Ok, men. Here’s the secret to great gift giving: surprise
her. Add an element of the unexpected to the gift, it’s selection, or it’s
presentation. Some examples:
An unexpected gift
Give her your time. On a weekend afternoon in the backyard
surprise her with a smoothie (homemade or purchased), a bouquet of flowers, and
a manicure by you! Purchase nail polish you think she would like and have a go
at it Picasso! When my husband did this for me, I was SHOCKED! I felt so
pampered and special and I really appreciated him doing something so unexpected.
A great selection
Finding the perfect gift doesn’t always mean an endless day
of shopping. It involves thoughtfulness. A great idea we came across recently
was a gift an hour starting at the hour you were married. You can use a
combination of items you create and purchase, for example, frame a photo that
she loves and wrap it, write her a short letter of 5 things you love about her,
buy a cute pair of earrings, print out a love quote or cute cartoon that
reminds you of her, lip gloss, find the lyrics of your first dance song, etc.
and wrap each separately for her to open throughout the day. She will love it!
A creative
presentation
If you don’t have a lot of time to make something or go
shopping, and you want to keep things more traditional, consider how you present
your gift. If you take her out for a traditional anniversary dinner arrange for
a friend to meet you there secretly with flowers you picked out, a gift, and a
cake you had written a special message on. Excuse yourself to the restroom or
parking lot, etc. to get these items from him. Give the cake and wrapped gift
to your waiter to bring out once you finish dinner. A tiny bit of planning is
all it takes for a pleasant anniversary surprise!
