5 Gifts Men Should Never Give Women

Posted: Feb 04, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 252 |

When it comes to gifts, it’s been said that it’s the thought that counts. This is especially true with gifts that men give to their wives or girlfriends. While women in love don’t think about the cost of the gifts given to them, they do have standards when it comes to the things that they get from their husbands or boyfriends.

They want gifts that are personalized, meaningful and well-presented. They don’t want generic gifts that could easily be given to anyone else.

As such, here’s a list of things that men should never give to their wives or girlfriends:

1. Mugs - These are one of the most overused gifts of all time. When a woman gets a mug from a guy, she’ll most likely cry or get mad. A mug means the guy barely spent any time trying to figure out what to give her. It also means that he has no imagination whatsoever.


2. Kitchen utensils - Unless the woman is a cooking enthusiast or a professional chef, getting a knife or any kitchen utensil as a gift would mean that the man could be dropping hints about her cooking skills -- or lack thereof. In other words, it spells trouble.

3. Food - This is another unimaginative gift. Food items such as chocolates and other sweets are great giveaways, but guys should not assume that they’re good enough as gifts. For one, they don’t last. They’re not exactly keepsakes. Women tend to think less of men who give gifts that don’t last.

4. Oversized jewelry - Jewelry that’s too big is tacky. This makes women feel as if they’re being bought. Women prefer tasteful and elegant jewelry. They like showing off sparkly things, but they don’t want to be overwhelmed by them.

5. Empty picture frames - These are more like housewarming presents than tokens of affection. If a woman gets a blank picture frame, she’d think that a man is hinting that he will soon be out of the picture. If you’re going to give your wife or girlfriend a picture frame, it better have a photo of you and her already in it. Or else she’ll take your gift the wrong way.

When it comes to relationships, gifts are not just objects that you give out of obligation. Women see them as symbols of love. This is why men should take extra care with the things the gifts they give.
