owns a cleaning company, cleaning products are terrible gifts. They're cold, unemotional, and basically send the message, "Ewww". This only tells the girlfriend that you think she is messy, dirty, or smelly and generally unable to maintain her home. Another potential conversation that's best to avoid.

FITTED CLOTHING

- Unless you know your girlfriends exact size and measurements, keep away from fitted clothing, including lingerie. Anything that is too big will insult her and probably make her feel that her boyfriend sees her as fat. Anything that is too small will embarrass her and make her feel fat.

- Either way, unless the piece is a perfect fit, the gift usually results in unhappiness. Even if the gift is a perfect fit, you still have to worry if it's the right style and color for her. So tread carefully.

ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS

- Yet again, an area that shouldn't even be glanced at unless you are dead certain it is exactly what she wants. Any anti-aging product, no matter how fancy, means only one thing, you think she looks old! Old means unattractive, and unattractive means ugly. Ugly, once more, means one pissed off girlfriend.

WILTED FLOWERS

- Flowers can be a perfect gift, they're frivolous, fun, and beautiful. They show that even though it's temporary, you felt just the smile they would bring was worth the money.

- Wilted flowers however, show that no thought or caring went into the gift, and even worse, that the item is cheap and shoddy. They signal complete disregard and don't even create the smile they were once intended to inspire.

CAR MAINTENANCE COUPONS

- If this is truly her one hearts desire, go for it. Otherwise, coupons for Jiffy Lube are not going to thrill her. These little things like oil changes might be needed, but they're far from fun.

- Even with her best interest and safety in mind, it comes off looking like you care more about the car than you do about your girlfriend.

ADULT-THEMED GAG GIFTS

- Relationships can be a very emotional area in persons life. When dating humans tend to feel vulnerable, nervous, and unsure. Especially when it comes to the more romantic side of relationships. An adult-themed gag gift that tries to joke about this subject can quickly back-fire.

- People can easily feel insulted, embarrassed, or degraded and will likely read a second meaning into the present. So it is best not to chance the potential danger with a silly idea like that.

Avoiding these types of gifts can help you have a happier, healthier, and longer life. Developing the ability to *not* give your girlfriend the worst gift possible is always a wonderful way to secure a enjoyable and lasting relationship. If nothing else, it's also a perfect way to avoid a terrible fight.
