1. There are no suitable gifts in a convenience store

but I like power tools!  1. no convience store gifts 2. nothin you are giving my mom 3. Books are great as long as I don't own them already 4. no clothes, includes lingerie, nothing is more embarassing then having to return it and get a different size. 5. no jewelry if you have never given it before, unless its small. Big jewelry = big guilt. 6. chocolate is very good. |

From: someone Merwan Marker 4. Don't give her power tools! 5. Don't give her household appliances! RoFLOL thank you katykiwi for starting this thread! ] Amongst my favorite gifts and they were on my wish list were electric drill, electric screwdriver, staple gun, glue gun. And I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the VCR too. He didn't know how to use the VCR so I programmed that too.
hehe.... Some women are "handyman" in the house cause some men aren't. |

1. No convience store gifts.
2. Nothing you are giving my/your mom.
3. Don't buy me something that's really for you.
4. No lingerie (see #3), especially in front of parents or children.
5. Chocolate is ok, but don't buy it for me AND make any comments whatsoever about my weight.
6. For me it isn't about the money. I'd rather have somrthing thoughtful than something expensive.
7. Reserve flowers for another occasion.

Accepting hints is not cheating, and is not an affront to your gifting prowess.
If you do very well with an obviously appreciated gift, do not pump your fist in the air and say, "Yessss!" This tends to spoil the moment.

also, Don't demand a list of stuff to pick from. If you've known her a year you should know at least some of her likes and dislikes. But that works the other way too. |

1. Cleaning-products/housework-appliances are not gifts, unless YOU plan on using them.
2. Don't tell us that your former girlfriend/ex loved it so you thought we would too.
3. Above all else, it really is the thought that counts. Just don't make that thought, "I wasn't really thinking of you."

I like power tools too! Power tools are a totally appropriate gift for handygirls. |
