Gifts for Men and Gift for Women- Because Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus.

I have always wondered about the saying ‘men are from Mars and women are from Venus’. Comical in its approach, I got to thinking - can this approach be used in our chain of thoughts when it comes to gift buying for these two genders? In this article, I am going to take a comical stance and match some gifts with the sayings. Before I proceed I would like to personally state that these sayings are not factual statements and should not be treated as such. I am merely using the comical approach to highlight some gifts to match some well known theories and sayings.

“Women are more sensitive than men”
If women really are more sensitive than men, then romantic gifts would be ideal for a female. Chocolate and a bunch of roses are of course a well known romantic gift. However, I would suggest something a little more personal, such as personalised message in a bottle, which comes under the umbrella of personalised gifts.

“Women are better at multi-tasking than men”
This well known theory could be argued as right or wrong for years to come. If men are not as good at multi-tasking then related gifts would be ‘all in one tool kits’ available in the marketplace. These of course would not make a man better at multi-tasking. It merely adds convenience when he has several tasks to do around the home and hopefully a less stressed out man.

“Women love to shop”
Whether shopping for clothes, handbags or shoes, most women would agree to this saying. Of course there are some who do not. For those who do, an ideal gift would be an extravagant shopping voucher from one or several of their favourite shops. Better still, spend the day with her while she shops and be there to pay for the goods. She would absolutely appreciate your company and of course your money!

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”
Buy any woman a diamond and she will love you forever- that’s the theory. Buying a diamond encrusted piece of jewellery will most often than not put a gleaming smile on her face that will more than match the twinkle of the diamond

“The way to a man’s heart is via his belly”
It is fair to say that most men love food and beer. Therefore appropriate gifts would be a Luxury Beer and Food Hamper or a romantic dinner (at his favourite restaurant or home cooked).

“Boys and their toys- all men love gadgets”
If your man is always looking for knobs to twist and levers to pull, the gadget and gizmos market is saturated with useful, unique and daft gadgets. Be selective with what you buy. My suggestion would be to buy a gadget that is in an area he is passionate about. For example, a music lover would love and appreciate a music related gadget.

The above are some well known theories which have often been the talking point of the very famous sayings ‘Men are from Mars’ and ‘Women are from Venus’. That is men and women are from two different planets. I hope my article has given you some food for thought for gift ideas, if you are in fact a believer of this.
