That’s according to a recent study from researchers at Concordia University and ESSEC Business School, who wanted to better understand how cute animal content has come to dominate the Internet.

Whether a romantic gesture or simply showing your appreciation for a dear friend, the best gifts for girlfriends reflect how special she is to you.
