Now that Halloween has passed it's probably time to start thinking about what to get her for Christmas now or you'll be in trouble for sure. Maybe the bright idea occurred to you to get her that flat screen TV that you've been eyeballing and pass it off as a hers even though you'll both be using it, or that  vacuum cleaner she's always wanted. Well, you can reject those and these five other bad ideas that might otherwise seem like pure genius.

Chocolate

Unless she's a choc-a-holic and you've located a record setting huge chocolate bear that you had to get shipped from the Netherlands, better leave this one on the shelf. Sweets work great for V-Day or as a stocking stuffer, but Christmas is the favorite holiday of many women and she's looking for something that shows how much you pay attention to her. She can pick up sweets on her own at the gas station.

Recycled Ideas

That massage or makeover you bought her last year may've put her on cloud nine, but she's expecting you to mix it up and be unpredictable again. Remember, a surprised woman is a happy woman. Well, good surprises anyway.

Cosmetics

While this one might get your points for even stepping foot in the cosmetic aisle, women have this one locked down. She knows what she likes and even though she will appreciate the gesture if you happen to know what makeup she's into, she can grab it on her own while out getting groceries.

Pro Sports Tix

Like the flat screen TV above, anything that you would by for yourself is in this category too. Most women aren't into sports, but you may be lucky enough to have that rare bird who plays video games and spits and digs sports just as much as you do. If that's the case then she likely goes to games frequently and although the privilege of sitting next to you at a pro game should be excitement enough, try this as a compliment to a trip away some other time of the year instead. Now concert tickets on the other hand...

Lingerie

This is something that she likely talks about A LOT (and you think about just as much), but if you're not ABSOLUTELY sure of her sizes, this will wreck the evening for you both. Instead, grab her a Victoria's Secret gift card with a note attached that you'll tag along with her. Big points ahead for that one and for an added bonus, she just might solicit your opinion as she tries stuff on.

 


Girls say that they love you no matter what you get them or don't get them, but best not to mess with the forces of the universe at this time of the year and actually BELIEVE that. Your woman just wants to be together with you, especially if the kids and work prevent that from happening often, so anything that puts you two in the same space at the same time and helps free her mind is bound to score.
