This step is the most simple. If you pay attention over time, your girlfriend has likely dropped some hints or flat out told you what she wants. You don’t even have to try to pick out the perfect gift when she probably told you weeks or months ago. Be a good listener because if you nail this gift, they’ll be guaranteed to love it AND know that you were listening to them.
Keep Notes
Were you listening to the hints your girlfriend was dropping, but when you think about the gift you forgot what it was she mentioned? Or maybe you remember what the gift was but you forgot the specific but important details such as brand or color? Start writing these ideas down as soon as you hear them. Keep a running list on your phone or notepad on your laptop whenever you get ideas for gifts. Write down the specifics and add to the idea over time. Have fun with your ideas!
Go Nuts
Going a little crazy on your gift will make it stand out. If you have a lot of ideas and one is a little off the wall, don’t immediately toss that idea. It may be the most unique gift your girlfriend has ever received! Unique gifts almost always have a personal touch, making the gift even more special. A unique and personal gift will elevate the gift to the next level.
One friend recently designed a unique piece of jewelry his girlfriend wouldn’t stop talking about using lab-created diamonds because he knew the environment was important to her. The gift is trending as well. Ashley Graham, Ali Larter, Molly Sims and Kate Mara have all been seen wearing similar, sustainable diamond pieces recently. Thinking outside the box of just traditional jewelry made this gift a hit.
Think Smaller
Did you pick out one larger gift? Consider filling the gift or gift box with all of your girlfriend’s other favorite things. Bonus points if the smaller items fit into the theme of your larger gift. Filling gift with smaller gifts makes the gift way more romantic and shows that you care about the little things, too.
Presentation
You’ve worked hard on your gift. Don’t mess it up by forgetting about the presentation. When you take the time to properly gift wrap the present, you help build anticipation when opening the gift. Suck at gift wrapping? Check with the store, often they can gift wrap the present for you for free or for a very small fee.
Don’t hold back on your gifts, often there’s even more you can do to make it even more special. Follow these steps and you’re guaranteed to bring home the perfect gift. Presents help your girlfriend feel appreciated and loved, but it’s also a rewarding process for you. Making your girlfriend feel special is one of the best feelings in the world.
