Love languages: receiving gifts

How to accept a gift on a luxury date? What should we give? This is a question many people ask. Gift giving is not necessarily about material things, but also about caring and appreciation.

Scientific basis: giving and receiving gifts can trigger the release of oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone fosters bonding and a sense of being valued.

• Symbol of love: gifts serve as a visual reminder of love and thoughtfulness.
• Shows attention: a well-chosen gift indicates that you understand and value the other person’s preferences.
• Creates memories: gifts often evoke positive memories.

How it works:

• Meaningful gifts: personalized items or things that hold sentimental value can have a significant impact.
• Surprise gifts: unexpected presents brighten the other person’s day and make them feel appreciated.

Understanding and applying:

• Celebrate milestones: acknowledge birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions with thoughtful gifts that reflect your partner’s interests and preferences.
• Thoughtful gifts, whether big or small, can convey deep affection. A bouquet of flowers will make the recipient feel cherished, but giving your partner a tailored outfit from their favourite designer can also demonstrate your attentiveness.

Example: if your partner feels loved through receiving gifts that align with their interests and passions, a surprise ticket to a prestigious event such as a fashion show, concert, or theatre performance can make them feel special and appreciated.
