Gifts are fun because they are intended to be a physical expression of love for one's significant other. However, the acting of preparing a gift can be annoying, particularly if you are not sure what to choose. You can do anything from buying him or her something or panning out a romantic(浪漫的)day.
Choose a suitable gift for your love.
Romantic gifts are a symbolic gesture of your love while practical gifts are something with real value and use.Though you shouldn't be afraid to spend the extra money on a memorable gift, it's important to remember that there are more important things.The gift is meant to be a reflection of that. In some cases, it can feel even more thoughtful if you make something yourself.
Although wrapping is sometimes seen as an unnecessary add-on, the time it takes to unwrap the gift makes the gift-giving more enjoyable for both you and your love. Presents are best if the other people don't know what it is yet.Besides, a romantic letter or card included in the gift also adds to the pleasure of the gift's receiver. More importantly, wait for a special moment to give the gift. You can present your gift at a point where the two of you are relaxed and things are pleasant.

His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Asimov had his finger on the pulse (脉搏) of both scientific and social change.
