As a female, I can tell you upfront that there is a list of items that you do not want to buy for your girlfriend for Christmas. For example, do not purchase most anything with a plug. She does not want a waffle maker, an electric frying pan or a vacuum cleaner. Okay, maybe she said she wanted one, but trust me when I say that she does not want you to buy her one for Christmas. No, she is expecting something with more thought and sentiment than that. And this is only the beginning of a list of which men are mostly ignorant and all women are aware.
I am breaking a sacred code by sharing these secrets with you and will suffer greatly at the hands of my sisters if discovered, for these are codes which you all men are supposed to figure out on your own. Why? Because if you really love her, you will just know what she means. Heard those words before? Well, I, for one, am sick of not getting what I want and waiting around for guys to figure it out. So I am going to do you all a favor and fill you in on a few details. Listen carefully
Never buy anything with a tag that sports the words, "one size fits most." Never. This is a well conceived trap organized by designers of women's apparel. They don't need men to market their products and so they might as well get rid of you in order to pull more of the dollars to be spent into their slice of the fashion design pie. "One size fits all" is equivalent to pulling the pin from a grenade and holding it calmly in your hand. "So you think I am as skinny as she is!" "So you think I am as big as she is!" "I'm average just average! I thought I was special to you!" Face it, guys, it doesn't have to make any sense. It just has to be the fuel for the fire and a rather explosive fuel at that. Stay away from the "one size" products. They will explode in your face.
Do not buy her any type of wrap treatment at a spa or health salon. Nothing that will "melt away pounds" or "eliminate toxins" from her system will be appreciated. If you want to invest in a massage, a manicure, or a facial, that will be good. But be careful that you are ready to assure her that you are not complaining about her looks, you only want her to pamper herself like the princess she is, which is what she well deserves. Carve those words in your mind right now. Princess. Deserve. Pamper. Princess. Only go this route if you can say those reassuring words with a straight face and no wisecracks. Otherwise, you are a dead man.
