What is the appropriate gift for your
significant other? Sometimes it is extremely hard for me to pick out a present
for just my friend let alone my significant other!
Personally I try to strategize. I would rather get my
partner something that would mean a lot to him, even better if it means a lot
to both of us. For example, I made a “care package” kind of thing for an ex for
his Christmas present. It consisted of a sweater that he wanted (when I asked
him to choose between three choices, haha), a specialized water bottle that he
mentioned in passing that he liked, a heartfelt written card, and other items
that were personal and meant something to both of us. He loved it and that in
return, made me feel great about it! Sometimes, giving is even better than
receiving!
My opinion is that the more personal and thoughtful the gift
is, the more that your partner will actually love it. Even something small but
carefully thought out is better than something expensive bought last minute
with no thought behind it. I would rather receive the gift and immediately
think, “wow, _____ knows me so well!” and see the effort that my significant
other put behind it.
Some time and effort may be needed but it will be worth
seeing the shocked, happy, surprised expressions on your partner’s face when he
or she opens your present!
