A Romantic Gift For Him
Buying gifts for a man is easy if you know
what his interests are. And while many of the gifts that
men like won't necessarily qualify as 'romantic' - at
least from a woman's point of view - this is the time to
be a little flexible in your approach.
What's the point of buying him a designer bath set when he'd
rather have a new pair of running shoes?
After all, the idea behind gift giving is that you give the
person something they'll treasure, or at least appreciate. And
while it might not be what you'd want for yourself, this is
about him. So maybe it's time to expand the definition of a
romantic gift.
What Men Want
We once overheard a male friend complaining, ”Just once I'd
like to open a Christmas gift and find a great set of wrenches
instead of socks and a silk bathrobe!”
Another man we read about lamented, “Wouldn't it be great to
have my girlfriend say to me, 'I love it when you turn up for
dinner with grease under your fingernails after working in your
garage. And I hope you realize that I don't mind how long you
spend in there because I know how much you enjoy it.' If she
said something like that instead of carping at me for wasting
time in the garage, I'd know she accepts me for who I am.”
On the other hand, a male schoolteacher we know said, “I'd love
a woman to send me flowers. Or give me a book of poetry by my
favorite Australian bush poets. It would show that she's taken
the time to learn what I like.”
So obviously it takes all kinds. Many men enjoy receiving
sensual gifts from their lovers, while other prefer something
“practical”. And many women accept and support their
boyfriends' preoccupations with “guy stuff” and buy them
exactly what they want. One woman whose husband loved putting
things together presented him with his gift in pieces (each
individually wrapped) so he'd have the additional pleasure of
assembling it himself. He was absolutely blown away by her
thoughtfulness.
How About The Man In Your
Life?
Where does your relationship fit in? Is your partner an action
man? Mr. Wall Street? A brooding rebel? A sensitive writer or
artist? A solid citizen? Or any of the other million variations
we see in the male gender?
Whoever he is, he has his own likes and dislikes, things that
excite him and things that bore him to tears. So if you don't
know him well enough to buy him a gift he'll salivate over (and
we don't mean Playboy magazine), ask someone who does. That
might include
- The man himself
- His best friend
- His brother
- His father
Or simply observe what he likes and dislikes and file the
information away for when you need it.
