What V-Day Gifts Do Women Value?
|
 Valentine Day's round the corner, guys. We suggest you don your thinking hats so as to ensure you choose the right gift for your loved one. In fact, to help you make the right selection, we share a few tips from those who know what gifts work well with the ladies!
Rohit's wife Smita had a passion for gardening. Last Valentine's Day, he gave her a well-illustrated book on gardening, along with a potted red rose plant with a suggestive note that read - 'Here's to furthering all your passions..., Yours, Rohit'! Smita couldn't stop gushing over the thoughtful gift for months to come.
In contrast, Dilip bought his wife Anita an expensive platinum chain with a diamond pendant. It was pretty, but Anita didn't give it a look, forget about wearing it beyond Valentine's Day. Dilip couldn't figure out where he'd gone wrong. In truth, Anita knew Dilip had just walked into a store and picked the first expensive piece of jewellery he saw, with scant regard to her likes and dislikes, and the practicality of wearing the piece on a day-to-day basis.
A few cardinal rules
Guys - the secret to choosing the right gift is to invest some time in the act, while thinking from the heart. No, not yours, hers! Fact is - when you buy a gift for your woman, you're not shopping for an object, but for sentiment. Gifts that speak of your thoughtfulness and effort to buy or make them are the ones women relate to, and treasure for years to come.
These needn't be expensive, like Dilip's jewellery purchase, but must touch her heart. That's why it makes sense to think and buy or make your gift in advance. Last minute dashes into the nearest mall will only result in panic buying, that frankly, women get the wind of and don't appreciate!
