I've written previously about different strategies to find the perfect birthday present for your boyfriend. The strategies we've talked about include narrowing it down based on the the three basic categories of gifts, your relationship stage, and his personality. Today we're going to talk about another strategy for picking an appropriate present: the time of year.
Put yourself back 12 months and try to remember what things you wanted. Pretty different from today, right? That's because your motivations are hugely influenced by the external world. Around Easter and craving chocolates? Around summer and don't want anything more than that floral dress? It's not just good luck.
The first season we're going to discuss is Spring. Many people think that the new year is the time when most people begin new workout plans, resolutions and all, but it's actually not true. The good weather that comes with the Spring gets more people off the couch and into the gym than any other time of year. Encourage him to join the crowd with some new workout clothes or the P90X dvd set.
Next comes summer. For me, one thing has always defined summer - and that's music festivals. All over the country, thousands of people are gathering every week to see incredible line-ups of their favorite bands perform live. Instead of going to one concert, you see dozens of them. And if you've never experienced it (and it is an experience) what better way than together.
Fall: Here's a no-brainer: October is the only month of the year that every major sports league is underway. If he's a baseball fan, some World Series memorabilia is the perfect seasonal gift. If he's a football, hockey, or basketball fan, all three seasons are just getting underway. Sounds like the perfect time to buy him that jersey of his favorite team's new player.
Last but not least comes winter. If you live in a snowy climate like me, there's only one thing going through your head from November to March - where is the sun!? Take him on a trip to somewhere warm and make memories along the way. I'm sure you won't mind a couple days of sun either, right?
