“Women are from Venus, men are from Mars”, as the saying goes. This old saying holds true when you shop for a woman. Buying gifts for women is quite intimidating and difficult. Majority of men get intimidated when they shop for women, the reason is that it is very difficult to know and understand what she really wants. It has happened many times that even the most well-intentioned and heartfelt gifts can spark fits of the wrong feelings in a woman.
To shop for a woman, first of all you have to think like a woman. To do this, you will have to get in contact with your feminine side. Whether you are shopping for your mother, your girlfriend, your wife or your sister, you should have a good idea of what she really likes. Don’t go for obvious things such as chocolates, flowers, jewelry or teddy bears.
Every woman has a unique identity and personality; what she likes will not probably be liked by someone else. Thus, try to understand her tastes and preferences before you decide to go out and buy something for her.
