Romance Tips and
Romantic Ideas
"Holiday Dating:
Finding The Right Gift For Your Sweetie"
by Daniel Karpelman
Dating relationships are tough
enough, but finding the perfect holiday gift for your latest flame can be even
tougher. Sending the wrong gift can also send the wrong message. And if you've
only been dating for a short time, you may even not yet know all of your
sweetie's interests and passions and the gift that will please them most.
And if you've
only been dating a short time, should you give a gift at all? If sparks are
mutually flying, go ahead and be as romantic as you feel. On the other hand,
you may want to tread lightly if you're not sure where you stand.
Sometimes an
overly romantic gift can create awkwardness when it's not reciprocated. It's
hard to go wrong with cologne. Something that shows a special effort can also
be a nice gesture. For example, homemade cookies in
a decorative tin or you can play DJ and burn a custom mix CD.
Still don't know where to start?
Here are some
ideas --
For
Her * A funky & casual watch with changeable bands * Bubble bath and soaps
in a matching scent * An assortment of gourmet chocolates * Luxurious cashmere
blanket
For Him
* A trio of gourmet coffees and a mug in his favorite color * Cigars * Leather
day planner or case for his iPod * Tickets to his favorite sporting event (but
you get to come along)
For Both of You * Champagne in a bucket engraved with your love
poem * Candlelit dinner out on the town * Sign up for dance lessons, and enjoy
an entire month of cha, cha, cha * An engraved ice cream scoop, assortment of
toppings and a quart of your favorite flavor.
If you're still puzzled on what
to give, how about a gift certificate? Although deciding from which store to
buy the certificate can be equally puzzling, GiftCertificates.com has an
innovative solution. Imagine giving a gift certificate where your sweetie can
choose their favorite store! GiftCertificates.com offers a
SuperCertificate® that lets the person receiving your gift pick from over
200 top stores, restaurants, spas, jewelers and more.
It's the gift that's always
appreciated because it also gives the gift of choice. Let her go wild! She
might love to be pampered with an indulgent soak in the tub with a gift
certificate from Spa Finder, a stack of romance novels from B. Dalton or even
the the perfect diamond from Blue Nile.com.
And for him? He'll get just what
he wants like a scarf to keep him warm on winter days from Barneys New York, a
sporty new watch from Fossil.com or a soft sweater from Land's End.
Your honey will
have fun choosing from these and thousands more gifts ... all the while
remembering you gave this wonderful gift experience. Sending the right gift not
only expresses your affection, but can also set the stage to answer the eternal
dating question, "Where is this relationship going?" Pick the right moment to
give your gift (a champagne toast under the mistletoe) and make it even more
memorable - a holiday filled with romance and laughter.
