Gift Suggest

The Valentine’s Day gifts that stores pile up are completely one sided. There are about a million things to choose from when it comes to finding romantic gifts for your wife or girlfriend but there is absolutely no variety for women who need to buy romantic gifts for men. Last year my husband very nearly forgot about Valentine’s Day. On the morning of February 1st I made heart shaped valentines pancakes and he asked me if I’d bought a new cookie cutter or something.

Long story short we got into a fight about Valentine’s Day, he said it was dumb and that I never really gave him anything on Valentine’s Day. My stand was that it’s not traditional for women to give Valentine’s Day gifts and naturally we started arguing about what was traditional on Valentine’s Day. We only called a truce because if we argued any longer the kids would be late for school. I vowed to myself that I’d get my husband the best Valentine’s Day gift ever just to prove my point. One week later I had no clue as to where I’d ever find romantic gifts for a guy. All the stores were filled with jewelry and Valentines chocolate gifts that were clearly for women.

The stuff at men’s stores would’ve made better birthday gifts than Valentine’s Day gifts. With no inspiration in sight I decided to find some scientific proof online that said women are not supposed to give Valentine’s Day gifts. apart from a few bitter anti-valentine’s day blogs I didn’t find anything that supported my argument, however I did find a really great valentine’s day gift for my husband; a box of dipped fruit. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before to get him fruit for Valentine’s Day, probably because I didn’t know about this really great option. I ordered the dipped fruit, a box that had the whole pineapple, orange, chocolate strawberries and apple variety and really surprised my husband who was sure I wouldn’t be able to find any romantic gifts for him. He loved the chocolate covered strawberries.
