The classic items that most guys buy for their misses are lingerie. I strongly believe, and I might write a thesis about this behavior one day, but most men tend to compare their wife with the shop assistant. This is a classical schoolboy error, as the girl in the shop is NOT the same size as your wife. As a result, men buy the wrong sizes, often way too small below and too big on top, which will have a negative impact on the mood of your wife. Despite this known fact, men don't seem to change their behaviors and continue to go to these exotic shops. The real reason is most likely that men go to these shops only to be able to look at half-naked women without getting into trouble.
I too have bought my share of sexy lingerie for my wife and she too would have to change the lingerie because of the sizes. So, a few years ago I decided to do something about it and I wanted to buy her something special - don't we all. Guys, if you get it right, you get rewarded. It is therefore in your interest too to make your wife happy.
In the name of sharing, here's one for the guys, when buying presents to their girlfriends. Making presents special, no matter the occasion, is essential. You want brownie points, right? So think about what you buy. Buying presents to your partner is an International challenge, so this should work across the World. These are successfully tested.
- 5 Senses - it might not seem that romantic, but find something that will awaken her 5 senses. One year, I bought my girl something for each of these senses, and my God did it work! You can of course choose what you want, and it does not have to cost a fortune, as long as your wife will like it. Here's my list:
- Sight; her favorite movie, "Giant" with James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor
- Feel; extremely soft silk scarf
- Smell; a new perfume
- Hear; a music CD
- Taste; cooked her dinner
- Body Sensations - these would be presents that obviously focuses on her body, and NOT in a sexual way you pervert - so, no toys!! I would recommend something more like:
- Nice smelling soap
- Soft body lotions
- Body scrub soap and sponge
- Natural Beauty - this can cover different events, but make sure you keep the presents the same. So if you want fashion then stick to a set of matching clothes, not multiple different shirts. The same goes for make-up. As you can see, this can be used for several birthdays, but do not use this theme twice in a row.
- Sporty Spice - is an opportunity to get her some sports equipment. Please be careful, as this can backfire if you buy her the wrong thing like a scale, too small sports clothes or a running machine.
- Relaxation (my favorite) - is particularly useful if you've had your first child. Your wife will be exhausted, so give her spa treatments or massage packages for a local spa. She will REALLY appreciate this.
The best present I ever bought my wife, was on a holiday to Cancun (Mexico). We had invited the in-laws to Mexico and on a particular day we went shopping - as you do with your wife. My wife and her mother entered an exclusive gemstone shop. I spotted some jewelry that I knew my wife would love, ring and ear-rings. Sneaky as I am, I persuade my mother-in-law to get my wife to try the ring, as it is crucial to get the right size. When we later that evening celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, I gave her the present - bingo! 2 million brownie points for me.
I've never been a huge fan of flowers, mainly because it is so common, but also because it is VERY difficult to drive a scooter with a bouquet of flowers. The odd surprise works much better, such as taking her out for dinner or asking her on a date to the cinema. It doesn't really matter if you've been going out for years, it is just the gesture of spending time alone.
This has worked well for me, but if anything in your plan backfires, after having used my suggestions, then I pledge the 5th Amendment (you do it on your own risk).
