The Love Language of Gifts

I think I definitely have underestimated my wife's love language of gifts.  When we were in premarital counseling, we went through Dr. Chapman's book, and she tested out highly on quality time, gifts, physcial touch and words of affirmation; no small task for a new husband.  But as we've been married almost two years now, I see that just a small gift loves her very well.

The other day, she ran her first 5k race, and my allowance to not be there was to get her a gift.  I got a good tip from another friend of a very girly store with all kinds of crafts and things.  I wanted to get her something that would last, so she could remember the accomplishment, and I ended up getting her a necklace with a cool polished stone.  She loved it!  And was happy for like two days!

Her birthday is coming up, so I'm trying to think of something again.  In the past, I've gotten her a few of her favorite types of makeup, like alexandra demarkoff makeup.  But, she looks good enough without it.  Maybe, I'll get her something from this store to commemorate the great date we had seeing that movie.  Sentimental gifts always seem to mean more anyway.  

The good thing is that since she loves gifts so much, it's hard to go wrong!
