you didn’t think i would forget to do a “gift ideas for her” now did you?! and let me start by saying ladies & gents shopping for your lovely lady is soooo not easy! so to everyone out there who does this for every occasion, kudos to you! even when my hubby asks me to make a list i never put so much thought and effort into it because i usually know exactly what i want need, i used to forward emails of my wishlist to him.. lol.. crazy i know.. but it worked! but i am a firm believer in gift giving and presentation is 20% of it. do you remember the joy and excitement of opening a gift that was all wrapped up?! the gift card is so impersonal and unthoughtful.. that is why even between my hubby & i we make a list and exchange it.. and even from the list you are giving the option of having them choose a gift for you, but receiving a gift you absolutely wanted. so it’s bulletproof as long as you are honest with the items you want on the list.

but seriously, i had the hardest time narrowing down the items i wanted to select for my list because women are so much pickier and critical.. and sometimes our mind changes so quickly.. so i tried to select items that would be used everyday.. thinking more outside the box in some ways.. meaning you won’t see the must-have Chanel and Hermes on this list.. so if there is an item or just want to send your sigfigo “significant other” a subtle hint; you can send a link of my post or site to them via email and say “babe, look at this cool article i just read on this site! ;)” (haha, you could literally just copy and paste that message with it! hope you enjoy the items as much as i did going out looking for them!
