A Victorian Lady’s Christmas Gift Guide.
- smacktoward 10y agoInteresting article! The title as posted is a bit misleading, as the article covers not just gifts the era considered appropriate for men but gifts for both men and women of varying degrees of relation (married, family, courting/engaged, etc.) I'd suggest changing to the title on the article itself, "A Victorian Lady’s Christmas Gift Guide."
- Avawelles 10y agoFair point, but I thought the actual title of the article was misleading since most of it is about gifts for men.
- angmarsbane 10y ago“A costly gift from a gentleman to a young lady would be indelicate, as having the appearance of a bribe upon her affections.” I appreciate this line. There's some foresight here to avoid pressuring a woman or forcing some obligation on her due to an expensive gift. Gender aside, that's a nice foresight to have with anyone.
