Gift Suggest

You can always tell if a man has made any effort or put any thought behind the valentine’s Day gift he buys simply by looking at them. A simple rule of thumb is that flowers and Valentine’s Day chocolate mean the guy only remembered it was Valentines Day when he saw the morning paper. And if you receive a home appliance and/or dish washing detergent, it’s likely that your boyfriend/husband was trying to ‘think out side the box’.

I know all this because I’ve received everything from spatulas to fabric softener in eight years of marriage. When ever my husband forgets about Valentines Day I get things like Valentines bouquets or a valentine’s heart box. When he remembers to plan for it, I get things like an all-in-one vegetable shredder XP. Either ways, the chances of me getting a thoughtful romantic Valentines Day gift have been slim for a long time. I kind of thought that it was unfair since I devote hours to my valentines shopping looking for romantic gifts for my husband. I finally broke his habit last year when I threatened his valentine’s day gift would be as good as what he bought for me.

The effect was amazing, he not only began planning in advance for Valentine’s Day, but he also spent hours online searching for unique Valentine’s Day gift ideas. At first I was a bit annoyed with the fact that he was doing it to avoid getting a bad Valentine’s Day gift from me but when he gave me my Valentine’s Day gift, a box of delicious chocolate covered strawberries, I forgot everything. The wonderful box of chocolate strawberries was a superb gift and anyone who heard about it envied me.
