How to Select a Gift for Your Wife |
|
Your
wife would probably much rather receive a gold bracelet than a new
vacuum cleaner. To make the best impression, avoid the practical. |
| |
|
Steps: |
|
1. |
Buy
something that will make her feel sexy and feminine. A silk robe,
lingerie and expensive perfumes are good choices. |
| |
|
2. |
Give
her a weekend away with you - no kids. |
| |
|
3. |
Buy
two tickets to a symphony concert, play or opera. Accompany her
without complaining. |
| |
|
4. |
Find
an exquisite crystal vase and fill it with roses. |
| |
|
5. |
Buy
a picnic basket and stock it with enough food and wine for the two
of you. |
| |
|
6. |
Hire
a housekeeper. |
| |
|
7. |
Buy
her a good camera. |
| |
|
8. |
Find
a book that is signed by her favorite author. |
| |
|
9. |
Arrange
for art lessons, piano lessons, cooking lessons or French lessons,
according to her interests. |
| |
|
10. |
If
you can afford it, buy her a car. |
| |
| |
| DO!: |
|
|
Wives
may consider gift certificates too impersonal. Unless it's a
certificate for something specific - such as a week at a luxury
spa - you'd be better off buying something else. |
| |
|
|
You
can't go wrong with art, jewelry, clothes, a purse or chocolates. |
| |
|
|
If
she's developing a new hobby such as golf or tennis, give her
lessons or a new set of clubs or a racket. |
| |
| |
| DON'T |
|
|
Giving
a makeover or exercise equipment is likely to give your wife the
wrong message. Avoid these gifts unless she has expressed a desire
for such things. |
