Christmas Gifts for Him and Her

Posted by Azh

I love surfing the shops online at this time of year – not just to see what goodies are being released just before Christmas or in the hunt for the christmas present for the kids, but because the “his and her” christmas lists a lot of shops make up to help people choose the right gift.

Let’s take a look at some of them and you’ll see what I mean.

Take Asda for example. For him, they recommend:-
Sporting Days Out
Spheering (this deserves a post of its own!) and Parachuting
Powerboating
Ferrari Racing
Flying Lessons
Wine Tasting
Name a Star/Moon After him
Adopt an animal

For Her, they recommend:-
A Makeover
A Spa
A meal Out for two
A Day out in London
Afternoon Tea
Beauty Treatment

Now Tesco:-
For Him:-
Apple iPod
Ultra Mobile PC
Xbox 360 Pro
Apple iPhone
Digital Camera

For Her:-
A Chocolate fountain
A Digital Photo Frame
Cashmere Sweater
Christmas Bouquet
Drinks fountain
Think Pink Full Car Set
Bath Robe
Pink & Red Pyjamas

Seeing a pattern here? These places seem to think that only men are interested in the good stuff. I’m not saying I want to go skydiving or any other thing that means I have to exert energy :-p but I can guarantee if anyone turned up with the so called “for her” presents from either store, I’d be more inclined to strangle the person bearing the gift than to thank them!

Be honest, how many of you women out there reading wouldn’t prefer more of the gifts in the men’s lists than for the women!!!!
