So guys, you've heard that it’s not the gift that counts, but the thought? Well, what if I told you that how you package, or deliver your gift, can be just as important as the gift itself? Perhaps even more so, as the memory of the experience will stay with your special someone forever. Here are a few fun and easy tips to help you charm your girl.
And, there is no need to get anxious about how much you should spend, or that a gift has to be something particularly exceptional. Everyone knows money is tight right now for most people, and a little creativity will knock our socks off!
For those of you who want a hand figuring out what to do, we share the Top Ten Ways to Impress Your Girl with Gift-Giving Style. And guess what? A lot of these things you probably have around the house. The gift? Something simple, we have a few suggestions for you, but first look at how you can present your gift and create that special experience all of us ladies are really looking for.
10. You Can't Go Wrong with Chocolate: wouldn't it be sweet to pull a small gift out of a bowl of chocolate kisses? Wrap your gift in a small box, or leave it loose, and bury it in the dish of chocolates, or, let the chocolate be the distraction, drop a beautiful silver ring in with all those kisses and tell her to close her eyes and fish around for “a special piece.” What you'll need: A bag of kisses and a nice bowl.
9. Have her wear it, without even knowing: Place your gift into the pocket of her favorite robe, coat or sweater. When she puts it on she’ll notice, or, you can give her a few hints. What You'll Need: her favorite piece of clothing with a pocket.
8. Create a Scavenger Hunt: A few (maybe four or five) clues strategically placed around the house or apartment will build suspense, enthrall her and demonstrate your cleverness and charm. What you'll need: white paper, red pen and a little creative wit.
7. Gift-on-the-Go: She'll be delighted when she heads to the gym and finds a little package in her bag... She's not an exercise fiend? Place it into a pocket of her purse, then call her a few hours later and tell her to look for that special something. What you'll need: her purse or gym bag.
6. Breakfast of Champions: Think about her first drink or meal of the day, and selectively place a necklace or ring into her favorite coffee mug, glass, or cereal bowl. What you'll need: kitchen pottery.
5. Office Mate: Does she work at home, or hop online after work? Sneak something on to her keyboard, or in the top drawer of her desk. What you'll need: home office or laptop.
4. Enlist a Little Assistance: Ask for the help of a friend. Have them drop by her office just to, "say hello." Once there, they can either sneak it onto her desk, or say the have a “Special Delivery.” What you'll need: good friend with sense of humor.
3. Memo: Ask one of her co-workers (probably someone who's close) to slip the gift into an office file they know she'll be the next to use, into her in-basket, etc. What you'll need: a sneaky colleague and maybe some beer to say "thanks".
2. Let Her Pet do the Talking – if there's a resident Fido or friendly kitty, tie a ring or dinner invitation around their neck and let him/her play courier. What you'll need: ribbon and an affectionate, cooperative pet.
1. Pillow Talk: This may be an obvious one, but you don’t have to deliver in the obvious way (a box on her pillow). Place the gift under her pillow, slip it in a pouch and put it under the sheets on her side of the bed, in the drawer on top of her night gowns or put a gift card in the book she is reading. (Well...if she's reading a book on V-Day, you may want to re-evaluate where this relationship is headed and think of a few ways to spice things up.) What you'll need: pillow, sheets, drawer or book.
