What She Really Wants

Gift Giving Guide

The season of gift giving is once again upon us. If you're wondering what to buy for that special woman in your life...I'm here to help you out. I'm even going to give you some helpful hints and links to get you started.

Because she deserves to get exactly what she wants....

Perfume

First of all, unless you know for certain what her favorite scent is, just avoid buying that cute bottle of perfume. Chances are, it'll go stale sitting on the shelf or she's going to give it to one of her girlfriends. Women tend to be very particular when it comes to our choice of perfume, once we find that special scent, we usually don't switch around. Even if you do know what she loves, she probably already has plenty of it sitting around. Save yourself some major bucks and shop around some more.

Chocolate

Although it's true, most girls love a nice piece of chocolate, the truth is we're already getting plenty of it during the holidays. It's literally sitting on every table and neatly stocked on every store shelf. Chocolate is being handed out at every corner during this time of the year. Do yourself a favor, save this one for Valentines Day and keep on shopping!

Clothes

Red Alert! Absolutely do not go to the clothing isle. Chances are high that you'll pick out the wrong size which most women find extremely offensive. "Do you think I'm fat?" Yeah, you don't want to be hearing this all day. Avoid ruing the moment, and just keep on shopping.

Kitchen Utensils

Look, your heart might be in the right place but you should be aware that we already spend so much time in the kitchen, this is the last place that we want to be thinking about right now. A nice set of dishes is a gift more acceptable coming from grandma. We expect more from you! Keep shopping!

By now I bet you're thinking "Wow, exactly what does she want?" Take notes, because these are the gifts that almost every woman wants.

A Movie Night Package

Start with buying her favorite movie. Does she have an ultimate, all-time favorite? Is there one that she's just been dying to watch?

Now, go buy a soft and fuzzy blanket for her to cuddle up in while she's watching her movie. Throw in some microwave popcorn and a few of her favorite snacks. A nice scented candle would also be a nice touch to add.

At Home Spa Package

Fancy bath bombs, pretty candles, oils, lotions and everything else that a girl needs to totally pamper herself. Don't forget to throw in a fuzzy, warm robe and slippers. "She deserves this!" and be sure to let her know.

Jewelry

I bet you saw this one coming! But don't worry you don't have to break the bank to make us happy. Almost all women love imitation diamonds, they're beautiful, afforable and we don't have to stress out when we wear them.

Memories

By nature women are very sentimental creatures. If you really want to warm up her heart, find a way to bring back some of your happiest moments together. There are tons of amazing photo options online, just like the one I linked below. Trust me, she'll love it!

Make it Spicy!

This option might not be right for everyone, but if she's fisty and playful, why not make this Christmas one that she'll never forget. There's plenty of ideas and options on the website below, or you can make it even better by creating your very own play box.

Finally, no matter what you choose to give that special woman in your life...make sure to give her some special treatment this season. All too often us women get lost in the holidays. We're cooking, cleaning, planning, stressing and taking care of everyone else. Show her just how much that you appreciate all that she does.
