The Gift

Hello there, how are you doing?
No, I am not sharing a literature review of The Gift by Cecelia Ahern. But I wanna share thoughts of the gift nowadays. Ever notice that young lovers, those of the puppy love and couple in love without any actual solemnization but feels responsibility of the partners maintenance. I mean, the love couple who feels its an oblige to provide his woman.

Yes, on occasion surprises are more than acceptable. Nor a good to be back together, or a celebration of good grades, get well soon and Xmas certainly. But making a gift a norm, especially the expensive one, at the end of the day it is not appreciated and most women I can assure you would yearn for higher expectation.

I admit I am used to be splurged but not to the extend that I become materialistic. After many encounter, I learn that gift is not very important in a relationship, nor of his responsibility for my maintenance. My priority is that he is able to be a good best friend, and we have a good future together.

I have a friend, a guy friend, who always drag me to help him gets his girlfriend bizarre gift. It sort of irritates me as his girlfriend wasn't appreciating him at all. There were one time, I taught him to not give anything except a self-made card. But being him, he went to buy a big bouquet of flower to add up. Luckily after many other arguments, their puppy love ended. But still he never realise, he keeps on buying girls until today. Its okay, he have the cash, let them be wasted.

However, my point is that, so long you are not solemnized, you are not obliged to her maintenance. Why don't you start spoiling her with something meaningful. No, I am not suggesting for a love poem, that's just too grand. But maybe, a self made card. Or little things that she adore or might like; chocolate, desserts, dream car miniature, the cute graffiti t'shirt, magazines, books, a small souvenir from your worktrip/vacation... etc. Just because you are getting her a gift, doesn't mean it has to be constant on monthly basis or it should be that burn your pocket that cause you hundreds.

Keep it original and stands out of the crowd. Being different is being clever. What counts is the thought of you showering her with your little cute thoughts that last long.


Note:

A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime, that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.
