Important chapters include "The 20 Biggest Gift-Giving Mistakes Men Make", "It's not about money or number of gifts, or is it?" and two chapters detailing in-depth, women's stories about worst and best gifts they have ever received. Many of best gifts, as pointed out in book, were not most expensive or glittery. They were often romantic gifts that were well thought out, affordable, considerate and timely.

Many of collective complaints about gifts from men to women are that men often don't remember important dates, don't pay attention to nuances of a woman's life and don't know what she prefers most or cares for least. The Male Gift Giving Survival Guide covers all three bases. The book features an extensive diary prompting men to record important dates, what makes her happy or feel loved, favorite colors, dress and jewelry sizes, travel destinations, food, restaurants, activities, etc. Guys can fill out this diary as their relationship with a woman progresses and consult it regularly for help choosing perfect gift. Other diary sections are for tracking any gift given to woman, her reaction and also a gift log so that same gift is not given again and again.

Overall, I found this book to be an amusing and accurate portrayal of importance of gifts in life of a woman. Every male over age of twelve who reads and follows this book will certainly reflect female appreciation of his genius in smile he wears on his face.
