Whose Gift is it Anyway?
Gift-giving should be an Olympic sport, I think. It requires a
similar level of training, practice and dedication to get just
the right present. Honestly, its hard work. We use ourselves as
models, thinking: Id love thisso, of course he will too. But
sometimes we empathize a tad too much and end up with an US
gift.
The US Gift
Whats that? Its a gift thats meant for your sweetheart that
you share, too. For example, an old boyfriend of mine presented
me with some very luxurious French lingerie for Valentines Day.
Really gorgeous stuff with lace and not much else.

well he knew me. (Im strictly a flannel woman from December to
April). Seemed to me the gift was obviously for him. Thats not
necessarily a bad thing, if you know what I mean, but it wasnt
exactly selfless either. Gifts should be selfless, given without
expectation or obligation. At least thats what my Dad used to
always say and I agree.
How to Avoid the US gift
The best way to avoid giving an US gift is to focus exclusively
on your partner's interests. Remember, its not what you want,
its what she wants that matters. Listen to her daily
conversation more closely.
Slipped in between the pass-the-cereal and goodnight sweetheart
is a treasure trove of clues for you about gifts he desires. Did
he mention that he wanted to read that bestseller advertised in
the paper? Or, maybe you caught her gazing longingly at a local
knitting store and reminiscing about the projects of her youth.
Take notice, and then casually ask questions to get more
specifics. Do it right and your gift will be considered
thoughtful and sweet.

Dont despair if youve already gotten that US gift. You can
repackage it. Change it in some significant way that puts the
focus squarely on the recipient. A friend of mine with small
children recently planned a long overdue romantic weekend away
for herself and her husband at a posh spa resort. It was a good
intentioned US gift. To correct her mistake, my friend arranged
for her husband to drive separately. He spent the first day
there alone enjoying a round of spa treatments. She joined him
the next day. He felt special and they both enjoyed the trip.
My Mom used to say its not the gift that matters; its the
thought that counts. I agree, especially if the thought says: I
picked this gift only for you.
