Hey WP,
I've been wondering about what kind of gifts a man can give to a female friend.
You see, my friend was talking about some kind of hair treatment, and I went out and got her some "good stuff", recommended by the (young, female, "stylish") store employees, for Christmas, but I've been wondering whether something like that is maybe "too personal" in terms of "there's literally hundreds of different kinds that all work/don't work" and when it comes to a woman's hair, you shouldn't risk ending up giving her something that "ruins" her hair. Today we went shopping, and she was looking for a similar product, so I'm assuming she didn't like what I gave her, (even though she says she really does).
So I've started (over)thinking about "all" the gifts I gave her and "who" should be the one to give them (male friends, female friends, boyfriends, family, etc) and now I´m basically lost in my own thoughts.
For example, a couple months ago when we were shopping, I bought her a "sexy evening gown", (by basically cutting in front of her in line and paying for it before she could herself). But -now- I'm worried she will never be able to enjoy it without being forced to think about me. Same thing goes for "perfume".
What do you guys think? Are there clear "boundaries of gift giving" that I should be following (and have been breaking?), or does it depend on the kind relationship we have?
