Things to consider when choosing a gift
As the old saying goes: “it’s the thought that counts.”

- What does she do?
Think of what she does every day. What kind of work does she have? Does she just stay at home? Think about what occupies her time. This will give you an idea of what kind of stuff she would appreciate having while doing her daily routine.
- What are her hobbies?
What does she do in her spare time? Is she into sports, reading books, doing arts and crafts, gardening, or cooking? Give her a gift that is related to what she loves doing. By doing this, you are showing that you support her hobby. She’ll also love that you know her so well.
- Does she have a collection?
Living creatures are hoarders by nature. Be it a stamp, coin, or doll, find out what your special girl likes to collect. Contribute to her treasure trove by acquiring something that she doesn’t have there yet.
- What does she often wish to have?
People sometimes think out loud. Was there a time that she wistfully wished to have a thing that she saw somewhere? Take note of these mumblings and it might just give you the idea for the perfect gift.
- What can you afford?
This doesn’t just mean in the financial sense. Some gifts can take a lot of time and effort to acquire or put together. Take into consideration your budget and time when choosing your present.
