What Should I Buy My Wife ?

(I took this from Wiki and added some of my own flavor… enjoy)

1. Discover what she wants: Sometimes you can find out what she wants either by asking her (directly or indirectly) or by remembering from past conversations. (Very hard for us men )

2. If you want to make it a surprise, use her friends or family members to snoop it out for you. If it is a “just because I love you” gift, recall what she has asked for in the past.

3. Purchase some magazines and catalogs and ask your wife to circle what she likes for future reference. Do this at least seasonally because clothing preferences and styles change at least that often. ( Tried that Once and ended up buying my wife last years sweater oh boy!

4. Buy a gift certificate if you’re uncertain of her precise preferences in an area. For example, if she has stated she would like some new clothes, then give her a gift certificate to a favorite shopping center and write a note on the card that it’s for clothes for her.

–However you go about it, a gift that shows that you spent time thinking about her or paying attention to her will be more greatly appreciated even if it turns out that she doesn’t like the gift itself.

How to Present the gift: Even a potentially bad gift can be saved with correct presentation. If you bought your wife a new vacuum cleaner (always a bad gift) find a humorous or clever way to present it, or attach a book of “coupons” to it that she can use to have you do the vacuuming for her. If the gift is something you know she will go completely ga-ga over, make the presentation quick and painless so she can get right into the exhultation over the great gift. For example, if you got your wife a full day spa treatment, you can just hand her the pamphlet and say, “hey, I got you a little something.”

Then enjoy - Enjoy the smile on your wife’s face
