Iconoclastic

2. Perfume
Perfume can be very personal, but women love to know that you like how they smell. So buying them something the both of you can enjoy is a perfect holiday idea. If you don’t feel comfortable buying perfume though, there are always scented candles, bubble bath, or linen sprays. Women love to smell good, and these may be less personal ways of hinting about what you like to smell.

3. Jewelry
Personally, I am hesitant to add this one to my list, but my female friends assure me that every girl loves her jewelry. I know this is true, but anything with a shiny rock in it seems to connotate more than you may want to convey, plus it comes with a hefty price tag. Nevertheless, if you don’t know what to get her, then jewelry is always a safe bet. I would steer clear of rings, unless marriage is what you’re looking for, but a necklace or earrings are probably a safe bet.

4. Tickets
Movies, a play, a concert, some charitable event. Tickets to anything, especially if it gives her the opportunity to dress up, are a great Christmas idea. And they are like the gift that keeps on giving, because of course you are going to have to buy yourself a ticket as well! Be creative, find a dinner train, an amusement park, or some adventure the two of you can enjoy together. For example, I have been dying to explore the Shasta Cavern’s (hint hint to anyone who may be shopping for me!).

5. Detachable Massaging Showerhead
Anyone who knows me understands my belief in this wonderful device. I would like to hug the person who invented these. If you don’t understand why they are wonderful, ask a female friend, she will explain it too you – I am trying to keep a PG rating. Anywho, every girl should have one, and if your special someone doesn’t – get it for her!! And you can even offer to install it, showing your totally cool man-skills off.

So guys, there you go. Your shopping has been made easier this year, and I promise that if you get your girl anything on the above list (especially #5) she will be a very grateful g/f. Remember that wrapping the present is important, and adding mistletoe may just get you a little extra somethin’ somethin’. And the more romantic the delivery of said gift, the more likely you are to receive some genuine appreciation – I recommend candles and a good bottle of wine, but that’s just me.

I hope y’all have a very happy holiday, and if you need some more advice, feel free to e-mail me!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin!
