There are men/ women in relationships who haven't been exposed to the significance of material gifts as tokens of love within their families. Yes, you heard me right—material things bear a lot of significance regarding the person you are with and the bond you've created. Have you ever wondered, at least, about your partner's likes, favorite color, food, or flower? Do they prefer accessories or not? Are they into heels or flats? Who is their favorite singer or actor? Moving on to more crucial questions—do they envision marriage? Do they want children? Do they enjoy pursuing a career further? Do they prefer a joint or nuclear family? Probably not. You may not have put much thought into your romantic relationships, and why? Perhaps because you've kept all your relationships in similar formats, not delving into the preferences of your parents, siblings, or friends. People don't always deeply consider their actions; sometimes, it's subconscious. However, the highlight is that most of the time, we still love people unconditionally even when we fail to express it.
Well, there are many thoughtful things you can do for your partner—gift them flowers of their liking, a CD mix with their favorite songs, themed T-shirts or mugs from their favorite series or movies, something handcrafted by you, a bottle of their favorite wine, a dress, a purse, or an accessory. What matters here is not the price but the thought! Flowers might wither away, but the moment they are received, the happiness is forever etched in the mind. Indians often fail to provide such thoughtful things. For instance, my dad gave a huge bouquet of flowers to my mom on their 10th anniversary, but that was a one-time occurrence, even though remarkable. No, the things you do should be consistent. Give them flowers on special days like birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or any random day of affection.
I feel disheartened when people forget the significance of showing affection through material things because they are not mere possessions; they are tokens of our affection and shared bond.
