Holidays and birthdays of your friends and family can creep up on you without warning at times. Though as a good friend or family member you should remember these special days, sometimes busy schedules can get in the way of your usually good memory.
For someone close to you, and card, a quick dinner or flowers can usually be picked up pretty quick in a time that you happened to forget that special day.
However, what do you get that someone you are in a "not quite so serious yet, but somewhat romantic relationship" with?
Hopefully, you didn't forget about the upcoming holiday or birthday. Flowers, cards, and dinner are just fine if you want to come off and nice, sweet and uncreative, but if you want to really impress her or him, you have to use your imagination.
The best ideas are those that are thoughtful and heartfelt. Something the other person really likes and can not access readily, or something that symbolizes an inside joke the two of you have, or just something silly. Laughter is the best medicine you know!
Is there a special food he or she loves from their hometown and can't get it here? Check the internet- chances are, you can find it there and have it shipped right to their door!
For example, someone originally from Cincinnati may miss some particular ice creams and chili only available there, however you can buy them online and even have them packaged into a gift basket!
Do the two of you ever share a common hate for a particular product over advertised on an infomercial? Something you make fun of on a regular basis and have fun doing it? Why not slap down that $19.99 to get the buy one get one free deal of that silly product? He or she will love it and love you for the thought you put into it.
The truth is, it really is the "thought that counts."
