I'm not even sure I can speak on the behalf of most woman because I am not very traditional. I am not that " He should of went to Jared" kinda gal. Love to me means he went to Ticket Master, purchased tickets to a sporting event ( hopefully the Yankees! ) and then would buy me a beer once we get there. See, easy. Personally, I think we are not such complex creatures to buy for. Men would beg to differ. And I don't envy them for a minute. But.......wait! You guys are not the easiest to buy for either! As a woman it is so hard to be creative. What guy wants another sweater or tie? Regardless, it is always the thought that counts.
In my early twenties I started dating someone just a few months before the holiday season. I think I bought him a sweater and cologne. I just purchased a new car a few months earlier and he lived in a not-so-great section of town. He bought me a gift card and The Club. And when I reference "The Club" I mean that erect piece of steel that locks to your steering wheel for vehicle safety. The device that if someone really wants the car and knows what their doing they could steal it in a few minutes flat. I may be a sarcastic person and find everything funny but, I have to say, I found this a bit charming. He knew he didn't live in the best area but did know I would come to his house to spend time with him and his family on the weekends. It was his way of saying "come, visit and feel some comfort that your shit won't get jacked real quickly". So sweet. We dated for quite sometime and my car was never stolen. My purse was another story. I would have to hide it when his Uncle with a stealing problem would stop by.
Guys, Gals, good luck shopping for one another. I hope that you all find the perfect gift that compliments your significant other.
Good luck!
