Selecting A Gift For Your Spouse

Getting married is exciting... that goes without saying! It is not just the prospect of starting a new life with someone you care for; it is the thrill of the event, the trousseau, the honeymoon, setting up a new home, and of course the delight in opening at all the fancy gifts. But have you been pondering on what you should present your spouse as your very own gift to him/her to express your love and joy at getting married to this special person? Well, read ahead for some ideas.

It is much easier to select a gift for women... there are so many items to chose from. Naturally, this being a wedding gift for a one-of-its-kind occassion, it has to be special, something to be cherished. The easiest option when buying a gift for your wife is jewellery. However, Indian women tend to have a large collection of jewellery, since parents start collecting gold for their daughter's trousseau from when she is barely a tolder. If you do wish to buy jewellery, why not buy a heart-shaped pendant in gold, and if your budget permits, buy one studded with diamonds. It is pretty, makes a statement and will last forever! Or buy her a jewel watch, it is practical was well as aesthetic. Tanishq has a great range. Or buy an exotic perfume... the range available is quite astounding... Dolce Gabbana, Cartier, Davidoff, and Nina Ricci to name just a few. No woman will ever turn her nose up at perfume! Or get her a gift hamper of body gel, body scrub, lotions, a loofah and shampoo... try Elizabeth Arden, or one of the Aqua ranges. Those wonderfully packaged hampers will make any women melt! Selecting gifts for men can seem like a tough proposition for women, but today that is no longer the case. Men love gizmos, so why not buy him one of the latest WAP enabled cell phones. Nokia and Samsung have come out with some really attractive models with a whole host of features that will keep any man happy! And, with a cell phone, he can never be out of your reach! If your spouse is inclined towards aftershaves, check out the range of imported aftershaves at any of the swank lifestyle stores.

Watches are another eternal favourite, and today there are some really sleek ones with attractive features. Take your time selecting one that he will cherish! Or why not get him a portable MP3 player if he is a lover of music? Or a Sony 'playstation'? He will love that.

These are just a few suggessions for an oh-so-special gift. Nevertheless, anything however small, given with love and warmth is equal or even more special than the most expensive gift in the world. So if you do not have the money to blow on an exotic gift, just buy what you feel your partner would appreciate, gift-wrap it imaginatively and present it with a generous helping of love!
