Worst gift ideas for your girlfriend

In your girlfriend's mind, the gift you give reveals how you feel, so keep this in mind when you are trying to find a gift for the woman in your life. There are certain gifts which men tend to buy, and when the gift is received, the man never sees the look of disgust in his girlfriend's eyes. If you don't want to end up on your girlfriend's bad side, read this list of gifts to never give. Remember, it doesn't have to make sense to you, so please, don't argue or bother to disagree.

Bad Girlfriend Gift Ideas:

1. Electronics: Men tend to gravitate to the electronic department of any store, but heed my advice. Your girlfriend won't be impressed with any gift that she has to plug in. Never buy your girlfriend a blender, toaster, food processor, sewing machine, iron or vacuum cleaner, not even the bag-less kind. If you do, you might as well be saying, " I think of you as my cook and my maid."

2. Fake Flowers: You'll say to yourself, "Real flowers will only die, so why don't I buy her the plastic kind?" If you care at all about your girlfriend and want her to stick around, never buy her flowers or plants that never die. You may think it's illogical, but your problem is that you are thinking too much. There is no woman alive who wants to keep any fake thing for the rest of her life.

3. Weapons: Unless she's specifically asked you to buy her a gun, don't buy her one. If you do, she may use it to shoot you someday. Weapons include pocket knives, hammers, shovels and screw drivers too. In other words, a weapon includes anything she can use to clobber you.

4. Pets: It could be that your girlfriend has hinted for a new puppy, and if she wants one, you'll know it. If she has never mentioned a pet, never buy one for a gift. If you do, every time it wets and makes a mess, she will think of you.

5. Cheap jewelry: The best way to say, "You aren't worth much to me," is to give her cheap jewelry. The first disaster will come when she sees the box that your cheap gift comes in. She will believe it's a diamond, sterling silver or gold. Then, when she opens it, believe me, she'll always know. Women are very serious about jewelry, so you can't fool her with $3.00 ear-rings.

6. Clothing: I don't mean to imply that you can't buy her anything to wear, but if you do, make sure that you know what she likes. Think about her size when you buy! I've seen so many men in a lingerie department buying tiny things for heavy weight girlfriends. If you make this mistake, you'll be saying, "I want someone
