Presents. In my opinion, this can be one stressful part of a relationship. Why? That’s simple. Unless you have some sort of psychic mind – reading powers, you probably don’t know the exact present to get someone. Stressful enough as it is, not knowing what to get a “significant other” can be incredibly overwhelming.
It’s not just the process of brainstorming a good idea either, there’s always a question on price or quantity. Like if you get your boyfriend a lovely shirt, and he comes in with a bag full of stuff for you… it can lead to tension, which no one wants.
So how can you completely avoid this problem?
YOU CAN’T!!!!!!!
But how can we try to completely avoid this problem? Much easier.
First of all, before you even start thinking of a present for your boyfriend/girlfriend, set a price limit. It may sound bad, but it’s completely necessary. Without an understanding on a price ball park, how are you or your BF/GF supposed to know what to get?
Secondly, don’t think of stereotypical gift ideas. If your BF/GF likes American Eagle, for example, it doesn’t mean that their gift has to come from American Eagle!
Third, try to put as much thought into the gift as possible. For example, don’t just get him any shirt. Get him the shirt that he said he liked when you went to the mall together last weekend.
Lastly, always remember it’s not always about the material item, it’s the thought that counts. Sometimes your BF/GF will get you something inconsiderate, unimportant, trivial, insignificant or just plain ugly. My advice? Just try be thankful…because it probably could be worse.
Have you had any bad experiences with gifts from your BF/GF? Let me know!
