Since the Christmas shopping rush has started, allow me to remind you of some pointers in choosing a gift for your sweetheart or spouse.
Choose what your beloved likes, and not what you like for him or for her.
Go for something he or she will often, if not always, use. So that it’s you who will come into mind whenever your sweetheart or spouse it’s used. Give priority to what your beloved can use in school or at work.
Of equal importance is what he or she needs but does not have yet, like wrist watch or new clothes.
If your beloved is moneyed or rich, and already has everything you can think of, go for something he or she has always liked but seldom gets the chance to buy because of the job a hectic schedule.
For example, his or her favorite food or pastry; the latest book or greatest hits CD of his or her favorite author or singer or, and consider this very seriously people, an image of the Sto. Nino (Child Jesus) or Mama Mary, or his or her favorite saint.
Remember, a Christmas gift DOESN’T ALWAYS have to be EXPENSIVE!
Go only for what you can afford. Your sweetheart or spouse will appreciate and love you more for it. Why? You’re just being yourself (nagpapakatutoo ka lang) and not pretending to be someone you’re not.
If you don’t have any money whatsoever, make your own Christmas card or ask somebody to do one for you if you can’t. Then, write whatever you feel straight from the heart, bring it personally to your lover and read it in the sweetest and most sincere way you can.
If your sweetheart or spouse really loves you, whatever you give will be highly appreciated. If not, and worse he or she will belittle or insult your present, end the relationship on the spot.
You have a ‘material girl’ or ‘material boy’ for a lover.
It’s not only your gift which should matter. It should be the thought, and the concern, You didn’t forget. You did what you could, to the best of your ability, to make him or her happy. Most of all, you’re spending Christmas together, physically or in spirit.
That’s what natters. IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS! 30
