Evernote
If you haven’t come across the Evernote app. I’m not sure where you’ve been. Most people use it for note taking and organization. I found a unique way of helping me remember things that my wife has expressed interest in, or things that she says in conversation.
I created a file with her name on it. So if we’re out at the mall and she wants to stop by a store and try something on, I will take a picture of her in what she has. I save it to my folder then if we don’t buy it, then I will have a future gift I know she will love. No need to rack my brain for gifts. I have a folder full of pictures of things that she has tried on.
Don't limit your love to just a holiday. Show love all year long. Click To TweetThe same goes for conversations. There will times throughout the year where she will mention something like a new hobby or skill that she wants to learn. Maybe a book that she wants to read. All of these things go into folder and can be ideas for gifts at a later date.
