• With a hint of age or possible flaws (a book with tips on weight loss, anti-aging cream).
• Inappropriate items (business woman, giving all the time to work, is unlikely to like a set of pots, and the housewife will cause confusion leather case for documents).
• Trinkets (do not choose small, meaningless souvenirs as a gift for the anniversary).

• Breakfast in bed. It's hard to believe, but such a little sign of attention will hold the mood at the highest level all day, despite the affairs and worries.
• Flower delivery. During the day a gorgeous bouquet delivered to work or home will lift your spirits very much.
• The organization of a holiday party. Of course, it's worth listening to the birthday girl if she says she doesn't want to invite anyone. But sometimes she's driven by an unwillingness to deal with the many tasks involved in throwing a party. If you take care of the hassle, all that will be left is the pure joy of seeing friends and relatives.
