"Girlfriend-That's-Not-THAT-Serious-YET" Gift

There always arises that question during the Christmas season for the couple that has only been together a couple of months: what is an appropriate gift that says "I'm really into you" but doesn't go too far in the Gift-Giving Unwritten Rule Book? Girls are pretty resourceful and tend to find gifts on their own that send that exact message. Guys, on the other hand, often struggle with this concept. Most end up spending too much and making their girlfriend feel guilty for not spending more, or they don't spend enough and make her feel like the relationship isn't as important to him as it is to her. It's all so complicated, and I feel bad for those guys out there looking for some help. So I made a few phone calls and... (dah dah-dah DAH!) I'm here to help.

Alright guys: listen up. I realize that jewelry is tricky for you. I get that you can't really afford to spend that much on anyone, much less a girl you've only been dating a couple of months. I found the perfect gift for your girlfriend. Zales has recently released their Hershey's Kisses Collection. (Bare with me... it's not as corny as it sounds.) The collection features Hershey's Kiss charms on an adjustable sterling silver chains. The tag says "kisses" on it and it's really just adorable. This necklace is just enough to be really cute, but won't break your bank. The collection features three specific pieces, starting at $50 and going up to $150. This holiday season, give your girlfriend "A Kiss that Lasts Forever". I've even taken the liberty of coming up with some cute ways of giving it to her:

1. Make a trail of Hershey kisses from the door to her room, where the gift/you will be waiting.

2. Get a big box, put the necklace box at the bottom, and fill it up with Hershey kisses. Give her the box and tell her, "I wanted to give you a thousand kisses for Christmas, but there is one in there that will last forever."

3. Take her to a nice dinner and at the end of the evening, ask her if she wants a kiss. When she says, "Yes" pull out the box and say, "Merry Christmas."

These are just a few cute ideas that you can use, or modify to make your gift giving special and memorable. Don't forget to check out Zales for other jewelry too! If you're looking to spend a little more, they have lots of beautiful pieces. The word "diamonds" is all I have to say on that topic.

I've given you the information you need to have a beautiful gift giving holiday. I've even bailed out the awqward "girlfriend that's not THAT serious YET" gift. All in a day's work! Ah, I love my job. Happy hunting!
