Buying Personal Gifts for Your Wife
Dave Pipitone
The plain truth is: wives talk to one another about their husbands. Women spend a lot of time and effort thinking about their lives and their relationships. Husbands who give the right “personal gifts” to their wives at the right time can win their wives' affection, love and admiration for years to come. The right “personal gift” is a conversation piece that is shared with you and her friends.
Here’s a recent example. I have bought a lot of jewelry as presents for my wife. This past Spring, we attended a bowling fund-raiser for our school. The organizers sponsored a Silent Auction. I bid on and won a purple necklace of Swarovski crystals that I gave to my wife. She absolutely loves it! It matches her personal wardrobe, it is attractive and it is unique. She has told a lot of other women about it, who want to get one, too.
Personal gifts for your wife may be different. While there are so many different gifts that you can give, the ones that are personally meaningful to your wife will make her feel treasured and cherished. When a husband lavishes attention on his wife, she will broadcast her good fortune to all of her family, friends and acquaintances.
Here are some special considerations that as a husband, you can think of when you choose personal gifts for your wife.
Make It Personal to Her
No washing machines, ironing boards or toasters! Buy your wife something that she would love to have for herself, but has hesitated to buy it. More than 10 years ago, one Christmas, I found out what my wife’s dress size was and then I hit several dress stores at a local super mall. I bought her three or four dresses as Christmas presents. She loved every one of them. She still keeps them in her closet and wears them. She still remembers that Christmas, too.
Be Unique
No one has the opportunity to know your wife’s deepest desires than you do. Be unique with gift giving. That might mean buying her favorite type of candy or taking her out to her favorite restaurant for an extravagant meal. My wife keeps a gum ball machine in the house and one of her unique gifts at Christmas was a large box of gum ball refills.
When I dated my wife before we married, I discovered that she loved Baskin Robbins ice cream. There weren’t any stores in our town, so we had to drive 40 miles one-way to buy it. When her birthday came in January, I ordered a Baskin Robbins birthday kit, complete with 31 Flavors carousel, napkins, party hats, and of course, ice cream. She loved it! We still have the photographs.
Pamper Your Wife
Give your wife the absolute best quality that you can. While you don’t have to always buy the most expensive gifts, doing that once in a while can go a long way to making her feel cherished. For example, buy a candy gift from Harry and David’s catalog or retail store every so often. Order fresh flower bouquets on-line when your wife least expects it. Go to a nice play with an elegant dinner beforehand or afterwards. Give her a night, a day or a weekend to remember.
Give the Best Gift - Yourself!
Give your wife the precious gift of your undivided attention and time. Focus on wanting to be with no one but her. Share a handwritten note, your fabulous smile and wit. Cuddle. Make love to each other. Have an everyday honeymoon.
Your wife is the most precious gift that you may ever have. Give her the best personal gift of your time, love and attention.
