Hey guys, it’s that time of year again! That time we all look forward to all year long, time to hit the mall! Yeah, Not so much! Seriously though, we have to step it up this year. We need a gift that says you are my one and only, the love of my life and I couldn’t make it through the year without you. As a guy, writing a blog about what a woman wants is dangerous territory! So with that in mind, I will give you what I have learned over my 18 years of marriage.
Bottom line guys, she wants to know that you put a little bit of time and effort (maybe even a bit of sweat!) into the gift. She really needs to know you didn’t run out on Christmas Eve and buy whatever was left.
To get started on this daunting task, do something that comes naturally, think about her. That’s right, think about everything you love and admire about her. Whatever it takes to get her on your mind, do it! The gift she really wants will come from knowing her and understanding her wants and desires.
So here is my Guy’s Guide to what she really wants for Christmas.
The gift of Bling!
I know that the saying a diamond is a girl’s best friend is a bit cliché but building on her jewelry wardrobe is usually not frowned upon! A simple pair of diamond studs or a beautiful solitaire pendant is able to be worn year round and looks great with everything from jeans, to that black dress that drives you crazy. To really take it up a notch, put the studs in the ears, or the pendant around the neck, or a teddy bear you made for her.
The gift of Sexy!
Every woman wants to know that her partner thinks she’s sexy and sleepwear is always a great place to start. Keep it classy not trashy and don’t make it about you! If you are not sure of her size, go one size smaller than your best guess! Victoria’s Secret and Pajamagram.com are great resources. Partner this with some candles and chocolate-covered strawberries from Godiva and you are well on your way to a winner.
The gift of Relaxation!
You and I both know she deserves a little “me” time! (Putting up with us men must be exhausting!) This year, give her a certificate for a couples’ massage at her favorite spa or if the budget allows for it, a complete day of pampering! On a smaller budget? Stop by Bath and Body Works and build her a basket with Aromatherapy.
The gift of Humor!
They say that humor is the key to a great relationship but gifting humor is risky. When done right though, it can lead to one of the best date nights ever. To pull off this gift, you should start with something a bit more romantic like reservations at her favorite restaurant then follow it up with tickets to The Laugh Factory or a local comedy club.
The gift of Family!
Whether it’s just the two of you, you have children together or Fido is your kid, family means everything to her. Give her a gift that celebrates that. Find your favorite image of your family and have it sewn into a throw blanket or create a picture book of the milestones that make your family.
The gift of You!
What she really wants this Christmas is to spend time with the love of her life. Find her favorite romantic movie (can’t go wrong with The Notebook!) and wrap it up with the fluffiest blanket you can find, a bottle of her favorite wine and 2 personalized wine glasses.
I hope this gets your creative juices flowing. If you can pull this off and really get her what she wants this year, you will make her happy and all of her friends jealous. (It may even make the trip to the mall and all those screaming kids worth it.) I would love to hear your ideas and ladies help us men out by leaving a few of your own suggestions in the comments. Merry Christmas!
