My advice for guys is don’t be afraid to ask the woman in your life what she wants. And women, tell the men in your life what you want, whether by dropping hints or being direct. He can not read your mind! Picking my birthday and Xmas gift has been a tradition my husband and I put into practice years ago when we were just dating. Sound a little unromantic? We makes things extra special in other ways like going out for a nice dinner, suprising each other with flowers or a night at a local hotel, or even buying something as small as a new CD.

Charm Bracelet
I love this gift idea for a wife, girlfriend, best friend, or sister.
It is a gift that she will be able to personalize with charms she may buy for herself or receive as gifts to honor a milestone or a remembrance of a special trip. Each addition of a new charm is an expression of personal style and tells a story.
