Gifts for your girlfriend – do’s and don’ts

Your girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and you are having a hard time finding her a present. If that is your case here are some tips on which gifts you should refrain from purchasing and which you should consider getting her.

Avoid buying your girlfriend:
A vacuum cleaner - the last thing that you want to do is to make your girlfriend feel like a housemaid. Therefore avoid getting her a vacuum cleaner at all costs even though she may need one because hers is broken. Also in that area, stay away from the frying pan and all other kind of kitchen accessories. Of course there is an exception, if she specifically wants one, but in no other case.
Clothes - girls love clothes but you may send the wrong message if you don’t get it right. For example if you buy her clothes that are too small she will get all sad about being too fat, and if you get her clothes which are too big she will assume that you think that she is fat. As you can see in both cases you won’t achieve the desired effect.
A steering wheel cover - car enthusiast or not this gift won’t be appreciated by both men and women. Therefore avoid getting her any type of car accessories and especially a steering wheel cover.
A teddy bear - do you know how many teddy bears a girl receives in her lifetime? A lot! Therefore avoid being making a cliché gift and get her something original and straight from the heart. Show her that you know what she needs and likes.

What can you buy for your girlfriend:
Spa weekend - hire professionals who offer cleaning in Wimbledon to clean her house for her and take her to a spa weekend where she will be able to rest and relax in fill. You can find the best cleaners in Wimbledon by reading the cleaning section of the yellow pages.
Subscribe her to her favorite magazine - girls adore reading all kinds of magazines. Therefore you won’t make a mistake if you subscribe your girlfriend to her favorite magazines.
Jewelry - buy some pretty jewels which you girlfriend will appreciate. For example get her a nice pair of earrings with a matching medallion.

In Conclusion

Sometimes the best gift doesn't cost much. It just needs to be from the heart. A simple gesture can mean a lot more than an expensive and meaningless stuffed toy. So just listen to your heart and you will find it.
