Beautiful flowers and decadent chocolates are known to melt every girl's heart; but not when it's Christmas, it seems.
The usual romantic gifts may no longer be worthy of a Christmas present, Singaporean girls tell RazorTV.
Vouchers and photoframes as well, are a no-no to some girls. Here are some responses:
"Flowers are a waste of money...and they die anyway, so it's a waste of money."
"Chocolates...it's too common already, to be a Christmas present."
Said another: "I would say expensive things, because it is quite pressurizing. He might expect something in return."
In fact, the price of the gift doesn't matter. Girls prefer thoughtful gifts that showed their men had put in the effort.
Like?
"Something meaningful, something that reminds me of our relationship."
Cards and letters are a surprising favourite.
"They take the time and effort to write the card, and it really contains their sincerity."
"I would leave it up to him, but it doesn't have to be very materialistic. Because it matters more how he feels. I mean, his money does not equate to how much he loves me."
But of course if you can afford to splurge, your girl will be more than happy to receive.
Gifts like a holiday and jewelry are welcome.
And we didn't have to look far to find men who are willing to spoil their girlfriends silly.
