Christmas Gifts For Mistress and For Wife

Christmas brings with it the stress of having to select gifts for everyone in your life. The stress comes with a double measure when you are a married to a loving, dutiful wife and attached to a beautiful mistress. The man with a mistress and a wife looking up to him for a wonderful Christmas always finds himself at a hot spot once every year. So how do you go about selecting the ideal gifts for either of these women? Christmas gifts for mistress and for wife are worlds apart in difference and they must be selected from very different perspectives if you are going to succeed in killing two birds with a single stone (making two women happy in one Christmas).

The first thing you need to consider while selecting Christmas gifts for mistress and for wife is their varied interests. Most probably the mistress loves the finer things in life. Luxury and fashion are her middle names. On the other hand the wife would like a little romance at Christmas and something that is going to make her feel appreciated for being the mother of your children and your caregiver. So utilize these different interests while selecting the gifts. Try to find a gift voucher for the mistress so that she can go shopping for herself and get what she wants. That is going to mean some money though. Remember, you are not expected to be mean to a mistress. If you want to keep her then spoil her at Christmas.

The wife is probably exhausted right now since the kids are at home most of the time and she has been all over the place organizing for all the Christmas parties. She needs to rest and feel loved. Before Christmas comes, try to take her out on a weekend – just the two of you. Let her relax and enjoy herself fully. If this is done by the time Christmas comes she will love you enough not to care for a gift. Nevertheless, you will feel guilty for having spent a lot of money buying Christmas gifts for mistress and not to buying some Christmas gifts for wife. So go ahead and think about something that might make her life easy.

Let’s get to the criteria of selecting Christmas gifts for mistress and for wife proper. The following are factors you must consider while selecting the Christmas gifts for mistress:

1. It must be luxurious since mistresses breathe nothing but luxury (think emeralds, gift vouchers, car maybe etc)
2. Do not give her money since she never gets enough of that. Incidentally, it is advisable that you maintain her allowance at the same level and only add a Christmas gift on top. Do not set precedents in varying the allowance!
3. Try to get her into going for a Christmas holiday somewhere away from home. This will give you space to breathe. It will make it possible for you to spend time with the wife and kids during a very important season for the family. You can join her later as soon as you are able to break free from home.
4. Do not let her know what you are buying Christmas gifts for wife or else you will start a comparison game. Do not send her to buy the wife’s gift no matter what happens.
5. Try to be romantic to an extent by buying some exotic garment (lingerie maybe) from an expensive high-end store and have it delivered to her address. Some shoes (think winter boots) will be ideal too, if you know her feet size and preferences.

2. Think about a gift that will make her feel beautiful and appreciated for trying to look nice (a feminine dress that helps display her best features, a gift voucher from the finest salon in the area, a gym membership)
3. Think about something she can share with her children (a whole box of chocolates)
4. Think of a gift that appreciates and boosts her housekeeping efforts (interior décor)
5. Think of a gift that appreciates and boosts her culinary skills (a recipe book, kitchen appliance)
6. Do not forget to be a little romantic. Red roses are a must and they should be frequent this Christmas. Squeeze in a dinner date at a fine hotel and tell her how wonderful, lovely and beautiful she is.
7. Whatever you do spend Christmas at home with her and the kids before going off to spend part of the Christmas holidays with the mistress.

Agnes Sorel’s Influence on French Royalty

True greatness looks it from far. There are some people whose presence is dominating and influencing, in disregard of age or gender. Such was Sorel’s personality, so distinct and powerful, that she became an enemy of all who revolted against the reign of King Charles VII. She rose from a mere court visitor to a royal mistress after one meeting with the king, and the court was never the same again.

The only way to get rid of her was to murder her, which was done after her presence in the court for eight years. Agnes Sorel was born in 1421 at Fromenteau, Touraine in France. By the time she died on 9th February 1450, after a mere 28 years alive, she had impacted on King Charles VII’s court in a way that no royal mistress has ever done in history. Born of a soldier, Jean Soreau and Catherine de Maignelais, Agnes Sorel was a beauty to behold and a brain to marvel at.

Within a week’s time, the King had taken her in as a mistress.

Such was her beauty and extraordinary personality, that her presence radiated and commanded every man in a mile’s perimeter.
