Finding the Perfect Gift for Your Man
How Does He like His Gifts? Choose Gifts Based on His Personality
Everybody likes being appreciated or to feel special. However, what makes us so is always different and unique from the next person. For some it is physical intimacy, for one it could be positive reinforcements from their loved ones, for some it could be some quality time with their beloved or for others it’d be when they are showered with gifts. Usually, gifting implies one major form of expressing love. So before you go ahead and buy your hubby a gift, think about what really defines him as a person and what do you think would be his ideal expression of love for Christmas. For instance, if you’re planning on buying him an expensive watch, maybe that’s really not he’d like, instead, a note from you citing all the reasons that make him so loved and endearing to you would make his day and his Christmas!
An Element of Surprise is The Cherry on Top!
Love is one of the sweetest surprises in the world any day! Most people mistake gifts for love, while money is always a plus in enhancing the love experience, certain surprises along the way won’t be so bad either. Surprises always express that extra effort in making someone feel extraordinary. When you combine gifts with surprises, it can be fun and exciting for both of you. For instance – a paper trail leading your love to a cuddly surprise, some rose petals and scented candles creating a romantic ambience, a window display with your personal love message, baking heart-shaped cookies, or a smiley on his sandwich, or a breakfast in bed could be some lovely options to work with.
