SURPRISE HIM...SURPRISE YOURSELVES

A few years have passed and you feel that the relationship you have with your partner is somewhat on a plateau. Yes it is comfortable. But it is dull.

You need to light it up. You need to do something to break the momentum. And it needs to be done not on a special occasion. It has to be on an ordinary day when you just go to work and head back home, have dinner, hit the sofa and in a while sleep the night away. Break the spell! File a leave for the day and prepare for a weekend get away, or an all night romancing that may last the whole weekend, or something to remind him of the you and him on your first months together. Nothing else could reignite that spark than to make time just for the two of you.

Surprise him by starting out with a gift. Not an everyday occurrence, right? Give him anything that will tickle his fancy. Running out of gift ideas? Try browsing though...there actually are a lot that you'll be surprise to find. The idea of the gift giving is to let the ball rolling. Then start pampering him like you used to. And then go on with the roll of tide...ride it with him and with the thought that this will definitely be a surprise for him today and be a surprise for you both days after for the effect it will do to your relationship.

HEART’S DAY

Everyday is Heart’s Day for me, but some people believe in celebrating it in a special day they call Valentine’s Day. These holidays actually are man-made. It is probably there to serve as reminder to people that there are more important things than living life earning to live it. I wonder why they needed to be reminded of it in a certain day within a year when I am reminded of it every prayer time (which is more than once in a day); more so during Church time.

Being in a society practicing the said Heart’s Day, let me then take this opportunity share with you what I think will be the best advice on how to give your love to your ones to show them, through giving, how much you value them; or for you will be the Top Valentine's Gifts for 2010.

As always, I put myself in the position of the receiver. Will he be like me and prefer to spend the budget on a day or an evening together than on a thing? Or will she feel loved with a lasting token of that love? Probably something that she need, like boots for the winter? Or something that she can show off to her friends such as Tiffany jewelries ladies go gaga about? Chocolates to make her fall in love more with you?

If you were to ask me, there’s no better day to give love than today…when you are sure that she’s still there with you!

GIFT FOR HIM

The holiday’s is fast approaching, and with it comes our problem as to what to give our man!

The very first on the list comes the WATCH. There’s so many to choose from but his personality will define what’s best for him. Is he the sporty type? A classy, indoor type?

Next goes the tools and equipment that would make his chores more manageable…but be sure that you know which one is already in his tool shed.

Maybe you, HEY MISTER…YES YOU!... can you give us help here…and give us an advice of what you want. Nothing better than to get the information from those who needs them.

GIFT FOR HONEY...

“It’s my last day….tomorrow’s his big day, and I still don’t know what to give him!”

A common dilemma wives and fiancé’s have when there’s a need to look for a present for an anniversary, birthday, holiday, congratulations…or whatever occasion that needs gift giving. Yes, there’s the “what he likes” and “what he needs”…but after so many years and occasions that have passed you by…it seems that you’re suddenly at a loss for what else there is to give. Sometimes, just with the cramming, your mind gets TOTALLY BLANK!

Either you go window shopping if you have the time or just pick out anything for the sake of having one. That just sucks! Because put yourself in his shoes and you wouldn’t want to get another organizer which he have given you on your last birthday, or a third-time-around set of manicure sets…or a tiny little elephant that you will put behind that glass shelf amongst a hundred others just so you wouldn’t hurt his feelings if you give them all away.

It’s not that you do not appreciate the gift nor do you expect your gift not to be appreciated, but you wanted to give him THE BEST AMONG THE REST. We need CHOICES. And how fortunate it is that these choices we’re just a click away in this millennium. So we do not have an excuse as to NOT KNOWING, or that WE DON’T HAVE THE TIME…what’s a few minutes worth?! You put a lot of those minutes doing your hair and make-up everyday. A special occasion for a special person needs special attention!

Just remember to chose what the receiver will love you more for…and what you can continue to love him for though not his day anymore!!! (PSP’s definitely is worth a second thought if you don’t want being ignored in exchange for those addictive games, get what I mean?!)
