When it comes to deciding 'Birthday' & 'Anniversary' Gifts, I really do
sweat for the small stuff. Be it a for a guy or girl, I never find it easy to come up with the best Gift !
Plus, I feel one has to be carefully choosing 'gifts'. I feel classify them broadly into two different categories - Personal and General.
Personal -
For the dear ones... people whom you can gift just anything! Gifting 'Perfumes/Deo/Shirts/T-Shirts' to your colleagues can be risky, as it gives them a chance to draw unnecessary conclusions! ;-)
4 May is approaching and I struggle to find the 'Ideal' gift for my dear friend. I seek my other 'Resourceful' friend and ask him for his suggestions. Our Conversation -
Me - Do you guys like the idea of flowers?
He - Naaaaaaah!! We don’t!!
We generally like stuff which is "Useful”!
Me - yeah, I understand... even I don’t understand why guys think girls always like Teddy's. receiving 3 'Teddy's' on a single birthday can make one really crazy!
So what else can u suggest?
He - Shaving kit
Me - Okay... what else?
How about Perfume/Deo?
He - Yeah... Deos are the best!
Me - o k .. He might like it then..
He - Pen
He - Comb
Me - :|
How will I know the kind of 'Comb' he likes/wants!!
He - Does he play any instrument?
Me - Naah! He is not that talented!! :P
@ My Friend whoz birthday is approaching - Don't kill me for this, I just meant you don't play instruments!!)
Me - Nail Polish?? ;D
He - :
Me - Don't you guys have such fantasies like applying some weird color on your nails, ever?? :D
He - NO !!
Back to square one !!
I ended up getting few more ideas like-
- Books
- Clothes
- Accessories - sounds good!
- Bottle of champagne ( No idea if he has tried that before! )
- T Shirts
But when it comes to gifting people abroad, sending gifts online is i guess the best. If you have run out time/cash, you can definitely look for some e-cards.
Now that's what I finally settled for :
( but, I do intend to pay back with interest next time :) )
Ps.
.. Happy Birthday Dear!! :D
This post is especially for to you :)

Nothing beats calling up and making him feel special. :)
Hi Nee,
Good to see you writing blogs after a long gap...this was a nice one...sometimes gifts ca nbe a bit awkward but i guess it all depends on how you give it....the body language while giving it and wishing the person conveys a lot...
As for guys n nail polish....will always remain poles apart.
Unlike girls, guys like more of practical gifts.. u kno.. Like somethin they can use day-to-day type.. Rather than havin somethin stacked up in a showcase..
:)
