Female to male gift giving for dummies.
-
Following the earlier thread, this is the guide for the ladies in our lives. Men don't really worry about messages - all we care about in a gift is: Is it a tool of some sort? Does it have a motor or electronics of any type? Does it make a rude noise of any sort? How much does it weigh (note to ladies here - this goes to the opposite of the way you think where a lighter gift is better, such as a ring or gold necklace)? The heavier the better as far as we're concerned. That's why a tie isn't that great a gift. Can we drink it?

:) What's funny is my wife is very familiar with my appreciation for gifts being directly related to the sounds they make or, equally important, the sound effects I can make while using them.

there was a flashing blue, vibrating (and singing) one that I think used heavy water as a component that was very popular for a while.... Unfortunately it wasn't producing enough fear, so it got used as an ornament for a few years....

I don't think these tips apply to my husband :( To start with, I'm more likely to want tools or things to drink than he. Electronics are generally pricey and thus go into the "we agree to buy this thing" category. He doesn't like any kind of clutter. It's difficult to find purely useful things that don't make a mess that are suitable for a gift. More advice please. ;)

Books always make great gifts. (And who, in 2007, does not have an Amazon wishlist??)

But what if you're male-to-female? :laugh:

My husband - however, good idea. Books are quite expensive as well so we seldom buy them new - thus a good gift. I'll keep an ear out for what he wants :)
