Give and Get - Part 1

Ok fellas, this one is for you. I always hear guys saying they have a hard time finding something for their lady friends. Guys usually wig out on the idea of shopping for women out of fear of either a) offending them or b) disappointing them.

I get it.

This can be a sensitive subject and the fallout could be explosive. However, now that nearly every man, let alone human being is tethered to an iDevice, the excuse of fear is getting weak. Aside from Googling what to get your significant other, there are likely a myriad of ideas scattered through out your loved ones Facebook and twitter account and if in doubt, their Pinterest account.

Basically, decide how much you want to pay and then dig through her stack of magazines or twitter feed to know what kind of gal she is. Romantic? Techie? Surely, you got that part.

But, if you still need help, or more specifically just want someone to lay it out for you, then maybe this post if what you've been looking for.

Here you have it gentleman, a few cost friendly items to tuck under the tree. You're bound to find something here that works.

Send out an SOS with this Morse Code Necklace from Anthropologie ($38)


Be cute and lyrical with five golden rings as found on Etsy.com ($130)


Spice up her morning java with an iconic coffee cup straight from NYC and the MoMA. ($15)


If she's anything like me, I choose not to talk on the phone. The retro? Novophone might be the very thing to change my opinion. Because 1987 is SO old school. ($28)

  1. 1987 doesn't seem like that long ago ...

    Great tips. Technology has saved me now. Any time someone I need to buy gifts for says they like something I immediately snap a shot with the camera in my phone. You can also scan the barcode with the right app. Really helps with a 12 yr old daughter too.
