The holidays are an
opportunity to display
thoughtfulness,
and finances aren’t
romantic. Maybe you
asked for the bailout,

If he gets you an iPod
loaded with your
favorite songs, his
heart’s in the right
place. If you unwrap
the latest e-reader in
spite of your love of
paperbacks, maybe he’s
the thing you should be
upgrading.Unwrap what your man is really saying with

If all he got you were
flowers and candy,
he put in a pitifully
minimal amount of
effort. You deserve a

more consideration

Guys give bling when
they’re taking the
relationship seriously
and want you to
commit as well. He gets
bonus points if he got
an item you’ve been
pining for—guys who

or silver...).his package

Homemade gifts like
playlists or scrapbooks
require effort, meaning
he invested time in your
gift. If it’s accompanied
by something he bought
that he knows you
want? He’s the one-two
punch: creative and
generous.
