Well it’s that time of year again. The last minute crunch to find that perfect gift for that perfect person. So what do we girls really want in our stockings? No, I mean seriously. Our Christmas stockings. For once I’m not giving tips on how to get in her pants. These are tips on how to knock her socks off.

So what do you get the girl that you either have your eye on or have been lucky enough to land? First of all it depends on the situation. Jewelry for example is a tricky one. It’s great if A) you’re actually in a relationship with her. (otherwise you could be slipping into stalker territory) and B) you know EXACTLY what her taste in jewelry is. Same rules hold true with lingerie.

And speaking of knowing what she wants… It may be a good idea to take a trip around the mall with your girl and get her to point out different things she would like, or get one of her girlfriends to come shopping with you. She’ll know better then anyone else what your girl would want! You can even buy her some clothes/shoes/or a purse if you have the best friend with you.

The other approach is to have some fun and think outside the box. Take her interests into consideration. What makes her happy? Does she have a stressful life or have a stressful job? Try getting her an amazing spa package that will calm and rejuvenate her. No girl will EVER be disappointed with a spa package and she’ll love you for being so considerate. It’s a win-win present!

If it’s a budding romance, what about a “lets get to know each other better” weekend getaway? It doesn’t have to be somewhere lavish. Use your imagination and start researching winter cabin getaways. The best part about weekend getaways is finding the rustic locations that don’t have internet access or tvs or phones… You have nothing to rely on for entertainment other then yourselves! It’s a great way to connect with each other and potentially have one hot and steamy weekend. Years ago I was dating a guy who was a HUGE snowmobiling fanatic so I booked us into a remote cabin that we could bring snowmobiles to but they also offered other activities like snowshoeing, cross country skiing, skating, ice fishing, as well as some pretty kick ass meals and the whole weekend only cost me $200!!!

The trip didn’t take a huge bite out of my savings and also landed me in the good books for months to come. Trust me, you can never go wrong with the weekend getaways.

But what if you don’t want to spend big money? This is where you milk the “it’s the thought that counts” approach. Put your creative hats on and think about what your guy/girl would really appreciate. And have some fun. A friend of mine takes an afternoon every holiday season and makes a movie for his girl. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s set to her favorite music, usually it’s full of inside jokes or references and it’s ALWAYS appreciated!

Have your special someone over for an amazing meal and romantic night with just the two of you. Set the mood with great music, candles, wine (or whatever liquor you prefer), then pop in the video and have a laugh. Gaurantee it will but the Merry in their Christmas!

Have Fun!!!

Happy Holidays.

peace
