Romantic Christmas gifts range from Wii to last minute vacation getaways to recycled jewelry. It just depends on the personality of your partner.
My heart would sink if my husband gave me a diamond necklace or a brand new SUV or Hummer for Christmas because that's really, really not who I am. In fact I'd be insulted to receive those gifts. But, on the other hand, two of my dearest friends often receive diamond jewelry from the men in their lives -- and they love it. They love the symbolism, beauty, and wearability of those romantic Christmas gifts.
I'd rather get a Wii (hint, hint Bruce!).
Christmas shopping for your lover is easy if you're in tune with who they are -- and if they're good at dropping hints. Pay attention to offhand remarks, such as "I've never had a pedicure, but always wanted to try one." If they're turning green (in the eco-friendly way), they may appreciate something that helps them along, like a book about earth-friendly living. If they love to travel, a last minute vacation would be thrilling. If they like to exercise but feel bored with their routine, Wii might spice things up for them (hint, hint Bruce!).
