To catch a cheater at Christmastime, be alert for the following gift-related telltale signs:

Gift-Related Signs of Infidelity

If you suspect infidelity, (or even if you don’t), be alert for the following gift-related telltale signs:

Gift wrapped items that disappearfrom their hiding place that weren’t given to you. If you (or a member of your family) didn’t receive the gift on Christmas day, who was it given to?

Hidden, but unwrapped gift items clearly not intended for you– an item of clothing way too large or too small for you, or in a color or style your mate knows you hate and would never wear.

Store receipts or credit card statements for gift items that you didn’t personally receive. If you didn’t get that lingerie from Victoria’s secret, who did?

ATM slips for large, unexplained withdrawalsthat far exceed the value of the gift or gifts given to you or members of your mates family.

Giving or receiving Christmas gifts of an extremely personal nature to or from a member of the opposite sex. Certain types of gifts go way beyond what a person would normally give someone who’s “just a friend” – for example, lingerie.

Giving an unusually expensive Christmas gift to, or receiving a very expensive Christmas from a business acquaintance or casual friend of the opposite sex. – There’s a limit to how much money a person would normally spend on a Christmas gift for a business associate, or a casual friend.

This is the time of year to be alert for these, and other telltale signs of possible infidelity. See 5 Ways Christmas Gifts Can Expose Your Cheating Mate – What To Look For
