5 Rules on Gift Giving in a Successful Relationship

The art of giving gifts needs to be learned and honed. It is not just popping in a shop and buying something that you think your boyfriend would like though by now you would know what your man prefers. Unless you are careful, it might lead to unprecedented embarrassing situations. And when your man is not satisfied with your gift it definitely leads to a wedge in your relationship. We have put together a few tips to help you hone your art of gift giving and make it a success.

  • Expensive Gift Doesn’t Mean Instant Satisfaction
    Your value in your boyfriend’s eyes doesn't depend on the value of your gift nor does it guarantee instant satisfaction. The only thing you’d be doing when buying expensive gifts is flaunting your wealth or getting in debt. And that might not end well for you, especially if it's been bought on a credit card.

  • Quality Gifts, Not More Gifts
    If you have the idea that more gifts mean more satisfaction, again you are wrong. It’s the quality of the gift that matters. Put some thought into it and buy him one great gift, instead of compensating for lack of ideas with a whole bunch of things that mean nothing.

  • Either Useful or Emotional
    Whatever you get him, it should either be useful or sentimental. Take a wallet for instance. It is a very popular gift for men but does he really need a new one? Instead get him skincare if you notice he needs some looking after. It's not something he'd think for himself but will be touched you notice and look after these small things. Complement it with another sentimental present. You have been together for 4 years and would have wonderful memories and pictures. How about making him a photo book with these pictures and adding some anecdotes which remind him of the happy memories.

  • Make it a Surprise
    Want to make your gift exciting? Make it a surprise. No hints and no clues whatsoever. If possible make sure he doesn't even know that you are intending a gift for him. Spring it on him a day before or after. Or you could gift him a subscription box which means he has a new gift every month the whole year.

  • Be Honest About His Gifts
    This is not relevant to your gift but to his gifts. If your man loves getting you gifts, the best thing you can do is to be honest about his gifts. If he is a good man and appreciates you, he would take this on a good note and would be careful the next time around. If you are not honest about his gifts, you are at the risk of acting just to please him even though it doesn’t. But be sure you deliver it to him in a good and sporty way and not gripe about it. Remember its the thought that counts but again honesty is the best policy.

Exciting 4th Anniversary Celebration Ideas

A gift is a special part of your anniversary celebration but it is not the whole thing. A celebration is something that you should remember fondly after a few years. A gift alone doesn't do that. You need to plan a trip or a something of the like to honour the occasion. Men are not known to remember dates and it would be up to you to remember the date and plan something appropriate. We have listed a few ideas to inspire you.

Photoshoot to Commemorate the Occasion

The current trend right now is to immortalise an occasion with a photo shoot. If you can afford a photo shoot, get the best local photographer and click some pictures of the occasion. If you cannot allow a budget for a photo shoot, get the help of a friend, probably someone who owns a DSLR and you are set. You can get help from Pinterest for ideas and inspirations. You can ask your photographer to make a photo book for you or you can use Print Venue and the like to get your book done.

Get Pampered and Primped

It is likely that both of you are busy in your lives with no time to stand and stare much less a pampering session. With this big moment coming up, how about slowing everything down; In fact just stop the world at your door and book yourself a couple’s spa.

Get pampered and finish the day with a fabulous date at your favourite restaurant. Your usual burger and fries don’t count; not even your occasional Asian fare. Step it up a notch and make reservations at a top restaurant and get dressed as such in a little black dress and heels. With wine and conversation flowing this night would be one to remember in a long time.

Surprise Him with a Trip

If you two are travel birds or just plan to be one, now is the time to kick start. Start this new year in your lives with a relaxing trip. Book yourself in a resort and take life slowly, with lovely sights, music and definitely food. There's nothing better to bring life to perspective than travel. And being there with your loved one will bring forth the emotions and what made you love each other. Any issues you had with each other will be forgotten in the aftermath.
