In anticipation of the New Year, we are happy to dip into the pre-holiday bustle. It is necessary to be in time much: to think up the celebratory menu, to decorate the house, to choose a New Year's dress and it is obligatory to buy gifts to colleagues, friends and, of course, parents. Giving New Year presents is troublesome and pleasant, but sometimes difficult. Especially if you choose a decent gift to be for your mom's boyfriend.
How to choose?
With particular attention you need to approach the choice of a gift for the mother of his close friend. Never forget that mother is the most dear person for him; the more sincere and warmer your relationship is, the more expensive you will be for your loved one. If you are familiar with your mother, making a choice of a gift, think about her preferences and tastes, then the thing you bought will give her sincere joy.
If your first meeting has not yet taken place, be sure to ask the groom what your mother loves, what she enjoys, how she spends her free time, what she dreams of.
If your boyfriend finds it difficult to answer, and you are afraid of offending her future mother-in-law, remember that it is better not to present her as a gift in order not to get into an awkward situation.
- Anti-aging cosmetics, deodorants, shampoos and dye for gray hair. It looks like a hint of age or untidy appearance.
- Perfumery, if you are not 100% aware of the flavors she prefers. The choice of toilet water and perfume is an individual matter.
- Underwear. These are intimate things, the choice of which is the lady’s own business.
- Delicacies and alcohol. This is not a gift, but rather a treat that you brought to the table.
- Decorations. It is not worthwhile to donate expensive jewelery, and costume jewelery may not suit the hostess or appear to her bad taste.
