A birthday gift is the opportunity to show your loved one precisely how much they mean to you and how special you think they are.
A little thought into your friend or loved one's personality will help you to understand what kind of gift they would really love for their birthday.
What does your friend or loved one like?
It sounds obvious to buy a birthday gift that your friend or loved one will like but many people buy gifts that they think that their friend/loved one will like. This often translates into what you think they should like, which might be very different from what they actually want.
If you don't know then there are a number of things you can do to find clues.
What makes them so special to you?
Think of this birthday gift as your way of showing your friend/loved one how special they are to you and how much they mean to you. Thus your birthday gift should represent your love for the special person in your life. Buy them a naff gift and you'll be in the dog house for a long time!
However if you spend the time to buy a really special birthday gift that they will love, your relationship will truely benefit, both from the gift and your greater understanding of your other half.
