When you are in a relationship with Russian, Ukrainian or Moldovan women — one of the best ways to show you care for them is by giving them gifts. This isn’t because Eastern European women are more materialistic than women from other parts of the world — after all, all women like gifts — it’s because they see it as a sign of affection and a way to mark special occasions such as anniversaries.
A gift shows the woman you are dating that you are serious about the relationship and that you have a generous heart, something every Eastern European girl looks for in the man she hopes will become her husband. Gifts make them feel loved, especially if you have put thought into what you are giving, as it either reflects your relationship or shows that you know your girlfriend well.
Eastern European women like gifts that show them you care about them, and this might mean spending a little or a lot on a present because each woman is different. The trick to buying the right gift is understanding your girlfriend. She might prefer to receive a lot of small but meaningful gifts more than one big one — that show you are thinking about her and paying attention to what she says and dreams about. This might be teddy bears, flowers, or boxes of chocolates delivered for no reason other than that you love and desire to surprise her.
Other women, while they would definitely appreciate these thoughtful gifts, would probably appreciate something a little more extravagant. For these women, larger gifts are precious as they make them feel more confident about your feelings towards them as they see you are serious about wanting a relationship. For them, an ideal gift might be a diamond ring, a car or house, or expensive clothing.
How you feel about the woman you are dating, will tell the gifts you buy her and how generous you are, and you shouldn’t feel obliged to buy more expensive gifts just because a woman demands them though your generosity may well be rewarded.
While Eastern European women love receiving gifts and feel special when they do, it’s important to under the culture and psychology of the woman you are dating. Even when she loves the gift you have bought her, she might not show it as openly as you had hoped. It is why many say that Eastern European women are hard to buy for and impossible to please. This isn’t true, however, and because Slavic women are loyal, loving, and devoted, you can be sure that in her heart she appreciates every gift you give her.
If you aren’t sure what the best gift would be, don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice from friends or family, especially if she is close to them. They will be able to let you know exactly what is likely to make her happy or what that certain something she’s been hoping for is. And, if you are based in another country — which is entirely possible at the start of your relationship — remember that your dating agency can probably help too, giving you ideas on just what your girlfriend might like because they understand the culture and mindset of Eastern European women, or ordering presents for you from some local companies.
Eastern European women use gifts to understand the intentions of a man. If you are serious about a girl, the gifts you give will show this. You will have put thought and effort into buying them and this will be displayed when your girlfriend opens her gift. The longer you know your girlfriend, the more personal the gifts should become, letting her know that you understand who she is and what makes her happy.
When you fall for a woman and want to make her happy, your initial reaction might be to buy her lots of expensive gifts, but it is better to start small and build up on the type of gifts you give your girlfriend as the relationship develops.
Think about how the gift makes your girlfriend feel. You might think it is an incredibly romantic gesture, for example, to turn up in a limousine with wine and roses and whisk her off for a romantic meal. If she isn’t used to such luxuries, however, she might feel overwhelmed and not enjoy herself, or she might question your motives. It’s much better to start with the wine and roses and build up to the luxury car ride.
Especially at the beginning of a relationship, you might find yourself giving your girlfriend gifts because you want to show her that you are serious or are missing her and want her to know that. This might be something as simple as sending her a bouquet of flowers. Whatever you give her, she will no doubt be surprised, and emotions of love and affection towards you will follow.
As the relationship develops, and you begin to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries as well as holidays and special occasions, you will find that you are buying gifts that reflect the event. These events are great times to buy gifts and show your girlfriend how much you care. Eastern European women prefer gifts that are romantic at these times, and not always practical, so think about flower, chocolates, perfume or jewelry. Buy gifts that will matter to your girlfriend. If you do buy her perfume, make sure it’s one she loves and wears; if she likes music, buy concert tickets; or, if she likes to travel, take her on a holiday or a romantic weekend.
Whatever you choose, remember that Eastern European women like to take care of themselves and their appearance for themselves and their boyfriend, want to be spoilt and are really feminine so your gifts should reflect this. Make-up or jewelry make good gifts as a result, especially as Eastern European women appreciate jewelry and enjoy being admired while wearing it.
Get Creative
Slavic women are especially appreciative when they know how much thought and effort has gone into buying a gift, so it pays to be creative, which is particularly helpful if you don’t have the money to buy your girlfriend everything you would like to. If you want to take her for a romantic meal, for example, but can’t afford her favorite restaurant, you could always recreate the meal at home with candles and soft music to make it even more special.
Another wonderful way to spend the evening at home is to surprise your girlfriend when she gets in with a glass of wine and trail or rose petals to a bathroom lit by candlelight and a bath filled with her favorite bubbles or bath oil.
If you do have the money to pay for the restaurant, try to make inviting your girlfriend for a special dinner. Instead of just letting her know that is where you are going, tell her to dress up but keep the destination a secret or leave a hand-written card where she will find it telling her where to go, and you will be waiting at the door of the restaurant with flowers.
How you package the gift can also show how much you care. Yes, shops can gift-wrap packages wonderfully, but your girlfriend will probably appreciate a hand-wrapped gift just as much, if not more, especially if you use different types of paper or ribbons. Knowing you took the time and effort to wrap the gift yourself will make most Russian, Moldovan or Ukrainian girls very happy and put them in a good mood.
Whatever you do, the trick is to make it special, and your girlfriend will feel special too. Whether it’s a romantic meal in, an evening lazing at home after a luxurious bath, or a surprise trip she finds out about in an unusual way, the fact that you have put thought into the gift will mean more to her than the money you might have spent.
When you are dating women from Eastern Europe, presents do matter but the care and attention are much more important. Show your girlfriend you love her through gifts, large or small; this will help your relationship grow and flourish. And, if you don’t get it right at first with the gift-giving, don’t worry, try again. Look closely at what your girlfriend says, what she likes and what doesn’t, how she responds to the presents you give her. And remember, what she really wants to know is you love and care for her, and that, even if you are thousands of miles away, you are thinking of her and she can feel close to you through your thoughtful gifts.
