It's
that time of year again when the
windows are
dusted with
snow and
portray scenes from holiday favorites done all up in couture. While
doorman tips and end of the year philanthropic appeals have already
been
decided, actual gift giving is a bit trickier. It's a little different
and a lot more comfortable when it comes to family gift giving. In the
social arena it's not as simple: What do you give to the special man or
lady in your life? What about that platonic friend or your best bud?
How

Remember,
gift giving is personal, but that
doesn't mean you can't get a little help here and there. Men tend to
want something they can use, even something they need. They are not
subtle
hinters but instead want what they ask for; women are another story
altogether. The ladies want to feel lavished and surprised while still
feeling as though they are being heard; guys look at things in store
windows and listen to the hints their women drop.
For the boyfriend, always remember, you must account for your level of commitment and intimacy when shopping for gifts: Read the full
