When it comes to buying presents, we all have problems choosing the right gifts. Getting it right and knowing how delighted your loved ones are with the gifts you've chosen is a fabulous feeling. Think about things your partner buys for themselves, as well as their personal style, hobbies and interests; and what their passions are. People are always unconsciously rambling about stuff they want: all you have to do is listen. Choosing gifts just because you like them is a no-no. Your own taste is irrelevant.
Generally, men are happy with gifts that fill a "need" - something that they no longer have to purchase for themselves (perhaps this is the reason for the "guys like power tools for gifts" stereotype). Note of all of the things he gets excited about in the store or during commercials. When I was dating my husband, the most romantic gift I would receive from him was some electric accessories, while my gifts for him were kitchen equipment. We learned by paying attention to each others needs and desires!

When buying for a woman, be sure to get her something that is going to send the message "I spent some time thinking about this”. You want to focus on getting something that she would not normally be able to buy for herself - an extravagance! Extravagance does not have to mean ridiculously expensive. You don't have to get the biggest, just aim for the best.
