Top Seven Tips on gift buying for women (on Mother's Day)

I got my hair cut as SuperCuts on Friday night. Here was the advice for men that was being given on Mother's Day gifts.

1. Always buy a size smaller than what you suspect she is if you buy her clothes.
Small estimations on clothing sizes are always a compliment.

2. Electronic equiptment is not really a gift for her, it is a gift for you.

3. Never buy exercise equiptment unless specifically requested. Women read in a
value judgement about her appearance with this I guess.

4. Never buy a woman cooking equiptment either. See #2 for the reason.

5. Days at the spa are nice.

6. Never buy a weight loss book unrequested. See #3 for rationale.

7. If you enjoy it, chances are she will not.

I learned a little. How about you?
