From now on, I will no longer worry about Valentine's Day, anniversary and her birthday present.
Many boys are crazy about what to give their lovely girlfriends for major festivals. They gave everything, without any creativity. If they don't want to give anything, they just want to put a pile of money in front of her and say, "buy whatever you want!" " But every time I see my girlfriend's expectant eyes, my heart softens. I continue to torture myself and try my best to prepare gifts for her. I am also a poor boy who was tortured to death by giving gifts. Let me share with you my little experience of giving gifts in the first half of my life. I hope that all male compatriots can meet the infinite needs of their lovely wives with limited money on major festivals. (PS: If you have a rich dad who can buy your girlfriend a Cadillac with a wave of his hand, please skip this article. )
First of all, let me talk about the level of gifts:
1. Expensive and simple gift
This kind of gift refers to Adi's shoes, ipod MP3, LV bags and so on. This kind of gift can really achieve the effect of "diamonds last forever", but for us students, after all, we can't give it often, just once a year or two is enough.
2. Gifts for feelings
The simplest gift of this kind is a love letter, and candlelight dinner can be included in this kind.
3. cheap DIY
This kind of gift is the most I send, and it also has the best effect, because it is cheap. This kind of gift includes the paintings you drew for her, the wind chimes you made for her, and all the "global limited edition gifts" you carefully prepared for her that are not available in the market.
4. Very creative gifts
Creative gifts are the most meaningful gifts for girls, but creativity is not a product, it needs a carrier, so creative gifts are generally expressed as "emotional gifts" or "DIY gifts".
5. Daily gifts
Toothbrushes, lipsticks, pens and notebooks are very cheap, but as long as you dare to blow them, these gifts can be the highlights of your gifts.
6. Comprehensive gifts
Generally speaking, a good gift cannot be a simple item. If you think that one thing can satisfy a girl, then you look down on a girl. In fact, even if the girl is very happy with the simple gift you gave her, she just shows it to you for fear of losing face. My lovely girlfriend was secretly upset when she went back. From time to time, she told you that the anonymous in the dormitory had received a gift from her boyfriend again, and then pretended to be very yearning. Must be all boys' nightmares. So, poor boys, it is better to prepare some "comprehensive gifts" for girls' festivals, including the standard of Valentine's Day: rose+candlelight dinner and so on. This will be explained in detail below.
Second, the preparation before giving gifts
How can I give her a gift that she likes? There is a lot of knowledge here. It's not that you can scratch your head in the dormitory a few days before giving gifts, but that you need to do your homework for a long time before giving gifts.
1. Observe her daily life.
This is very important, because giving gifts varies from person to person, and the same gift to different girls may have completely different effects. For example, whether she likes romance, practicality or vanity gifts. Her hobby is very important, and doing what she likes is king. This is mainly to pay attention to the details of her life. For example, when she passed by a store and looked at something for more than three times in a row, she definitely wanted you to buy it for her.
2. Pay attention to better ideas in daily life.
Boys seldom go shopping, but when you decide to give your girlfriend some special gifts, you must go out and visit women's streets, pedestrian streets, boutiques and so on before giving gifts. And you can buy the right one without going out. This is basically impossible. You can go out with a feeling of "looking for inspiration", which I believe will lay a good foundation for your gift.
Step 3 be capable
DIY is the most economical and effective way to give gifts, so I suggest you have the ambition to satisfy your lovely girlfriend and boys, and you must have your own core competitiveness. For example, I prefer painting. Drawing a picture book and writing something on holidays will give me a very emotional gift, which is generally satisfactory for my good wife. Therefore, we must have our own skills. You can record and send songs when you can sing. Those who know DV can take a video and send it. Those who can do animation can make a love story.
4. Have your own characteristics
There's nothing to say about this. I just want to say that maybe some of my ideas are not suitable for all boys. Boys must add their own ideas to gifts, and things with their own characteristics are the real "global limited edition"!
Third, the situation that should be paid attention to when giving gifts
1. Be careful of the deadline for similar ideas.
A long time ago, someone put himself in a box with a price tag and gave it to a girl. The girl was moved.
Not long ago, near my girlfriend's birthday, someone went to the supermarket to buy things, put a label on his sleeve and gave it to a girl. The girl was speechless.
You can use old ideas, but some of them are bad ideas, outdated ideas, and ideas that have been used by countless people. If you use them again, it shows that you are insincere and unprepared.
Step 2 remember some time points
Girls are more sensitive and think more. For example, my wife often asks me, do you know what day it is today? I said I didn't know. It was our 500th anniversary together, and she was disappointed. I will% @ *%&@ # RMB. Just after I finished the exam, when is our1June anniversary, you come to ask me the question of the 500th anniversary. Therefore, on the first day with her, all men have to dig out the yellow calendar to calculate your centenary, month anniversary and so on, so as to be prepared. (PS: It is suggested that single men choose the end of the month, such as 65438+1October 3 1, to show their love to girls, so there are only seven months of anniversaries in a year. If you are lucky enough to bump into February 29 of leap year, make February 29 as the anniversary and you will be rich! How much thought can be saved! )
3. Always record some small details of your life with her.
This is a love letter for you. Do boys think "love letters" are outdated products? I don't think so. A warm and sincere love letter may warm her gradually cooling heart, ignite your passion and commemorate your warm past. In short, a low-cost love letter actually has many benefits. But how difficult it is to write a good love letter, among which I think the most important thing is that you can dig out, record and sort out the little touches in ordinary life, which is a good love letter. For male compatriots who feel that their writing style is not good, this is the only rule for writing love letters!
Fourth, how to write a love letter
The magic of love letters has been mentioned above, and here I will talk about the method of writing love letters in detail:
1. Writing time
What I recommend here is to quietly turn on a small desk lamp in the dead of night to calm yourself down and slowly relive the happy life you two once had. It is absolutely not recommended to write love letters in class, when CS gunfire is deafening and DOTA smoke fills the dormitory. I can't calm down and write good words.
I like to sit at my desk at home with me for more than ten years, with the small light on and the door locked, looking at the dim light outside the window and writing quietly and slowly.
2. Writing methods
The first point is the above-mentioned "recording every bit of your life with her", so that the words written are more delicate and will not appear empty.
Second, I think even if you are a funny person, you should get rid of your nonsense speaking habits and don't write colloquial and funny words in daily life into love letters. The purpose of a love letter is not to make your good girlfriend laugh, but to make her sad.
Finally, even if you can't write poetry, you can't copy it. However, copying is also about methods. Please listen to more love songs. Some lyrics are very artistic. Go online more and look at things like "Ten things that girls want most" and "Ten moments that girls are most moved". , and contains a lot of love letter material. You can find a lot of inspiration by watching romantic movies. When your material accumulates to a certain extent, writing love letters becomes a very simple matter, but it must be noted that the similarity of more than 16 words can be defined as plagiarism, so be careful.
3. Sincere feelings
Finally, the written words will not deceive people, and love letters will be as real as how real you feel about your girlfriend, so I warn my male compatriots that as long as you really love your lovely girlfriend, you will be able to write good words, because you love her so much, you will have more words to say to her, and love letters are to summarize our "words to say" on paper.
When I can't sleep in the dead of night, I miss my girlfriend. At this time, you must have a lot to say and a lot of ideas to tell her. Then, record it.
Examples of verbs (short for verb)
This is the focus of this article. I wrote down what I have done or thought about, and provided you with some materials for the troubled male compatriots to refer to. (I will often write some, mainly to see the meaning of gifts. )
1. Very, very big doll:
Meaning of the gift: You can say to her, "It's cold at night without me, and this doll can bring warmth to my lovely girlfriend instead of me."
Price: Generally, a doll half a person's height can be started around 200 yuan.
2. flowers
Gift meaning: vanity is a common problem of girls, and bouquet is one of the gifts that can satisfy girls' vanity.
Price: The bouquet should be beautiful. If it is not 100 yuan, the price of Valentine's Day will go up.
3. Chocolate+Love Letter.
How to make it: write down what you want to say sentence by sentence on the post-it note, buy a box of chocolates with a lid, pour out the chocolates and stick them in the chocolate box, with the bottom and lid glued. When it's finished, put the chocolate back into the package.
Meaning of the gift: On the bright side, when a girl opens it, she will find a small love letter inside, and she will be moved once. However, girls generally don't pour out all the chocolates at the first time, and the box will be filled with other things. Half a month later, a month later, you will find a small love letter at the bottom of the box. I believe that I was moved not just once or twice at that time.
Price: Boxed chocolate supermarket around 50 yuan, post-it notes around 5 yuan, totaling around 55 yuan.
4. Photo frame+photo
How to make it: There are usually photo frames of that size on the market now. Buy a photo frame, one big and two small, choose a photo of you, her and you, and put it in. All right.
Gift meaning: I found that many people are used to sending photo frames alone, but sending photos with photo frames between couples, after careful selection and careful PS, is definitely more effective than simply sending photo frames. When you send it, you can say "to commemorate our wonderful moment."
Price: Generally, a better photo frame is around 30, and the development of photos does not exceed that of 5 yuan, so a total of 35 photos is enough.
5. Wood carving (I have carved wooden wind chimes)
Gift meaning: Wood carving is recognized as the simplest thing that can be made by yourself, and the material can be carved with only a utility knife and a few pieces of wood. It's ugly, but you put a lot of thought into it. I believe that girls will not dislike your ugliness. What they really want is not what you made, but the "kindness" you showed when you made something.
Price: The total price will not exceed 20 yuan at most, but it will take a lot of time.
record a song
Note that this method is really good for friends who can sing well, but it needs a lot of preparation and time.
How to make it: I'm here to provide an idea. First, write down what you want to say, just like writing a script when shooting DV, and then convert these ideas into paragraphs of lyrics. After recording, you can string the songs together in a fading way, and you can tell her how you feel about her through the dialogue between the two songs, but remember to echo the lyrics before and after. No, it's too brain-consuming to test skills.
The meaning of the gift: it means a lot. When you send it, you can say to her, "You can always hear my voice when you miss me."
Price: zero cost, but it takes a lot of time and thought. If you happen to want to give her an MP3, save the string of songs you recorded. The price is the same as MP3.
7. The book that wrote your story
How to do it: write a sentence or two in a lovely notebook every day, which can be what happened between you and her today, or what you miss her. This kind of book should not be too big. Roughly speaking, a thin 40-page notebook is enough for your anniversary. If it is too big, you may not be satisfied. I don't have to insist on using a notebook. I also heard that a female friend of mine received a box of paper cranes from her man, all made of green arrow glue wrapping paper. That sounds romantic. If you write on the edge of the paper ... or you can write something on a post-it note and roll it up to make a wind chime or something. It depends on your DIY creativity.
Significance of the gift: insist that this gift is expensive. I believe that no one can remember two people's stories every day, so if you can spend five minutes recording them every day, I believe the girls will be very touched. You can say to her: "Our story, I hope it can be written forever."
Price: notebook+pen, basically very cheap, need perseverance.
8. photo album
How to make it: This is a gift from my little Toto. She first photoshopped some photos (color printing is recommended, and the developed photos are not suitable for writing on them), then bought a notebook to paste, wrote "photo introduction" around the photos, and wrote love letters where there were no photos. It is recommended to write with colored pens. Well, I like it very much. Thank your wife, she loves you! (Oddly enough, I also made a cloth cover outside the book, which is super exquisite! But if it is a boy, this step can be omitted. )
Meaning of the gift: This is a simplified version or "Our Story". You don't need to record it every day, but it's always difficult to ask you to like taking pictures, or to choose 20 good photos together.
Price: Notebook+developed photos+colored pens, probably around 30 yuan.
9. big posters of you two
How to do it: This requires you to be a boy who can use PS (smart boys can learn it in two or three days), and it's OK to give you two good news and take it with a crayon.
Meaning of the gift: It's not her favorite star that hangs on the wall, but your handsome posters. I believe that every time someone passes by her dormitory, she will stop and watch, and your girlfriend will be very happy.
Price: Color spray is not very expensive, generally 25 yuan/square meter, a poster only needs 30 yuan.
10. A series of gifts
I planned to give this to my girlfriend on her 2 1 birthday, but I'm ashamed that I couldn't give it all for various reasons. I only gave some of the gifts written below, but the ideas here hope to help my male compatriots.
Pre-preparation: First of all, you should define your series of gifts. Since it is a series of gifts, there must be a main line. Here I take numbers as the main line and make an analogy. Numbers are the main line, such as how many months you two have been together, her birthday, how many Valentine's days you two have spent, and so on. According to these figures, determine the gift. Generally, these numbers are between 5 and 25 (note, if your girlfriend is over 25, don't take age as the main line. After the age of 25, age is a woman's eternal pain. For example, when my girlfriend is 2 1 year old, I will give her a gift of 2 1. Don't think too much, in fact, not much. I will find what I wanted to give when I wrote it down.
0 years old (infancy): pacifier, "My good wife was born!" "
1-7 years old (Guawazi was a child): My good wife Toto is still young, and my little daughter is still playing with toys. Originally, I wanted to give it to seven dwarfs, but when I went to choose, I thought the dwarfs were not cute enough, so I chose seven furry toys. Here, I suggest that these gifts should have a certain continuity. For example, you can choose seven dolls, seven snoopies, seven dwarfs, or seven dolls arranged from small to large. Actually, putting them on the table is still very interesting.
Price: A little doll is only a few dollars, and the sum of * * * will not exceed that of 50 yuan.
8 years old-12 years old (in the older Guawazi primary school, the primary school was actually six years, but at that time 1-7, I wanted to give it to the seven dwarfs, so I compressed the gift of the primary school to five years): Toto was still a child in primary school, so I should give something targeted to the children.
8 years old: One Piece comics. I can draw a little. I liked reading cartoons more or less in primary school, so I'm going to draw her a cartoon character I like.
Price: There is basically no cost for painting, so please be sure to have your own skills.
9 years old: potted flowers. Why use flowerpots to send flowers? If you choose to send potted flowers, they can last for a long time and are not easy to wither, instead of putting them for two days like a bunch of flowers. For college students, it is best to send cacti. As we all know, cactus can absorb computer radiation, so you can get a cactus for your birthday.
Price: Generally, the price of small potted plants is around 15 to 25 yuan.
10 years old: candy. I went to the boutique to buy a big bottle of candy, and I went to Youjiang to buy a bag of candy (Youjiang's candy is so expensive, you can buy anything else without money, but at least pack some beautiful candy). By the way, I spent the whole day walking around the streets of Nanning, buying all kinds of erasers. I wanted to have those strange erasers when I was a child, but I only bought a few at most, giving this main circle a childhood dream.
Price: a bottle of 25 yuan, eraser is very cheap, 1 yuan/piece, the total price is about 30 yuan, and the quality of candy is about 50 yuan. This price is about 100 yuan, which is a bit expensive but meaningful.
1 1 year: toothbrush. Candy is 10 years old, and toothbrush is 1 1 year old. In response, 1 1 is still changing his teeth. It's almost time to protect his teeth! Buy a better toothbrush, and the necessities of life can actually be given as gifts.
Price: a good toothbrush is average 15 yuan.
12 years old: 12 years old is the animal year. Toto 1988 was born on February 20th, which is the fourth day of the fourth lunar month in the Year of the Loong. You can get a crystal dragon.
Price: According to the quality of handicrafts, the ones around 50 yuan are not bad.
13 years old-15 years old (junior high school): Generally, girls in junior high schools are gradually maturing. According to Toto, she had a little boyfriend in "Seeds of Love" in junior high school, so I want to draw a picture with boyfriend and girlfriend as the theme.
13 years old: music box. You can choose wooden music boxes. When you are free, you can wind it up and let the music play slowly.
Price: Good quality music box 40 to 50 yuan.
14 years old: Toto, the seed of love, I want to draw a picture, and all the pictures have been found. A railway winds forward, and the shadows of two little people are stretched by the sunset, which complements the sunset glow in the sky.
Price: A skill costs nothing.
15 years old: Xiang. Some incense is very beautiful. It can be placed on the table as an ornament and can also freshen the air. This is a good thing.
Price: If you want to go to 50 yuan in a boutique, you can go to the supermarket to find out. It's cheap and has a wide range of choices.
16 years old-18 years old (in high school): Girls in high school generally have had love experiences. You can give a small gift in this regard.
16 years old: clothes. Anyone who knows me knows that I often wear my high school uniform in college. The uniform of Nanning High School is a sky-blue shirt, which is very nice. I drew many things on my clothes, including the dragon I am proud of, so I want to give Toto a shirt when she is a freshman, draw many angel wings and draw the whole dress.
Price: shirt (uniform of Nanning Girls' High School) 25 yuan.
17 years old: photo frame. You can put a picture of us. Hey hey.
Price: Picture frame as mentioned above, around 35 yuan.
18: origami. 18 years old is an adult. I want to give a slightly meaningful gift. Fold a heart-shaped box with paper and put an origami ring, origami heart and origami clutter as gifts. There are many origami tutorials online. As long as I have perseverance, this is definitely a good gift for DIY.
Price: The price of DIY products is relatively low, so it costs about 15 yuan to buy paper.
19 years old to 2 1 year old (college time with me): Toto and I have been together for almost two years, and we spent most of our college time together. We must give good gifts to the university.
19 years old: pillow. I gave her a big doll, so if you want to give her something similar, a pillow is a good choice. A big and soft pillow is very practical in bed.
Price: You can buy good pillows around 50 yuan.
20 years old: recording songs. On my first birthday with me, I want to sing her some songs. I finally recorded three songs two days ago, namely "Suddenly Missing You" in May, "Dating" by Liang Guang and "Get Up" by Pin Guan. Among them, I highly recommend Pin Guan's song "Get Up", which is very well written. I recorded it and joined the Swuffeidol by the way, but at my level, I basically went to be cannon fodder.
Price: ATT records songs for half an hour, 50 yuan. If it's fast, you can record five songs in half an hour.
2 1 year: cake. If I get all my ideas settled, I will definitely invite her to my girlfriend, invite a dozen people to a bar for a birthday party, and give her presents one by one.
Price: Cake from 60 yuan to 70 yuan. The set meal price depends on whether you are familiar with the boss. But eating and drinking from 200 yuan to 300 yuan means higher consumption.
Male compatriots must remember that girls like vanity and romance, so when giving gifts, they must pay attention to giving gifts that people around her can see. )
The above is my humble opinion. If there are any shortcomings, please correct me. Actually, it's not difficult to give gifts. As long as your gift shows that you have put a lot of thought into it, it's OK. If your lovely girlfriend really loves you, there won't be too many demands. Finally, I wish: everything will be fine, and all shall be well.
