Ex Gifts - Less Is More
It's understandable to want to use your Ex Gift as a way to remind them of how good they had it with you - but trust us, sweet and simple is the way to go. No matter how desperate you are, you can never let them know, and presenting your ex with an expensive gadget or piece of jewellery will only serve to blow your cover. In this case, it really is the thought that counts, so think bright and breezy, something they like or want, but that doesn't cost you all your ice cream money. Under no circumstances make the mistake of giving something sentimental!
