10 gifts your girlfriend does not want from you! (2024)

This is what you should NOT gift your girlfriend!

Let’s face it- when it comes to gifting women, it is one of the trickiest jobs in the world. Not because you don’t know what to buy, but most of the times because you don’t know if she will like it or not. Women are pretty choosy when it comes to gifts. They like specific colors, patterns and designs. The job of gifting women becomes tougher when the woman in question is nobody but your partner. We are sure that you might have made some gifting mistakes in the past. With Christmas and New Year around the corner, it is that time of the year again when people all over gift each other. If you too are hunting for a perfect gift for your partner this festive season, let us help. To avoid making mistakes, we have listed down some gifts that you should definitely avoid buying. These are gifts that no woman ever wants to receive from her man. If your idea of gift is a part of this list, drop that idea immediately. Read to know what gifts we are talking about:

1. Perfumes:

Perfumes are one of the most personal gifts. Do not gift this to your woman until you are sure of what scent she likes. Since we mentioned earlier, women are choosy, chances are, she likes only a particular fragrance. And you will end up buying her a perfume that she loathes. So never buy a perfume as a gift for your girlfriend, unless she goes out with you to make her choice.

2. Clothes:

Another thing that you must not buy until you are sure you know all about her fashion taste. And if you have already bought a pretty dress for her as a Christmas present, let us tell you, keep that bill receipt safe with you. So if at all the size doesn’t fit or she doesn’t like the color, she can easily exchange it or return it. That way she will be happy at least.

3. Pets:

Just because she does, ‘Awww’ every time she sees a puppy or a cat, doesn’t mean she loves the idea of wanting to own one. So pets for gifts are a big no-no. If she has ever mentioned to you in your conversations that she has always wished to have a dog, then we say go for it.

4. Cash:

Now who gives cash to their girlfriends? This is one gift that no woman likes to receive from her man. Being her partner you should know about her likes and dislikes. Cash for gift are given to people you don’t really know. So if you have made that mistake already, make up for it by gifting her something really beautiful.

5. Crockery or any kitchen appliances:

Unless you are okay being hit on the head by that same appliance, avoid buying kitchen stuff. Not even if she is your wife. Stuff like these should be brought together and not when it is a special day or festive season.

6. Tickets to any match:

Now this gift might really piss her off? Do you really want to take her out for a game on a festival day or on a special night? Sports is what you like, so avoid being selfish and don’t even get this idea in your head that she will love it. If she is a sports fanatic just as you are, then it might serve your purpose, else this gift is one of the worst gifting ideas.

7. Gifting nothing at all:

Never ask your woman what she wants this New Years or Christmas. You will always hear a , I don’t want anything.’ And if you took this literally, then you are in deep trouble. Every woman loves getting gifts from their significant other. Do not go empty handed on special days. Even if she says she doesn’t want anything, she does really wish you get her something. So no gift is something a woman never appreciates.

8. No vouchers or gift cards:

This is also one of those gifts that you give colleagues or distant relatives. She is your girlfriend; you should know what she likes and what she doesn’t. If you give her a gift card, chances are you are likely to put your relation in trouble. It is as good as telling that, ’I love you but I don’t know what you like so go do whatever you want.’ Not romantic at all!

9. Bath items:

Loofahs, scented soaps or bathrobes are good for bathroom décor which a woman can pretty much do by herself. She will not expect this as a gift. This is the last thing you must gift your girlfriend this festive season. A woman always appreciates gifts that have a lot of efforts gone into it. Something more personalized is what we are talking about. You can’t just gift her random bath oil or body scrub.

10. Chocolates:

This is the laziest gift that one can gift on a special day. Women are tired of getting chocolates as gifts. Yes, women do love them, but for god’s sake stop giving them as gifts.

Having listed down these points with so much clarity, we are assuming that you would not pick any of these as gifts for your girlfriend. Some of these like clothes or perfumes can certainly be brought if you guys go together, but definitely not as a surprise unless you want to be surprised. So this time make your choice correctly and make your lady feel loved and wanted.
