what it all means

If you weren't already planning to spend Christmas in romantic analysis mode...

The Frisky has this guide to what your boyfriend's present means.

You'll learn the relationship significance -- or, um, insignificance -- of everything from chocolates to extra RAM for your computer.

But as a word of caution, sometimes it's best to accept gifts simply for what they are on the surface: a sign that somebody cares.

Yes, there are emotionless gifts, effortless gifts...even recycled gifts...but don't let one paper-wrapped gesture overshadow the rest of the year.

Unless, of course, it's something you really, really hate.
