If you have or ever have had a significant other around the holidays you know that the ultimate goal is to try to find them that perfect gift that really says “I am the only one who really gets you and I love you."

However, this is ALWAYS easier said than done. When looking for that perfect surprise, you soon realize that unless they have told you what they specifically want, absolutely nothing seems to make the cut. So, if you are that significant other, you should tell your curious partner what it is you really want!

First off and most obviously, the reason your significant other is prodding you trying to get info on what you want is that they want to make you happy and show you that you are important to them. If you think about it, having that is the ultimate dream. Lots of people in this world would kill to be in your position!!

Second, it makes them feel important. This isn’t quite so obvious but deep down when you tell them the funny little gifts that you would get a kick out of or that there’s something nobody else knows that you want, they start to feel needed and special. And if you were in their shoes you would want to feel needed and special too.

Lastly, they are doing this because they care about you. Knowing that they could do something to brighten your day or make you smile means the world to them. So don’t discourage that.

So, when your significant other comes up to you this holiday and starts quizzing you on what you want, please answer them! I know we often appreciate the element of surprise, but if they are wanting to make you as happy as they do, then what is the harm in letting them have a little joy too?
