10 Top Tips For Buying Great Gifts For Women

4 سبتمبر 2010

Calling all men.

This article could not only keep you out of trouble but also gain you a few brownie points in the process.

Okay, hands up - who finds it difficult, make that impossible, to buy gifts for their wife / girlfriend / sister / mother / anyone else of the female species?

And who has fallen foul of these little stingers:

1. She likes perfume, so you buy perfume -apparently she doesn’t wear that particular perfume.

2. She loves chocolates, so you buy chocolates - she’s on a diet.

3. She loves handbags, so you buy a handbag - but it’s the wrong colour / wrong designer / should have a shoulder strap / should be clutch (delete as appropriate).

4. She loves shoes… don’t even go there.

And finally the real test that every male should be warned about as soon as they start to crawl:

5. She says ‘don’t bother buying me anything, a card will do’… she doesn’t speak to you for a month!

We know it’s not easy - women are just not logical creatures when it comes to gifts. So, we’ve taken pity on those men who struggle with gift buying. We’ve put together the ultimate guide to buying gifts for women, with 10 top tips to keep you in the good books.

1. Remember important dates - let’s start with the basics, whatever you do don’t miss her birthday / Valentine’s Day / anniversary. There really is no excuse. Keep a list in your diary, set reminders - mobiles and computers usually have an automatic alert system that you can set in advance. Don’t forget to set the reminder at least two weeks before the date so that you’ll have plenty of time to choose a gift (remembering the night before won’t do you much good). Follow this piece of advice and see your popularity with women grow as you start remembering special days.

2. Do your gift homework! - pay attention and listen for hints (we accept that this may be a difficult habit to get into but it could pay dividends). When women are talking about hobbies, favourite shops or even better, say “Oh yeah, I fancy that but I can’t justify buying it for myself”. Bingo! You’re onto a winner. Don’t forget to write the ideas down straight away though - if not, you’ll find you can’t remember anything when it comes to actually buying the gift.

3. Ask for help - sales assistants, work colleagues, friends and family will all be happy to help you choose gifts for women. Just think. If you’re single and the gift is for a relative, it could be a great excuse to talk to that stunning shop assistant!

4. Wrap your gifts beautifully - irrespective of the cost of the gift, wrap and present it beautifully if you want to really impress. Some stores offer this service for a minimal fee if your gift usually ends up looking like it’s had a fight with the sticky tape. Whatever you do, don’t forget to take off the price tag and remove receipts from bags.

5. Build-up your own “gift directory” - keep a list of favourite shops, florists, restaurants and hotels in your phone or diary. Bookmark your favourite gifts websites and subscribe to their e-newsletters - they might become a great source of gift ideas.

6. Keep your eyes and ears open for original gifts all year around - if you find something that would make a great gift for your partner, Mum or daughter… follow your instinct: buy it, wrap it, tag it! If you think to yourself “That would be the perfect present for her” chances are that they will think so too.

7. Check her size - if you’re thinking of buying clothes, make sure you know her size first. You could be letting yourself in for major problems if you buy her something that is too small (’you think I need to lose weight!’) or too big (’you think I need to lose weight!’). Or if you’re thinking of perfume, music or books, play it safe by checking out what she likes first.

8. Don’t make excuses - with the internet, phone and mail order, “I’m sorry, I didn’t have time” just won’t cut it. If you have forgotten her birthday or another important date make up for it straight away - a belated gift or sorry gift will be much better than no gift at all.

9. Give surprise gifts - buy an unexpected gift like a balloon or some flowers once in a while, you could even get it delivered to her work place. Or take her out to her favourite restaurant. Women just love surprises!

10. Be generous with your time and attention - although time and attention alone won’t do for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas or Valentine’s day - try it once if you dare and you’ll soon see what we mean - they will be much appreciated on a day to day basis. Take a walk together, listen to her over a cup of tea, wash the dishes, share a joke…

CAUTION

Word of warning. For some unknown reason, women may become suspicious when the man in their life - who previously didn’t know the difference between Dior and a doorbell - suddenly presents them with thoughtful, desirable gifts,bell a ross, on time and beautifully presented.

We’re not quite sure why this phenomenon occurs, but we advise that you keep a copy of this guide handy to refute any false accusations of improper behaviour.

Giving Drink Coasters As Gifts

4 سبتمبر 2010

The art of gift giving is a delicate and subtle skill that some people are simply better at than others. The nature of the gift you give is more than functional, it isn’t just an item, it’s a symbol, a representation of yourself, and your estimation of the one you’re giving it to. Giving an offensive or inappropriate present is often worse than giving nothing at all. One way to be safe and ensure that your gift is at the very least innocuous is to consider giving a set of beverage coasters.

Coasters are functional pieces that are designed to stand between sweaty, scratchy glasses, and the delicate and expensive surfaces in your home. There are a variety of reasons why they are particularly appropriate as gifts. First of all, their inherent usability means that they won’t be wasted. So many presents get tossed away in drawer or attics, never again to see the light of day. Coasters at least have a fighting chance of actually being useful when guests arrive.

Another great thing about coasters is that there is such a wide variety of them. Even just in the sandstone category,rolex datejust, you can choose pieces printed with just about any image you can imagine. When you get into glass, steel, wood, and slate coasters, you see the variety of styles should suit just about anyone’s taste. This allows you to be choosey, and select the absolutely perfect piece for the giftee, shopping around until you find something that will be meaningful to them.

Many coasters are printed with sayings, or trivia. These can also be used as a gag gift, or a light hearted way to make someone chuckle. However you have to be careful. Not everyone will share your sense of humor, and if you don’t watch out you could end up walking the thin line between funny and offensive.

Coasters in general are harmless. Symbolically, they are gifts that are given to those we know will use them. In this way the giving of a set is really a way of saying that you understand the thoughtful, caring, meticulous nature, of the person who will be receiving them.

Disney Princess Dolls - Where to Buy Them on Sale

3 سبتمبر 2010

Finding the perfect Disney princess doll for the perfect friend is easy today. The first thing you have to determine is what type of princess your child or friend likes. Often times I just simply come out and ask my daughter what’s her favorite Disney princess.

When we go shopping in the mall, which is very seldom, I let my daughter run through the store and I kind of just browse where she is going. She takes a look through all the Disney clothes, movies, dolls, toys. It is rather fun shopping with her as I can be reminded of how fun things were like, when I was a child.

I still like watching Disney movies till this day and not to mention that her favorite channel is the Disney channel. So what I do is I find out which one she likes and then quietly jot it down on my notepad. The most common princess’s are Jasmine, Snow White, Cinderella,replica rolex, Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, and a few more.

Then later when I get home, i jump on my friend Google and start my search. I found that if your looking for really good deals, there are 3 major sites that I like to search. Amazon, eBay, and Craigslist are three of my favorites. I think that’s a great way to narrow down what exactly is available out there.

Shopping online is fun and you just need to make sure that you shop on reputable sites! I like princess dolls so much so that I had my daughter help me put together a nice place to go to find your favorite Disney princess doll.

CD Players For Kids

3 سبتمبر 2010

If you’re looking for a great gift idea for your son this year, I have a suggestion: get him a CD player. Sure, much of the musical media is digital, but you have to [or usually should] PAY for that. And even if you don’t have a problem with downloading music, it’s a great way to open yourself up to viruses. And there are plenty of cool CD players for kids out there.
 
They’re easy enough to find. You can find really cheap ones at your local Mart of Walls for less than twenty bucks. I have to say, though, that even though the really cheap, “generic brands” DO work, they’re not going to work for very long. So I suggest going with Sony or Panasonic. I’ve tried the cheaper brands, and every time I end up kicking myself because they end up breaking about a month or two into it, especially if I use them a lot.

If I were you, I’d actually try and get one that has an alarm clock on it, especially if they’re a little older (not quite a teen, but not a toddler). If they’re in school, what better way to accompany you waking him up than with a little of his favorite tunes?

The other reason that CD players for kids are a great idea in my opinion is the library. Have you seen the CD collection at most libraries? It’s huge. I think as we become more and more “digitized” in our society, simply GETTING someone into the library can be a great feat. I spend a lot of time there, and for my money,replicas rolex, it’s still a great place to learn.
