Are You Really Sure You Know What She Likes?

Present buying can be difficult so why not use this list as a starting point to knowing what she likes?

Have you ever gone into a shop and not been able to decide between colour options or flavours for a present? Armed with this list you should be better prepared for deciding what she would love most when you start the dreaded present buying! Before you go asking her what she likes (so that you can complete the list!) have a read of the notes below so that you understand what I mean by each one and then have a look at the list of ways that you can find the answers without necessarily telling her what you're up to.

Here are some notes on the items on the list.

• Chocolate Flavour = Dark/Milk/White
• Chocolate Brand = Galaxy/Dairy Milk/Green & Blacks/Lindt etc
• Takeaway Style = Chinese/Indian/Pizza etc
• Designer (Clothing Store) = Ben de Lisi at Debenhams/Ted Baker etc
• Accessory Designer = Ted Baker/Radley etc for Handbags/Purses etc
• Earring Style = Hoop/Stud/Dangly
• Jewellery Material = Gold/Silver/Platinum etc
• Animal Print = Zebra/Leopard/Tiger etc
• Pen Style = Gel/Roller/Biro/Fountain

Hopefully all of the others are self explanatory. On top of those favourites there are also a few more essential things that you need to know before you go out shopping!

• Clothes Size - both top and bottom (sometimes they can vary)
• Shoe Size
• Bra Size
• Knicker Size and Style - thong/brazilian/short etc (this can vary from clothes size so ask specifically!)
• and Leg Length and Waist (in case you intend to buy her some jeans)

You can get her answers to the list in one of three ways.

1. Casually asking her one or two per day and filling in the list bit by bit.
2. Asking her outright for her answers to each one (or asking her to fill in the list). You can tell her that it's for your present buying assistance or not.
3. Making it into a challenge to see who can answer the most questions correctly about the other (don't forget to save hers with the correct answers!).

It's also a good idea to ask regularly as she's likely to change her mind frequently but I hope that armed with this list you will feel much better prepared for the dreaded christmas (and birthday, and anniversary and valentines) shopping now so get out there and get buying stuff that you know she's going to love! Good luck as always.
