Romantic Gifts for the Holidays
November 23, 2006
It happens every year . The holidays sneak up and so many men struggle in the eleventh hour to find the perfect gift for the special woman in their lives. And last-minute shopping amidst endless gift suggestions can be overwhelming. So how can you choose that perfect romantic gift to steal a woman's heart? Here's how - and you don't have to break the budget to do it!
Separated for the Holidays
If you are going to be away from your wife or girlfriend this year, choose a gift that will tell her that you are thinking of her, wherever you are. If she has a sweet tooth, delicious cookies that can be delivered right to her front door are a super idea.
"My favorite gift is Fresh Milk & Cookies from Mrs. Fields (mrsfields.com). Imagine the look on her face when she finds the package on her doorstep," says Boulton. "It's tasty, it's unique, and it really says, 'I'm thinking of you.'"
Diamonds a Dozen
Women love diamonds, but if fine jewels aren't in your budget, buy her jewelry and accessories that can be worn for multiple occasions.
"Choose a piece that compliments her style and can be worn both day and night," suggests Boulton. Carolee (available at Macy's) offers beautiful collections ranging from classic chocolate pearls to unique beaded earrings, rings, and bracelets. Carolee jewelry is the perfect gift because no matter where she is or what she is wearing, she'll be reminded of you when she wears it.
Sensual Scents
Women love cosmetics and fragrances - it makes them feel beautiful, confident and desirable. "A sensuous fragrance such as the brand-new Danielle by Danielle Steel (available at Macy's) is timeless," says Boulton. "Classic fragrances are always a well-received romantic gift!"
Remember, it's ultimately the thought that counts. The easiest way to wow your special someone this season is with a romantic gift that reflects her personality, likes, and style. A thoughtful gift is always the most cherished. Just ask your mom . she probably has all those homemade cards that you made as a kid still tucked away in a box in her bedroom.
