November is here and that means that the holiday season is near! Can you believe it? With that being said, it is also this time of year where some of us struggle finding gifts for the one we are with or planning to be with for the holidays. The key to any gift is that it is coming from the heart-no matter how much it cost (yep, I said it)! Sometimes when you are in a relationship, partners feel obligated to spend a certain amount on their partner to show how much they mean to them but if it’s a REAL relationship, then you know that money holds no value over the heart.
Also, get creative! For example, if you want surprise your main squeeze with a trip, package the gift in a travel tote and include things that hint where you all will be traveling to THEN finally reveal the destination! The reaction you’ll get will be priceless!!
Note: In this guide you will see similar gifts noted but a slight change in what I think would be appropriate at this phase in the relationship.
