Face it, special occasions for men are few and at best they just don't carry as much weight as they do for women. How did we get to the point where special occasions became so significant to a woman and so extremely important to us as men as not delivering the perfect gift or a gift of any sorts measured the magnitude of how we felt towards the woman we are with.
If you are a man, married, engaged, or have a girlfriend that you love deeply, you best begin thinking about those five occasions that occur throughout the year. Those occasions being your anniversary, her birthday, valentine's day, Christmas, and just because I love you day. These occasions are significant because they are the days when the magnifying glass is placed directly on you by your significant other who expects nothing less than the best or at least some sort of thinking of you on this special day surprise or gift.
It is strange that a girlfriend or fiance also celebrates anniversaries even when you haven't proposed or gotten married yet. How do you as a man keep up with all these special occasions? Most importantly, how do you find the perfect gift year after year when your significant other seems to have everything? For sure, creativity on your part is definitely a skill that if you don't possess now, will be one for the ages that you will have to acquire the older the relationship becomes because she is going to spend every waken moment throwing you hints until you get it.
You have some options when considering gifts for you significant other that range from flowers, jewelry, clothing, handbags, vacation, new car, and any other thing that you can possibly think of. The key here is knowing the woman that you are with and understanding what she likes.
In analyzing some of these special gifts, flowers are definitely a just because I love you gift because they are temporary in nature and are a simple gesture of thoughtfulness. They are also great on valentines day, anniversary, and birthday. However, for anniversaries, birthdays, and valentines, flowers alone will not be enough as the gift has to measure up to the occasion. Unlike a just because day when a gift is not expected these occasions have been planned the year prior after she took inventory of the gifts she received.
No matter how you go about being spontaneous or creative when selecting a gift for your significant other, always remember that she is less forgiving when you forget the occasion versus when you remember and get the wrong gift. Planning ahead is the best solution as last minute shopping for a special occasion means that you rush to get a gift that you may have not put much thought into. Trust me, she will know.
