How can you show the love of your life you appreciate him this Christmas? Did you know that women and men communicate differently? While you might enjoy a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a sweet note, your sweetheart might just want the latest hi-tech KitchenAid Coffee Brewer or a new Wii Controller this Christmas bought from the best AU Christmas sales this year.
While having the best intentions to communicate your love matters, what makes a difference is showing that you love and understand who he really is.
Sometimes we default to what we love or know our dad or granddad liked at Christmas. How many guys end up with a boring tie or tacky gift that gets regifted to his favorite uncle next year? Want to get the best Christmas presents for your boyfriend or hubby this year?
1. Show You Know What He Loves

Does your spouse love cooking waffles on Sunday mornings? Then surprise him with an exciting breakfast-in-bed with giant Belgian waffles made with his new state-of-the-art waffle maker.
Do you have an artsy boyfriend? Get him a new camera or drone and pair it with a gorgeous album of his best photography.
Got a tech-lover in your home? Hone in on what kind of tech he likes and find a gift that allows you to share in his love like a new game system where you can co-op play together or a beautiful Bluetooth smart speaker system you can enjoy together.

2. Quality Time and Affection Matters
When you find the perfect way to love your man, don’t underestimate quality time and physical affection. Some guys might act tough or seem to want to be alone all the time. The reality is that he wants to make memories and laugh with you as much as you want to spend the time with him. If you have kids together, that quality time can become scarce, leaving you both feeling empty inside. Having your undivided attention may be the best way to show him you love him.
Make a change this Christmas. Send the kiddos to the grandparents’ house, cancel the work meetings, and spend a wild weekend together. If you can’t get away, set aside a few hours every week to focus on each other. You can watch a movie together, order in, and cuddle. Or if you like a challenge, face off in a video game or board game. Play sports together. Enjoy the beach or go hiking.
3. Remember Why You Love Him and Look to the Future
Remember what made you care about each other so much in the beginning? Was it his laugh or his cheesy jokes? Did you find the way he lifted weights utterly heart-stopping? Show your man he is the priority in your life. Thank him for being there for you this year. Talk about your hopes and dreams for tomorrow. Relive those wonderful memories by making new ones this Christmas.
