With February fast approaching, there's one thing on every guy's mind: "Oh my God, what do I get my girlfriend/wife/date?" There's going to be a pretty mad rush to the shops to get a nice present for the day. It's a day when every guy will tiptoe on eggshells just to find the perfect gift to show their affection and make that special lady feel special.
There's no need to panic. The good thing is, for men, the basics of what makes a great Valentines gift are already well-defined. There are three staples: flowers, chocolate and jewelry.
Red roses are a good choice regardless of the stage of your relationship; they are appropriate in expressing either initial attraction or deep appreciation. Be advised though that giving them in three's is usually taken as a declaration of love (three red roses translate to 'I love you'). If you're not ready to go down that road yet, a single long-stemmed rose or a dozen in a bouquet is your safest best.
All women love chocolates. But though chocolates are one thing that most women cannot resist, make sure your girl is not in a no-chocolate diet because she won't be able to appreciate your present. Chocolates are also budget-friendly. If money is tight, you won't go wrong with commercial chocolate bars, but if you're feeling generous, you can always splurge on more mouth-watering confections (read: Belgian).
But nothing beats jewelry when it comes to making your girl melt. A deeper, lasting relationship deserves something as special as a ring, while a relationship that's just starting to develop can do with simple bracelets, necklaces, and other smaller trinkets. However, you really should be careful when you give expensive jewelry as this does have its underlying meanings, so you would do well to think this through to avoid being misinterpreted.
If you want to deviate a bit from the mainstream, there's a host of other gifts out there that you can choose from. A girl, depending on her tastes, may appreciate books, music CDs, perfumes, accessories like handbags, belts and shoes, and even movies. The sky the limit! Know what she would appreciate, and you can never go wrong.
If you're up to it, a self-composed song, poetry or love letter is still in fashion. In fact, something you labored on may make a more valuable gift than an expensive product you bought at the store. Put your talents into good use. If you have a knack for making great videos, how about a musical montage? If you're good with woodwork, make a handcrafted jewelry box. Cook for her, even if you have to learn to. Your effort will make a statement.
Remember that Valentine's Day is something that you should both share and enjoy. Why not do something that'll bring you closer together? A candlelit dinner, or a romantic getaway is sure to strengthen your bond as a couple. If you're on a budget, you can never go wrong with champagne.
At the end of the day, it's all about being with the object of your affection. Any gift will do, as long as it's sincere. When it comes from the heart, everything else easily falls into place. - 15266
