Top Gift Ideas

The three top gift giving holidays or events are Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Birthdays. The gifts most frequently given by men to women for each of these three occasions are:

Christmas: Jewelry
Valentine's Day: Jewelry
Birthdays: Jewelry

Are you seeing a trend here? Number one on the list of top gift ideas for men to give to women is jewelry but there is a huge variety of choices. There are necklaces, bracelets, broaches and rings and then there are the choices of precious metal and precious and semi precious stones. Mind boggling!

Women do, of course, give gifts of jewelry to the men in their lives. The choices are not quite as great. Women give men bracelets or rings usually. There are still the choices of precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones.

The number two most often given gift is flowers. Men more often send flowers to women but there is a definite trend more and more today of women sending flowers to the men that they love.

Jewelry and flowers speak of love, there is not doubt. And those two have been number one and number two respectively for years. The trend will not likely change in the near future. There are, however, some more creative ideas for gifts for all gift-giving occasions.

1. Give tickets. Give your significant other tickets to a concert, a play or for a trip to some far-away and exotic place. This is a gift that takes some planning and it means that you really need to know the recipient well. It wouldn't do to give him tickets to a football game if he isn't into sports or to give her tickets for a cruise if she is prone to sea-sickness.
2. Give a hobby or interest related gift. This kind of gift also means that the gift-giver needs to know the recipient well. For example: if your significant other is a real wine lover, you might give him or her a set of wine glasses. If your he or she loves to cook, maybe you could give them a set of chef knives.

One idea for all gifts is to personalize the gift. Have his or her initials engraved, printed, stamped or sewn onto a gift so that the gift is obviously only for the recipient and no other. Personalization makes even a small gift special.

Choosing just the right gift for any occasion means that the gift-giver needs to know the gift recipient well enough to be able to choose for them. The main trick to all successful gift-giving is observation. A man should notice whether a woman prefers dangly earrings or studs before he buys her a gift of earrings and before a woman buys a man a gift of a sweater, she needs to have observed what kind of sweaters he wears and if he wears them at all.

It has been said that there are no 'wrong' gifts but I say that a gift that is not one that will be really appreciated by the recipient is a lost opportunity to enhance the relationship. Know her or know him and buy something that tells him or her that you know them well and that you want them to be happy.
