Filipinas loved to be pampered by their husbands or boyfriends. Aside from the immaterial expressions of love such as commitment and care, material expressions of love through giving of gifts is very essential in keeping the relationship alive.  Women by nature likes to receive gifts.  They treat gifts as one form of assurance from the guy that they are being loved and cared for.  The husband/boyfriend who wants his wife/girlfriend happy must consider giving gifts, most especially on special occasions like birthday, anniversary, Christmas Day or Valentines Day, an important duty to strengthen the bond of relationship. 

Below is the list of things considered “favorites” and highly appreciated by Filipinas.

Roses, flower bouquets and chocolates.

The giving of flowers alone or bundled together with chocolates, to date, is the most romantic form of gift to a woman.  The most popular flower to give are roses.  It can be given as a single stalk, in bundles of three or a dozen.  The color of the flower conveys different meanings.  Red signifies intensity and deep warmth of love while white can convey purity of intentions.  Of course, it all depends on the woman’s preference.  It is best to be familiar with the likes of the partner.

Chocolates are another top choice as gift to a woman.  Women are fond of sweets than men.  This type of gift will surely gratify their appetite for sweets.  Besides, chocolates are considered aphrodisiacs and releases serotonin in the brain when absorbed by the body.  The increased level of serotonin in the body results in the increased feeling of love by the woman.  You can consider chocolates a “mini love potion”.  Wanna want your woman to stick to you like scotch tape? Then pamper her with chocolates.

Fragrance

The scent of Perfumes and Colognes enhances the sex appeal of the woman.  Women feel sexy and desirable when wearing their favorite perfume.  The scent of a perfume acts like pheromones that attracts a man to the woman.  It provides a woman great pleasure to see her man head over heels in love with her, magnetized with just the smell of her. 

Jewelries

Jewelries enhances the beauty of the woman when worn together with a nice dress.  Truly, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.  The more precious the stone or jewelry, the greater is the love.  Dressing up looks bare without the jewelries.  A woman being conscious with fashion will truly appreciate if you give her jewelries.

Electronic gadgets

Possession of the latest models in electronic gadgets is a status symbol.  Every girl wants to possess them. Electronic gadgets like laptop, computers, cellphones, mp3/mp4 players, digital cameras among others,  are definitely well-appreciated when given to a woman.

To foreigners with Filipina fiancée or wife, sending gifts to the Philippines may be the best option to express love to her, to show to her that despite the distance you still care.
