Relationship Issues: Giving Presents
Buying gifts for a partner can be a minefield - it's quite common for men to get it wrong! Relationship Psychotherapist Paula Hall gives this advice on giving presents.
-
It's quite common for men to unwittingly buy the wrong present for their partner - even if they've put in a lot of effort to get it right.
-
It's worth remembering that buying presents is only one way to show love and care. If present buying is a source of tension, talk about other ways you can show each other affection.
-
The receiver needs to acknowledge the amount of thought that has gone into the present - like the old saying goes, it's the thought that counts.
