How to Get the Perfect Mothers
Day Gift!
By Walter & Rachel Webb
Before Sigmund Freud died he
wrote, "The great question...which I have not been able
to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine
soul, is 'what does a woman want?"
Somewhere along the way women
have started to believe that if he really loves me, he will figure
out what I want. May I suggest that if you really love him, TELL
him what you want! Simplify your life, strengthen your relationship
and take the mystery out of how he can help make you happy.

In the best selling book, "Men
are From Mars, Women are From Venus" John Gray lists 101
ways to score points with a woman. Do you envy Johns' wife? Her
husband 'gets it'.
He knows how to make her happy.
Want to know how he figured it out - She told him! Ok so she
may not have made the list for him and let him publish it, but
when he tried out the 101 ideas she offered appreciation, feedback,
thanks and positive support for his behavior. Non-verbally telling
him what she wants by her response. |

Ideally, a well thought out gift
from your significant other on your Birthday, Mothers day and
other important holidays should not be asking too much. But,
if you have not spent the entire year letting him know your likes
and dislikes don't be surprised if you do not receive a gift
that suits your needs,personality, style and taste. That is,
if your needs, personality, style and taste have remained the
same long enough for him to start a mental file of your hints.
Even the best husband should not be expected to read his wife's
mind...lets face it ladies, we change our minds too often!
I recommend giving the man in
your life 3 suggestions on what to give you for holidays. Three
items to choose from shows them that you trust their choice and
yet still offers you an element of surprise before you open the
present. Now about that list: unless your husband is extraordinary
in the memory and shopping skills department, write out the list
by item including the store address, color, size, and price range.
Most men will find a gift list useless and if frustrating without
the added details but are genuinely anxious to please you if
they are only shown how. In fact, they may become so excited
to have successfully found the item you asked for they will pay
anything to obtain it...thus the suggested price range!
The fact of the matter is that most men would be grateful if
you bought your own gift, wrapped it and put their name on it,
however, most women would find this highly objectionable. By
communicating openly about your idea of the perfect gift you
create a winning situation for you, your husband and the store
employee behind the return counter! |
