Ideas on what to buy your new hookup.
The Crush Gift - For the Guy
When you want to let a guy know you are salivating at the mouth for him to ask you out, you need to drop some subtle but not too obvious hints with gifts. You definitely want to come across as vampy and sexy not trampy and sleazy. So choose carefully. A little bit of sophistication is in order here for sure.
So no glow in the dark thongs or edible undies for the male prospect, how about a romantic classy cd or for the fine wine drinker or booze connoisseur a find bottle of Scotch or something imported. Seems a little less desperate and classy at the same time.
The Crush Gift - For the Gal
As much as you maybe want to see what she looks like in some scanty lingerie with cutouts, it is not exactly the way you want to portray yourself as a safe and potential dating prospect.
Try some expensive perfume or fine imported chocolates with maybe some wine as one option or some bath oils and candles can be very personal as well, so unless she has harsh allergies to the smelly stuff you will definitely come across as mature and responsible.
Keep it simple when you are trying to show your interest in someone - you don't want to scare them off and change their number because you crossed over the line.
The "just started dating" gift - For the Male
You seem to be getting along really well and are saying to yourself, "Wow, is this ever going great", but it's just that, great. You still need to tread carefully as to not scare him off and think you are "nesting" already so early into the relationship.
After your conversations of getting to know each other, you should now be able to get him a book that he would love to read, something maybe that you discussed for his car already or even inviting him over for an enticing "I think you are great too" type of romantic dinner, of course made by you and some home baked goods are a good way of impressing him with your domestic diva self for the time being.
The "just started dating" Gift - For the Female
Same goes actually. Books, a nice wine or perfume can still apply here with maybe a little more geared toward her interests that you have taken the time to get to know.
A meal made by a man in an apron giving her the night off including clean up and nice soft music, is a great way to show her your sensitive side. You don't want to scare her off by going over board with say a bachelor pad that has beer cans for candle holders and unmade beds reeking of a locker room. So make sure you have the right backdrop and surroundings for a nice dinner, and be prepared to say good night without expecting anything in return. After all, it was just a dinner, you didn't exactly go to the other side of the world for the steaks you just had.
You are a Gift Item - for the Male
You basically want to let him know that you have paid attention and that you recognize his interests and desires. If he has been aspiring for years about sky diving with his friends then look into buying him some lessons or maybe a package that he can have others join in as well, after all, he may just invite you along since you were the one who showed enthusiasm for his interests. He will cherish what you give him when it comes to sports if that's what he is into or things on cars for that matter or even an engraved watch. They are all personal items that he may not buy himself and are not holding him to anything too scary. A package for a night for two at an exclusive resort too soon into the relationship can have him running for the door remember because it is too entrapping for him - you might as well just move your stuff into his apartment for that matter.
You are an item Gift - For the Female
You have been listening to her dreams and aspirations with each meeting on a regular basis, now you want to let her know that you are into her interests (some of them) as well. Such as maybe a bike rental for a day for some outdoor togetherness, or an amusement park reservation on a ride for two - all romantic but make sure its something she's into. Not all women are pushovers for the romance part of things and may enjoy some horseback riding with her friends or a ticket for a flight to visit her parents are all right up there for making a girl feel as though you are into her. But, as women are warned of coming across stalker like as well you need to be careful of booking actual dates and times and with whom she will be going with - some women are born independent and wish to make their own arrangements.
You are in a long relationship Gift - For the Male
You have now become so comfortable with your gal that you no longer worry about the formalities of closing the bathroom door or brushing your teeth before she kisses you in the morning. Your gifts can now be humorous, seriously speaking or large and small. You don't want to lose your romance ever so be think twice about getting her new utensils for the kitchen in the home that you both share. Still keep it personal or something that you both want like perhaps a digital camera, computer that you are both able to use or something along those lines. Letting her know that you have her in your future plans with household items is still acceptable at this point - but tread carefully - talk about it first so you are sure she really wants to forgo the personal touch to domesticity.
You are in a long relationship Gift - For the Female
Well, he has now seen you in your granny panties and usually is on to when it's not a good time for you for hooking up at night. Your sexy lingerie only comes out once in a while and you now have honed in on your favorite show at night in your flannel pj's and massive slippers while you snack nonstop. Once you are at this point in your relationship, you still need to keep things smoldering in the bedroom and in his heart. Try not to get so comfortable that you give him insight as to looking like your mother when you are 50. Don't scare him. Try to keep some romance and provocative ness alive.
A gift for him can be some upgrades to his already great self…like some high priced designer sun glasses that he would ooh and aah over, or some things for your place that you both want as mentioned above for men such as a camcorder, digital camera or something else that you both would love. Usually shows you are into the relationship but respect his space and have not become a replacement for his mother.
Resurrection after Marriage Gift - For the Men
So you married her and you can be rest assured that now you are in your comfort zone as well and no longer worry about trivial matters that used to provoke down and dirty fights earlier in your relationship. You have both matured and now you need to not only enforce your love for her with sweet and sensitive gifts but show the magnetism that you still have for her at all times, after all, she needs to know that her comfort has not turned you off. You can still indulge in together-gifts that you both want, and you can be wild and naughty too, after all, she is yours forever and you have her to yourself now, so show it. Sexy lingerie once in a while is still a nice reminder to her that you find her sexy, but too much just becomes a bore like anything repetitive. Too many domestic gifts are a no no this far into your relationship - she will start to feel as though she is only there for your cooking and cleaning so don't go there unless she specifically cut out the picture and begged for it - then its her doing. Remember how you used to dream of going away for a weekend with her when you were dating, so why not take her away now? Nothing says, I enjoy your company more than whisking her away for a romantic weekend alone.
Resurrection after Marriage Gift - For the Female
The holy matrimony was long ago and the wedding pictures have dust on them. You both are talking about or have already delved into parenthood and now there just is not the time or effort that you have to spend on him. He needs to know that he is still your man; he may now give up the Sunday game's for you or the kids, and has become a good provider and constant pillar of support in your life. You need to file the housewife and maternal instincts sometimes, and bring out the vamp that he melted for in your earlier days together. A teaser of some leopard edibles are now in order for him, he will feel as though you are still into him and that he is your "Daddy".
Together gifts are still considered on the list when it comes to things you may both want for the house, but you need to be careful with the honey to do list of things. Nothing but a screwdriver, a drill and perhaps an indication that the sink needs to be fixed could be taken the wrong way as an indication that he is your convenience to have things fixed and not your lover as well. Unless he makes sighing noises and love in eyes in the power tool department at the store, make sure it's truly what he wants as well.
A not going anywhere relationship gift - For the Male
If you are in a beating dead horse (pardon the pun) relationship then all of these pointers are probably not what you would want to follow in the first place. Mind you, if you didn't want to be in your relationship you likely wouldn't even be here reading these gift ideas.
To let a woman know that she has put on a few pounds by giving her a gym membership is a sure fire way to get her up off the couch, probably to chase you around with a bat however, it's a major insult to a woman if you find she is no longer is attractive. Short of giving her a paper bag to wear when you go out in public, you are best to just cut her loose before you have to resort to insulting gifts. If she really doesn't get the hint, be sure to let her know that "for someone with such a limited physical appeal, you would think you would have a better personality to make up for already such a loss". That should do'er!
A not going any place relationship gift - For the Female
Well you have tried training him to eat with a fork, have had him waxed or shaved down so he was able to go on the beach without someone calling the humane society because of the wild animal on the beach, and most of all you have dropped some hints and even spelled it out for him. Chances are he just doesn't get it. Some good but bad gifts at this point could be moving your stuff into his bachelor pad - insulting his mother or sister - and of course flirting with his friends on a regular basis. If he still thinks your grand, try some air fresheners with strings and ask him to wear them around his neck - sounds mean, but he should start to get the hint when he comes to pick you up and either you are not there or you answer the door with a clothespin clipped to your nose. Cut 'em loose while you can - you don't need "stalker" boy to ignore your hints on purpose.
