Maybe better than Brett Farve's version!

Well guys, its that time of year again. The time when you try and guess what your girl wants for Christmas...only to leave her in tears by giving her something boneheaded.

If that scenario sounds all too familiar to you...and since you're a guy, I know it DOES...here are six basic gift-giving rules for you to follow. If you do, I promise you won't make your girl cry, yet again, by getting her another terrible gift.

#1) If you're buying clothes and your unsure what size she wears, a little to small is better than a litle too big.

#2) Your girl isn't perfect. But you don't need to remind her of that fact by getting her excercise equiptment, self-help books, wrinkle cream or any other item that will make her feel badly about herself.

#3) Appliances and cookware are okay...but ONLY if she asks for them.

#4) Don't buy something that you'll use more than she will. I repeat: do not buy your girl a present that's more for you than her.

#5) Remember it's truly the thought that counts. But only if you came up with the thought before you reached the checkout line on December 24th.

#6) When all else fails, at least try to create memories. That means either go BIG, or go for the funny. That way, even if you blow it, at least she'll appreciate the effort.

Let's be honest here - it'll be women who are doing most of the shopping and organizing in the hectic days leading up to Christmas. Why? Because for some reason, most men just don't seem to be able to 'do' Christmas. They buy their presents as stores close Christmas Eve - then leave them under the tree in carrier bags. According to a pair of best-selling self-help gurus, with a little understanding of the unique ways male and female brains work, we can all learn to live with - and benefit from- our different approaches to this festive season.

Why men leave their Christmas shopping to the very last minute

A British psychologist, Dr. David Lewis found the stress men expierence while Christmas shopping ranks level with that felt by a police officer dealing with an angry mob. For most women, on the other hand, shopping is a much loved form of stress relief.

Why women are good at wrapping presents - and men aren't

Most men see wrapping presents as a fruitless excercise. A present is a present whether it's tied up in a bow or not. TO them, it's pointless covering something in paper when you're just going to rip it off. A woman likes to see that the giver has taken care and attention in wrapping her gift. In her mind, it's a display of love and affection to see a present has been wrapped carefully.

Why men can't find tape, scissors, or anything else they need

New research says that male brains are usually searching for the word that goes with the object. So it the tub that says "butter" is facing the other way...we won't know it's the butter.

Why men give foot spas as presents

To men, gift giving is an opportunity to help solve problems and find solutions. That's why functional 'useful' gifts such as footspas, vacuum cleaners, and kitchen appliances are so commonly givien by men as gifts.

Why men can't write Christmas cards and watch tv at the same time

A women's brain is never disingaged. It's always active, even when their asleep. Men, on the other hand can't multitask. A male brain is configured to concentrate on one specific task at once, giving him a 'one thing at a time' approach.
