Gift giving can be tricky, especially for a significant other. It’s got to be something they don’t already have, and that’s at a price-point appropriate to where you are in the relationship. You want to make sure you give something that’s thoughtful and fun, but also something they’ll use a lot. Unless you’re these girls.

Overheard of the Week

At Urban Outfitters at Tysons Corner:

Two teenage girls browsing books.

Girl #1: “What about this book?” (Picking up a book about Kama Sutra positions.)
Girl #2: “What?! You can’t buy that book for your boyfriend!”
Girl #1: “Why not?”
Girl #2: “Because what if he breaks up with you? He will use that book on other girls.”
Girl #1: “Ohhh, I guess you are right.”
Girl #2: “Never ever buy those books for a boyfriend. Always make them buy them for you.”
