The Most Unexpected Gifts Often Bring the Most Joy: Surprise Your Wife This Karwa Chauth with These 10 Thoughtful Gifts (2019)

Over the course of your marriage, you will have to send hundreds of bouquets of flowers, pay for thousands of movie tickets and similar things on numerous occasions. But when you are looking to show how much your wife truly means to you, the same old gifts just won’t cut it.

One such occasion is the ‘Karwa Chauth’ – a special occasion which celebrates the love shared between the husband and wife. Considered to be one of the most important festivals, during this occasion, the married woman fasts for the longevity and well-being of her husband. During the fast, the married woman fasts for an entire day, without having even a sip of water and the fast is only broken when the moon is seen. On such an auspicious occasion, it is only deserving that you show your wife just how special she is to you. As the ‘Karwa Chauth’ is a woman’s festival, the importance of gift matters. In fact, the husband should have their own way of expressing their love for his wife. While some may fast along with them, some even have the option of buying gifts and some may even cook for them. But perhaps the best possible way of showing his love for his wife, the best possible gift shouldn’t be any material gifts, rather what the husband should provide is ‘Unconditional Love’. The husband should be there for his wife in times thick and thin, understanding her at all times and helping her in her daily chores. Times like these – the wife is more likely to cherish more than any gift.

That being said, you can still surprise her on Karwa Chauth. After all, she fasted the whole day for you, so, why not show her just how much she means to you?

No stone is left unturned when it comes to the occasion of Karwa Chauth. On this festival, when the wife is starving for the prosperity and long life of the husband, it is the duty of the husband to do something for the wife to make her feel truly special.

On the occasion of Karwa Chauth, when the wife fasts for the entire day, the husband can definitely utilise that time in showing just how much of a great husband he is. He should take some time out and cook something special for his wife. It can be anything from her favorite dishes to her desserts. At the end of the day, it’s not about the cooking skills, but rather the efforts that you made for her. Take our word for it, you will truly be glad to see her smile when you serve her what you cooked for her.

How about getting a little adventurous? Playing a little game? Yes, you can do that too. So, why not make the day even more special. Instead of giving her presents the usual way, why not send her on a scavenger hunt?

You can hide the gifts for her all over the house and ask her to hunt for them. It will be like a game of hide and seek. To make it more fun, you can give hints along with every gift on a piece of paper on where to find the next one. This is one sure fire way of making the occasion special.

Ask for a romantic set up and you are good to go.

Who doesn’t love surprises? Granted, there are several occasions on when you can pamper your wife and gift her flowers, getting her flowers and that too, her favorites, will definitely sweep her off her feet.
