You've gone down the list and have gotten every cousin, friend, and family member; all you have left is Christmas gifts for her.
These are the ones that you have been dreading because you just don't know what to get her.
If you didn't care it would be easier, but you really want to please her, perhaps even surprise her.
What do you get? The good news is that buying for women is usually quite simple if you pay her any attention at all! Why? Because women have subtle ways of showing us what they want.
That jewelry catalogue that they showed you those earrings in is not just a lesson in beautiful diamonds, it's a subliminal message that she would like a pair for herself.
The store that she always slows down to walk in front of is a signal that this is the location where you shop.
Her picking up the same item 50 times and looking at it but still not buying it is yet another great Christmas gift.
The problem is that men don't usually work this way.
Men will see something they want, stop and look at it, and buy it.
The longest they wait is until payday, but women don't operate the same way.
They often give us these subtle hints that we simply pass by not really sure what they want us to do with the information.
As you can see, this is good news because she has left you clues all over the place.
In fact, she has left you bread crumbs all the way to the right gift, you just have to find where those bread crumbs stop and start if you didn't already take notice.
Buying Christmas gifts for wife is all about paying attention to what she says and does.
If you pay attention you can take note of the earrings that she wants from one store, the new scrap booking tools she wants from another, and that great bottle of wine she has been wanting to try but wouldn't indulge in.
As you can see, it's all about knowing who she is and what she would like.
When you stop trying to buy for any woman and start trying to buy for the woman in your life it suddenly becomes very simple to get her a gift that you know she will like.
Of course, paying attention to what she wants may mean that you have to listen to her all year long or at least for the couple months before the Christmas season.
Why fliers come in the mail see what she is looking at and listen to what she talks about with her friends.
All you have to do is eavesdrop a little bit on her like this and you may soon find the perfect gift for her without having to work hard or worry that she wouldn't like it.
