presents, some guys are fairly clueless. While many guys would be thrilled to receive practical or fun toys like power tools, golf clubs or just about any kind of electronic equipment, they are not all that concerned or impressed with how much thought goes into selecting just the right present for the right person. Unfortunately for men, they are not generally very intuitive when it comes to figuring out what any particular woman might appreciate and enjoy. Luckily, there are now so many more options available, such as personalized photo gifts, that men will not fall short in showing their loved ones how much they care. Here, men will find tons of ideas that range from photo gifts to spa packages as well as how to unravel the mystery of what to get their special lady.

Attention all men! Whenever some special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary is approaching, most women will anticipate that her man will be presenting her with some sort of bauble. Chances are that she will voluntarily offer one or more subtle (or not so subtle) hints so you better be aware at all times. This is perhaps the simplest and most effective way of getting a glimpse into the female brain and will save you much time, frustration and embarrassment for being a dork who knows nothing about his girl.

In rare cases where there has not been any dropping of hints, or perhaps the hints were missed completely, then a tad more digging must take place. Hopefully, you have paid close enough attention to your mate to have a good idea of what her hobbies and interests are. Girls who are music lovers might like concert tickets to see their favorite performer. Those who often experiment in the kitchen would probably enjoy a cooking class. For ladies who take care with their appearance will be sure to love a special spa package of their favorite services. If she loves to make scrapbooks scrap booking is her thing, she will probably welcome new supplies and crafty gadgets.

Many women really appreciate when the men in their lives show interest in what they like so men will be sure to score extra points by taking part in activities with their partner. It can be a totally romantic experience taking ballroom dance lessons together, learning to prepare a decadent dessert or sharing in a couples massage. And, do not fail to overlook more adventurous girls who would love to be whisked away on a weekend getaway or go surfing.

And finally, the most important thing to remember is never, never, ever give your girlfriend or spouse cleaning or exercise equipment unless you are trying to tell your significant other that she is dirty and fat. If you dont mind being predictable, shower her with fine chocolates, wine, perfume and diamond jewelry. It might be a little bit generic, but its definitely better than a gift card to the book store. Good luck, bro!
