Yes, it's that time of year again that most men dread: how to find the best holiday gifts for her.
If your like me, it's hard to "reinvent the wheel" every 12 months or so (actually its less than that if you count birthdays, anniversaries and other special days we must remember).
However, it doesn't have to be so difficult.
Being trained as a musician I know about variations on a theme.
That is, that there are parts to a piece of music that has the same basic structure, but uses different elements to add color and variety.
So it can be with gift giving.
Here are some basic themes or categories for giving some of the best holiday gifts for her.
First, give her unique holiday gifts.
Unique means one of a kind.
How do you do that? You make it for her with your hands.
This way of gift giving has lost popularity because it involves giving of your time.
It's a whole lot easier to plunk down your money and pick up something from the store.
But making her a unique holiday gift will be something that she will treasure for many years to come.
It doesn't have to look like an expert craftsman did the job.
Don't let that stop you.
She will appreciate very much the time you spent making it for her.
You could make her a special photo frame, or a plaque with her favorite saying.
If you still can't get yourself to make her a gift, hire someone else to do it.
There are lots of craftsmen who do that type of thing for a hobby, and put on craft shows - the ones your sweetie loves to go to.
Second, women love to receive unusual holiday gifts - gifts that they don't receive every year.
This would involve more planning and saving for this special purchase.
Right away she will know that you put a lot of time, thought, and money toward wooing her affection.
Kind of like when you were first dating when you had actually had to formulate a plan.
These gifts could include jewelry, vacation getaway, or a day spa visit with her girlfriend where she and her friend can be pampered for a day.
It could be a family trip that will create a lifetime of memories for her and your children.
So start planning now.
Finally, ladies love their gifts to be sentimental.
These are the gifts that touch their heart, and they will treasure for many years.
Gifts they will not forget.
Guys, this means you have to do your homework.
Know what your lady loves and is important to her.
Once I bought a necklace for my wife with birthstone charms for all of our kids.
She loved it because she adores her children.
A family photo album or scrapbook that you and the kids made can also pull on her heart strings.
Choosing the best holiday gifts for her doesn't require you to be a genius, or require you to do something new every year.
It can be a variation on several themes that involve giving her unique holiday gifts, unusual holiday gifts, and sentimental holiday gifts.
These are gifts she will treasure for a long time.
