If your mom's like mine, she probably gave you lots of advice on what to do about mostly everything, including giving gifts. But sometimes what your mother didn't tell you about giving gifts is what matters most. 1. Like, for instance, did your mother ever tell you not to give women appliances as gifts? Mine didn't. In fact, I distinctly remember the year she gave Aunt Maxinne a toaster for her birthday. Do I have to tell you that Aunt Maxinne found it hard to speak to Mom for several months? Aunt M had been hinting for months about some cologne she wanted, and even at a young age, I knew cologne was way better than a toaster. So never, even when asked to, give an appliance to a woman as a...

Copyright (c) 2007 Jay Smith The guide below will give you an insight into presents that will be remembered long after they have been given.

As a woman's psychotherapist, among many other things, I often hear clients express concerns about the younger generation of women and how easily it is for them to lose their way on the rocky road to womanhood. One of the main concepts I preach to older women is becoming a 'mentor' to help guide younger women into adulthood. Having the wisdom gained from years of 'trial and error' experiences in life, older women have so much to offer future generations. I also tell clients that teaching young women about becoming financially responsible and independent is one of the main keys to empowerment as a woman in this society. Money really is power. I can't tell you how many stories I've heard from...
