How to Help Your Guy Give You a Great Christmas Present

Let’s face it ladies, men can’t read minds, many can’t take a hint, and some appear to be completely handicapped when it comes to buying a decent Christmas present for their ladylove. You may be thinking, “Isn’t it the thought that counts?” The thing is, most women put a lot of care, time, and effort into buying presents for their man only to disappointed with a present bought on Christmas Eve at a local discount store reflecting little thought at all. Fortunately, with a little guidance and preparation, you can look forward to opening presents on Christmas morning!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• pen
• paper
• sizes

1. Bracelet available at www.jcp.com Know what you want. A man certainly cannot be expected to present you with the perfect Christmas gift if you have no idea what you want. Surf the Net, browse catalog, walk through stores … anything to form a specific list of appropriate potential Christmas presents for your sweetie. And when I say specific, I mean specific, for example: 3/16” 14K solid gold bangle bracelet.
2. PJ's available at www.jcp.com Give your guy an accurate, comprehensive list of your sizes in tops, bottoms, socks, undies, pajamas, shoes, hats, gloves, etc. Sure, your mate could always go peek in a closet or drawer to find the proper size, but we all know that’s not going to happen. And if it did happen, they’d either happen to look at the skinny clothes we can’t bear to part with or our fat pants for the days we’re retaining water.
3. Drill available at www.lowes.com Guide your man to specific stores you like or else he’ll think it’s okay to browse for your presents in the Home Depot. No offense intended if that’s your cup of tea, but personally, I would rather my husband not be able to borrow my Christmas presents.
4. Instead of setting a dollar limit, set a dollar range. Some men pride themselves on finding a good deal, and you might not appreciate being the recipient of an obscure but deeply discounted gift from Big Lots.

Tips & Warnings

• Do be sure to spend as much time, effort, and money on his gift as you expect him to spend on yours!
