Problem: Article: A big part of the fun of giving a gift is watching the person unwrap the gift. Make the gift wrapping personal to the person by choosing wrapping that is in the person's favorite color or that has the person's favorite animal printed all over it. Use ribbon or bows on the gift wrapping for an added touch. You may also want to get creative with the wrapping by using a nice gift box or gift bag and tissue paper. Alternatively, wrap the gift in duct tape or masking tape. You can then watch them struggle to open the gift, just reassure them it will be worth it once they get to the gift inside. Write up a nice card to accompany the gift, as this is considered a considerate touch to any gift. Use a card that expresses how you feel about the person. Often, funny cards a good way to brighten someone's day and get her more excited for the actual gift. If you are giving the person an experience in the form of gift cards or a certificate, place them in the card and use the envelope as gift wrapping. Rather than simply hand the gift over to the person, get creative and make the gift giving element interesting. Send the person on a scavenger hunt to find her gift or put a secret message in the person's favorite book that she must decode to locate her gift. You can also leave the gift in an area she may not expect to find a gift and let her experience a surprise that way. Being creative about giving the gift can help to amplify the excitement for the receiver and make her experience of receiving the gift that much better.
Summary: Personalize the gift wrapping. Include a card with the gift. Get creative with the giving of the gift.

Problem: Article: When you're trying to get a man in the mood after initial introductions, try playing a game together. Go to a tennis court and play a round. Play a card or board game. Try competitive video games. Competition can spike testosterone levels in both men and women, leading to higher sexual arousal. Pomegranate juice has been shown to boost men's sex drives in a few studies. If you're interested in seducing a man, try offering him a cocktail using pomegranate juice. If he doesn't drink, offer him plain pomegranate juice as a beverage. If you're trying to set a romantic or sexual scene, consider a new hairstyle. Men might not notice right away that you've changed your hair, but they will notice you're looking more put together. This can be attractive. Much like planning an outfit, pick something you feel good about rather than catering explicitly to a man's interests. While a guy might say he prefers long, layered hair, if you feel sexiest with a short bob that will be conveyed in how you act with your new style. Talk to a hair stylist about what style and color would be most flattering for you. Talk to one another about sexual fantasies. These do not have to be fantasies you intend to engage in, but just sharing secret desires can enhance both of your sex drives. Talk about scenes from movies or television shows you found arousing. You can even try watching some of these films together to get you both in the mood. A fun game to play can be "Never Have I Ever," but a sexy version. In this game, you both take turns say something sexual you've never done but have always been curious about. This can be a fun predecessor to physical contact.
Summary: Try playing a game together. Use pomegranate. Get a haircut. Share fantasies.

Problem: Article: Plug the Ethernet cable into your desktop's square Ethernet port (usually found on the back of the desktop), then plug the other end into the laptop's Ethernet port. If you're connecting to a Mac laptop, you'll need a USB-C to Ethernet adapter plugged into your Mac before you can attach the Ethernet cable. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Doing this will search your computer for the Control Panel program. You'll find this at the top of the Start window. Control Panel will open. It should be on the left side of the Control Panel page. If your Control Panel page has "Small icons" or "Large icons" written in the top-right corner, skip this step. Doing so opens a list of all current connections. It's a link in the upper-left side of the window. You should see two monitor-shaped icons, one of which is labeled "Wi-Fi" and the other of which is labeled "Ethernet". Click and drag your mouse across these two icons to select both of them. You can also press Ctrl+A to select both at the same time if they're the only two connections listed here. A drop-down menu will appear. If your computer doesn't have a right mouse button, use two fingers to click or tap the trackpad, or press the right side of the trackpad's button, to simulate a right-click. It's in the drop-down menu. Doing so will allow you to send Wi-Fi through the Ethernet cable, thus allowing your connected laptop to use your desktop's Internet.
Summary: Connect your desktop to a laptop with an Ethernet cable. Open Start on the desktop. Type in control panel. Click Control Panel. Click Network and Internet. Click Network and Sharing Center. Click Change adapter settings. Select both connection icons. Right-click one of the connection icons. Click Bridge Connections.

Problem: Article: There are many different styles and cuts that poodle owners can choose from. Some common cuts are the Puppy Clip, the Continental Clip, and the Bikini Clip. While there are other grooming options, these are the most common. Consult a professional groomer on which cuts would be best for your dog. Remember, if you're doing most of your dog's grooming at home, you'll need to commit to a certain amount of time and effort. Some cuts are easier to style and maintain than others. All of the common styles involve trimming or shaving the poodle's face, feet, and the base of the tail. The style of the poodle's body fur changes significantly based on the chosen clip. Though it may seem tempting to buy a cheaper pair of clippers or scissors, getting a higher-quality product will be better for your dog. Better clippers are less likely to scrape your dog's skin or pull his fur while cutting. A cordless clipper will make the grooming much easier for you! High-quality clippers such as Laube, Andis, or Oster cost around $125-$175. They should last much longer than their less expensive counterparts. Note that many groomers seem to prefer Andis or Laube over Oster, as Oster clipper blades can heat during trimming. If you do use Oster, you may want to have extra blades of the same size so that you can switch them out if they become heated. Good scissors made for grooming may cost around $50. These scissors should be sharp and comfortable for you to cut with. You may want to try out different models before purchasing them. Clippers have interchangeable blades that are numbered to indicate the length that they will leave the fur after trimming, with higher numbers indicating shorter fur. You will likely need a variety of clipper blades: start with a 5, 7, 10, 15, and 30. If you cannot afford to get many different blades or you're just starting out, begin with at 10 or 15. Be aware that use of 30 and 40 blades can be quite difficult and should usually be left to experienced or professional groomers. Improper use of these (very short) blades can scrape or burn your poodle's skin. Trimming takes some time, and if your pup is well-rested, he may not sit still long enough for you to finish. Taking him to the park or on a long walk for exercise before you begin may lead to a more cooperative subject. Before you begin clipping, turn the clippers on around your dog. This is especially important for a puppy or a poodle who has not been regularly groomed. Over time, your dog should become more and more comfortable being around the clippers. You may want to have a professional groomer clip your poodle the first few times so that you do not have to worry about both introducing your dog to the clippers and learning to clip the fur.
Summary:
Choose a cut for your poodle. Invest in good quality clippers and scissors. Use the right blades. Allow your dog to exercise prior to trimming. Introduce your dog to the clippers.
