Getting him out for shopping is the real struggle of my life, be it grocery or personal shopping, says Aditi Gosavi, Freelancer.

Working around this, I now take him out suggest shopping for him and visit a few stores for men’s stuff and quietly sneak out to the ladies section for my shopping. I have been using this method for years now and it still works well for me, Aditi added.

Sana Shaikh, model says, “Tell him that you’re shopping for a new swim suit or lingerie; nothing will excite him more than this at shopping.

However, this won’t work every time, so grab a few beers with him and put him in a good mood, Sana Adds.

Buy at least one dress of his choice or for his mom, this works wonders especially when you’re a guy is a momma’s boy, says Shreyasi Parkhe, housewife.
