Can't wrap? Try a nice gift bag or get help, but never give
a sloppy gift. Taking the time to wrap nicely says you care.
She'll say you don't have to get her anything formal, but
inside she wants to see that box and bow emerge from your
pocket as a symbol of your caring. Even movie tickets and
a take-out menu can be wrapped!

 Why
Be Normal? But sometimes the gift is small, but
you want the presentation to be grand. Try buying a pinata,
a crepe and wire box you stuff with goodies, hang from a tree
or a ceiling, and break open with a bat spilling the contents.
(FYI - The person with the bat is usually blindfolded, so
watch out when doing this indoors!) Pinata's come in many
themes, and you and your lady friend (and your friends) can
have a lot of fun trying to spill the contents. Put your small
unbreakable gift, like a piece of jewelry in a protective
box, in with lots of her favorite wrapped candies she can
share with friends. Great for giving her a gift certificate
to a spa, a gift certificate for something she wants, or a
card with a special sentiment and the details of a night on
the town you have planned for her.

It doesn't cost much to find something she'll like
and keep forever, looking back at it with a smile, remembering
how romantic it was when you gave her the gift. Some examples
are a nice locket with a lock of your hair or your pictures,
a photograph of the two of you in a nice frame, or a special
something she's always wanted but wouldn't get for herself.

| Gifts
That Last A Lifetime. When you can afford it, why
not get her something she can not only treasure but pass down
through the family? A special figurine, a painting or a professional
photograph of the two of you. The Keepsake Pendant displayed
above is a perfect idea. A rock quartz crystal is hollowed so
she can place something inside - your special love note, baby
hair, something special from someone who has passed, or something
you both collected on a special occasion, like sand from a beach.
This gift of love would last a lifetime and beyond. Email

Every woman likes to
get flowers on the usual occasions - but it is even better when
the flowers tell a story. |
| Why
Be Average? You can make flower giving very special
by chosing a flower you like and telling your lady that flower
always reminds you of her, and in every bouquet you send, make
sure at least one of those flowers is in the arrangement, whether
it looks good there or not! |

I often find that if I tell
a ladyfriend she can have anything In the Mrs.Gottrocks Fine
Jewelry and Gifts jewelry catalog in a certain price range,
she will spend days looking and deciding what she wants. I
am always surprised how much they love the process of choosing
just what they want!
|
But don't
just say "Hey babe, lets go get you a birthday present."
Take the time to find a store or internet site you think she
would like. If you just say here's the store, so what do you
want, it won't mean much more than you couldn't be bothered
to shop for a gift. Take a walk through. Find a department,
area, or items you like, and take her there and tell her you
wanted to get her something from that selection of gifts,
but you wanted to be sure she'd like it.

 Show
her the items you thought she might like, tell her if she
likes one of them you'll buy it, or if she sees something
else you'll look at it. If she doesn't fall in love with something,
ask her to pick three or four things, showing them to you,
and then you buy it after she leaves the store so she can
be surprised. If you take the time to go to the store first,
and set it up properly, she'll love it. I often find that
if I tell a ladyfriend she can have anything on the Mrs.Gottrocks
Fine Jewelry and Gifts jewelry catalog in a certain price
range, she will spend days looking and deciding what she wants.
And I am always surprised how much they love the process of
choosing just what they want!

Dish Gardens like the one to the left are popular
and she will remember the gift over time as the plant grows
and becomes part of her decor. You can use plants as well as
flowers to tell your lady you think she is really something
special. |
| Presentation
is Everything. A special arrangement is always a
nice way to announce you have decided to take her on a trip,
like this catcus assortment might tell her of a planned trip
west. Then she has a special plant to not only remember the
trip, but how beautifully you surprised her with it! You can
also use a tropical flowers to tell her you are taking her to
an exotic restaurant, a bonzai tree to hang her birthday pearls
on - get creative! |

You
can make your jewelry gift even more special by selecting something
you associate with your lady, or something she associates with
herself. |
 Women
love gifts that communicate to them! Some examples
are buying her candy that represents the state she was born
in, or a claddagh ring like the one pictured above for the
lady of Irish descent, a special charm or charm pendant (larger
charm that can be worn on a chain) with a cat, flower, butterfly
or other animal or even a sport she likes. Always buy your
charms and pendants with a chain or bracelet to put it on
- a lady can never have too many chains or charms for her
charm bracelet. (And charm bracelets make for great future
gift giving as you can always add a charm for those occasions
when you are stumped for another type of gift - but don't
wear it out, she won't like getting charms over and over any
more than you like getting ties. Variety in great gift giving
is essential). |
