So, you’re heading abroad and already have a date lined up when you land. Great, just don’t show up empty-handed. In many cultures you’re expected to bring a small present when meeting people for the first time. Because of this, today’s article is a complete guide to buying gifts for girls.

Below is a terrific selection of gift options that any girl will love, plus you’ll discover the secret to “gift giving game.” A powerful technique worth exploring.

Alright, here’s the guide:

1. Perfume: Budget Pick

There’s no reason to break the bank buying gifts if you’re chatting with a girl online and haven’t met her before.

In a situation like this, get her an inexpensive gift like a bottle of $10 – $20 perfume.

Check out Purr by Katy Perry (it comes in a cat shaped bottle which a lot of girls love).

Or, if you’re looking for something more traditional, pick up a bottle of Revlon Fire & Ice.

Both of these are great gift options and sure to go over well.

2. Perfume: High-End Option

Most Asian women are into high-fashion. Girls in Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, China, and the Philippines all buy designer beauty products and expensive clothes (within their budget). The same is true for Russian and Eastern European women.

Because of this, high-end perfumes make an excellent gift.

Versace Bright Crystal is a good, popular option from a well-known brand.

Gucci Bamboo is another excellent choice and seems incredibly popular with most women.

And, if you really want to show off, pick up a bottle of Lancome La Vie Est Belle.

This is a brand every girl loves, you’ll look like a hero of you show up with a bottle of this.

3. Chocolate

When it comes to buying gifts, you can’t go wrong with some quality chocolate.

A nice box of Ferrero Rocher always goes over well. I have yet to meet a woman who doesn’t love these.

Otherwise, go for a big box of Godiva chocolates.

4. Candies

Some countries have terrible sweets. Because of this, girls go nuts when you bring them candies that actually taste good.

Don’t go with anything overly sour or spicy unless the girl you’re giving these to likes that.

Something like this Snickers, M&M’S & Twix variety pack is a good choice. It’s a nice mix of traditional and well liked candies for every taste pallet.

5. Fashion Accessories

Clothes and accessories (like a purse or sunglasses) can make a nice gift. Just don’t go overboard on this stuff.

Personally, I think sunglasses are always an excellent choice. They’re practical, girls love them, and they’re easier to shop for than a dress or purse.

These WearMe cat eye sunglasses are a good, stylish gift with a contemporary design.

And these WearMe reflective lenses are another wonderful choice.

Final Tip On Buying Gifts

One last thing to mention. If you’re using a dating site to chat with women before your trip abroad, you’ll often hit it off with a few girls before losing touch with them.

Getting them a small gift is an excellent way to re-spark the conversation and set up a date once you’re in their country.

I call this “gift giving game,” and it’s highly effective.

Try buying gifts under $10 (this Jovan Musk perfume is an excellent choice) and then inviting them out for coffee or a drink.

It’s a tiny investment that practically guarantees you’re getting a date.
