With the holidays approaching, it's about that time when we all start our Chrismas shopping. My family is usually very direct with each other as to what we want. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is a different story.

We've been dating almost a year and this is our first Christmas we'll be celebrating together. He had already told me that he had gotten my present and wrapped it. Which leads me to my main topic for this blog post; why are there no generic, go-to sentimental presents to buy for guys? A guy could almost always buy a girl a piece of jewelry, flowers, chocolate, stuffed animals, etc. and have it be a successful Christmas.

So why are there no good presents for guys? If you talk to most guys, it seems that a new gadget, sports tickets, or a t-shirt are pretty standard. But where's the sentiment in those types of gifts? It's hard to imagine a gift like an iPad going down in the memory books as a heartfelt present. Besides, many electronics and sporting events are extremely expensive.

Maybe it's just me, but I think the gift-giving field is very unbalanced. Agree or disagree?
