Getting the right Gifts this Christmas

Five tips for buying the perfect Christmas presents for women

Follow this quick guide to buying gifts for your partners and you will be the the star on the tree, not the turkey in the oven.

Tip 1

Always buy more than one gift- We recommend that you buy at least three gifts for you women this year and selecting a gift that fits into each of the following categories will give you plenty of scope for hitting the spot.

Buy practical

Even if your wife, girlfriend or fiancé is an absolute disaster in the kitchen or doesn't know how to switch on the Hoover, this should not deter you from buying something practical. A new hair dryer, TV or slippers can fall into this category. You are trying to get something that will be used on a regular basis throughout the year so that she will be reminded of how thoughtful you are all year around. Be careful, if you get this one wrong you can give her a reminder of how thoughtless you can be, don't cop out on this, read tip 2.

Buy personal

Buy a personal gift which is just for her and no one else. You must be really careful to select the right gift in this category as failure can lead to a big disappointment on both sides, read tip 2 before deciding on a gift in this category. Buying lingerie may seem like a good idea for younger couples but this may not be so. Fancy lingerie is a shared gift for most couples and buying underwear is a cop out for young men. You must buy something that she wants, not something that you see in a shop window and think that she may like. See tip 2

Buy shared

A shared gift is something that both of you can participate in or enjoy, this may be something from the bedroom department or even something like a short break holiday or family game. Shared time is a big thing on most women's agenda's so make sure that this gift shows her that you want to spend time together.

Tip 2

Find out exactly what she wants or needs. You must to listen to the lady of your life to find out what she might want this Christmas. Most women drop hints as to what they would like, but you can score some really big points if you can find out something that she wants without her knowing that you know. This is not as simple as sitting down and saying "So what would you like for Christmas this year". If you can get here in a discussion about her childhood experiences of Christmas then you may be rewarded with a "I always wanted a ### but never got one" sentence.

Tip 3

Check sizes. If your going to buy clothing or shoes, make sure you have a root around and get the sizes of her current wardrobe. Also, remember to check with the shop assistants or another female for store/brand size variations. Some stores or brands can be more generous than others so knowledge of this can ensure you get it spot on.

Tip 4

Wrap it yourself. Gift wrapping services are great for presentation and saving time but the personal touch will score better.(don't forget to remove price tags)

Tip 5

Keep it secret.
